…variety of applications, from biomedicine and tissue specific targeting to data storage. Making the decision to attend UC San Diego was fairly easy, said Arroyave. “UC San Diego recently added a magnetic chemistry professor to the faculty, and the resources and research instruments (SQUID for magnetism!) really set this campus…

…for Marine Biotechnology and Biomedicine. She looked at the relationship between the marine actinomycete Salinispora tropica and other environmental marine bacteria collected from the seafloor off Mexico. The bacterium Salinispora tropica, discovered in 1991 by Scripps scientists Jensen and William Fenical, shows promise for producing compounds that could treat diseases…

…advance the field of biomedicine. Working with the MacMillan lab at UC Santa Cruz and with researchers at UC San Francisco, Jensen and colleagues will use these novel methods to capture marine microbes and screen them to provide critical information about molecules that could be useful in cancer-treatment research. This…
