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.
Advances in ultrasound — the same imaging technology that uses sound waves to allow doctors to monitor babies in utero — are being applied by engineers at UC San Diego to make railroad track inspection more effective.
A new method trains artificial intelligence systems to more reliably solve complex problems that require interpreting both text and images. In tests, AI models trained with this method outperformed others in solving math word problems containing images such as charts and diagrams.
