…influenced by our environments, health, diet and habits, and how those microbes in turn influence our health. In order to now collect valuable research data on SARS-CoV-2, the team has tweaked the Microsetta kits in two key ways: How You Can Participate in the Microsetta Initiative Your help is needed…

…than teaching alone, using technology to enhance the learning process, and providing hands on experiential training—such as research opportunities and internships—for a significant fraction of our students through an expanded Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program. Opportunity is also ripe for leveraging our partnerships with colleagues on the La Jolla Mesa to…

Researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and Moores Cancer Center are working with GSK on a bench-to-bedside project to treat leukemia and other diseases by eliminating cancer stem cells. The collaboration is part of GSK’s Discovery Partnerships with Academia (DPAc) program, where academic partners become…

…minority in higher education, health care, technology and business, and other fields. It is our unconscious biases, she says, our pre-programmed thoughts and beliefs that often dictate first impressions, hiring preferences and leadership promotions. While these are timesaving processes in certain contexts, they can also reinforce inequity. “One of the…

Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine and Moores Cancer Center have identified RNA-based biomarkers that distinguish between normal, aging hematopoietic stem cells and leukemia stem cells associated with secondary acute myeloid leukemia (sAML), a particularly problematic disease that typically afflicts older patients who have often already…

Current methods to model or correct mutations in live cells are inefficient, especially when multiplexing — installing multiple point mutations simultaneously across the genome. Researchers from the UC San Diego have developed new, efficient genome editing tools called multiplexed orthogonal base editors (MOBEs) to install multiple point mutations at once.…
