Drug delivery and diagnostic imaging often lack specificity, but a new “TRACE” method lets specially‑caged compounds stay inert until a target cell’s enzymes quickly remove the cage, potentially allowing for more precise drug delivery and sharper diagnostic imaging.
A new working paper co-authored by Gordon McCord of the UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy suggests that the greatest benefits of disaster monitoring may come from catastrophes the world never sees.
In addition to UC San Diego’s well-known ties to space — producing astronauts such as Jessica Meir and Kate Rubins, offering K-12 offerings from Sally Ride Science, and sending health research to space, to name but a few — researchers are conducting space-related research in unexpected ways.
NIH funding will expand NEMAR's AI capabilities, integrate petabyte-scale neuroelectromagnetic datasets with SDSC supercomputing, and support new foundation models for brain research and broader community access.
A gene therapy approach developed by UC San Diego researchers could provide a fix for neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's and related dementias.
On June 11, Nobel Laureate Ramsdell will join School of Biological Sciences Dean Kit Pogliano for a discussion on the nation’s scientific enterprise and its foundation that has delivered bold breakthroughs and transformed lives through research and innovation.
