New Step Toward Programmable Chemistry May Help Reduce Drug Side Effects
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.
What Desert Locusts Reveal About Disaster Monitoring
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.
6 Unexpected Ways UC San Diego Researchers are Studying Space
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.
UC San Diego Awarded $4.85M to Grow NEMAR into HPC Hub for Neuro-AI
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.
Experimental Gene Therapy Shields Brain from Toxic Protein Damage
A gene therapy approach developed by UC San Diego researchers could provide a fix for neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's and related dementias.
