UC San Diego bioengineering professor David Gough devoted nearly half a century to a singular big-picture goal: improving the day-to-day experiences and the outlook on life of people with diabetes.
Researchers have developed a system that blocks malaria transmission in mosquitoes, which continue to be the deadliest animals on Earth. The CRISPR-based gene-editing system changes a single molecule within mosquitoes, a tiny but effective change that stops the malaria-parasite transmission process.
Computer scientists are challenging the common practice of using a single machine learning (ML) model to make such critical decisions. They asked how people feel when “equally good” ML models reach different conclusions.
“The Exodus means many things to many people,” says Distinguished Professor Tom Levy, who organized the event at the UC San Diego Qualcomm Institute.
A new tool allows researchers to probe the metabolic processes within the leaves, stems, and roots of a key citrus crop, the clementine. The big goal is to improve the yields, flavor and nutrition of citrus and non-citrus crops, despite increasingly harsh growing conditions and pests.
Startup Polaris Electro-Optics is developing a device that enables higher speed, more efficient and more cost-effective data transfer, leveraging facilities at UC San Diego Qualcomm Institute and the talent of UC San Diego alumni.
