UC San Diego’s Center for Scientific Computation in Imaging has received a $7.5 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to continue its interdisciplinary exploration of diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) work related to Alzheimer’s disease.
From the operating room to our homes and streets, robots are becoming increasingly integral to our daily activities. The UC San Diego Contextual Robotics Institute hosted its eighth annual forum with the theme “Robots in the Wild,” showcasing varied applications of robots in real-world scenarios.
Two researchers at UC San Diego received close to $10 million in grants from the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine, the agency announced.
Researchers from UC San Diego have developed an easily-implemented toolkit for genomics researchers that simplifies the process of analyzing data with deep learning, a type of artificial intelligence capable of improving itself with limited user input.
As the antibiotic-resistance crisis widens, researchers seek new therapies. To learn about intriguing viruses called bacteriophages that fight bacteria, an innovative first-year biology class led to new findings, co-led by 28 undergraduates, on how bacteriophages protect themselves against bacteria.
An international team of researchers has developed a handheld, non-invasive device that can detect biomarkers for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Diseases. The biosensor can also transmit the results wirelessly to a laptop or smartphone.
