A new UC San Diego Qualcomm Institute initiative to test AI-enabled simulations for professional development is bringing one of the institute’s earliest startup incubator residents back — this time as a collaborator.
A team of researchers has found a way to steer the output of large language models by manipulating specific concepts inside these models. The new method could lead to more reliable, more efficient, and less computationally expensive training of LLMs. But it also exposes potential vulnerabilities.
UC San Diego is stepping in to pair urgent defense priorities with the people and ideas best suited to solve them. A new initiative launched this year — the FORGE — is designed to position the university and the San Diego region at the forefront of a national shift in how innovation happens.
UC San Diego School of Medicine and Scripps Researchers scientists used novel technology to map protein translation in ~20,000 individual mouse brain hippocampal cells, revealing that some memory neurons produce proteins faster than others.
A new AI tool developed by UC San Diego researchers uses clinical data to predict colorectal cancer risk in ulcerative colitis patients, helping clinicians make evidence‑based care decisions and preventing treatment delays.
UC San Diego faculty members Valentina Di Santo, Fleur Ferguson, Mattia Serra and Hao Zhang have been named 2026 Sloan Research Fellows. The four scientists represent UC San Diego’s Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute (HDSI), the School of Physical Sciences and Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
