Energizing Plastics Renewability, Recycling Efforts

October 30, 2020

Research proposals by Professors Michael Burkart and Jon Pokorski were selected for funding as part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Plastics Innovation Challenge to accelerate energy-efficient plastics recycling technologies.

Bioengineered Marine Algae Expands Environments Where Biofuels Can Be Produced

November 26, 2012

Biologists at UC San Diego have demonstrated for the first time that marine algae can be just as capable as fresh water algae in producing biofuels. The scientists genetically engineered marine algae to produce five different kinds of industrially important enzymes and say the same process they used could be…

Grant-Funded UC San Diego Talent Foundry Open to Community Members

May 1, 2024

By facilitating partnerships, strengthening the network of support, and providing access to financial resources, the Talent Foundry aims to diversify and fortify San Diego’s entrepreneurial ecosystem, particularly in tech, biotech, blue tech and life science.

Under Pressure: How Comb Jellies Have Adapted to Life at the Bottom of the Ocean

June 27, 2024

UC San Diego Assistant Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry Itay Budin teamed up with researchers from around the country to study the cell membranes of ctenophores (“comb jellies”) and found they had unique lipid structures that allow them to live under intense pressure.

A Salute to Sacrifice

May 29, 2012

…of physicists, biologists, chemists, bioengineers and psychologists received a five-year, $7 million grant from the U.S. Department of Defense to investigate the dynamic principles of collective brain activity. You can read more about their efforts here. This is just one of many research iniatitives supported by defense-related funding at UC…

UC San Diego’s Big Ideas for 2016 — and Beyond

January 7, 2016

…more interdisciplinary collaboration among bioengineers, materials scientists, biologists, and clinical doctors to focus on 3D printing patient-specific functional tissues and organs, we could help more people get the lifesaving organ transplants they need before it’s too late,” says Chen. Offer intentional instruction in network literacy Alan J. Daly, professor and…

UC San Diego Mathematics Professor Wins Major Math Prize

November 17, 2016

…(she’s now working with bioengineers and biologists formulating models of biological systems), much of Williams’ research continues to be theoretical, sketched out in her office, she said, “with a pencil and a yellow pad of paper.” While computers, she said, have become a powerful tool for mathematicians, in her case…

Research Expo Offers Exclusive Peek at Tomorrow’s Game-changing Technologies

March 12, 2012

New green methods for making hydrogen fuels. Microrockets that can circulate in the human body without external fuel. Improved seismic safety in hospitals and other structures. New approaches to help utilities integrate solar power into the energy grid.

New Technology Improves Heart Rhythm Treatment

July 18, 2012

Researchers from UC San Diego, the University of California Los Angeles and Indiana University report having found, for the first time, that atrial fibrillation or irregular heart rhythms is caused by small electrical sources within the heart, in the form of electrical spinning tops (“rotors”) or focal beats. Importantly, they…

Breast Tumor Stiffness and Metastasis Risk Linked by Molecule’s Movement

April 20, 2015

Researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and Moores Cancer Center have discovered a molecular mechanism that connects breast tissue stiffness to tumor metastasis and poor prognosis. The study may inspire new approaches to predicting patient outcomes and halting tumor metastasis.
