New Imaging Tool Advances Study of Lipid Biology

From flies to humans, there are many types lipids operating at once. Now, a team led by UC San Diego bioengineers presents what they believe is the first method for distinguishing multiple lipid subtypes in cells and tissue samples by using nondestructive label-free optical imaging methods.

This multi-color image visualizes structures containing different lipid subtypes that the researchers found in the same region of the fat body tissue within a fruit fly. Each lipid subtype has a different molecular composition that is represented by a different color in this image. These lipid subtypes were found using the team’s new PRM-SRS imaging detection technologies. The research team led by UC San Diego bioengineers that created this technology believe that it is the first method for distinguishing multiple lipid subtypes in cells and tissue samples by using nondestructive label-free optical imaging methods.

AI Fire-Detection Tool Awarded for “Innovations in Networking” by CENIC

The Corporation for Education Network Initiatives in California (CENIC) named the AI fire -detection tool created by UC San Diego’s ALERTCalifornia program, CAL FIRE, and industry partner DigitalPath the winner of the 2024 Innovations in Networking Award for Innovation in Public Safety.

Two adults view a huge wall-sized screen showing multiple views from ALERTCalifornia's network of cameras. Each camera view shows a different California landscape that is being monitored for fire and other natural hazards. Some landscapes are urban while most show mountains and rolling hills.

Broadening Access to Bridge the Gap between Data Innovation and Computing Infrastructure

The San Diego Supercomputer Center at UC San Diego and the University of Utah have announced a national-scale pilot project, called the National Data Platform, aimed at a service ecosystem to make access to and use of scientific data open and equitable across a broad range of communities.
