New Look at an Ancient Disease: Study Finds Novel Treatment Targets for Gout

UC San Diego scientists identify a new molecular model and potential therapeutic target for gout, the most common form of inflammatory arthritis.

Artificial Intelligence Could Be New Blueprint for Precision Drug Discovery

Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine describe a new approach that uses machine learning to hunt for disease targets and then predicts whether a drug is likely to receive FDA approval.

Scientists Apply a Novel Machine Learning Method to Help Diagnose Deadly Respiratory Illness

An international team of scientists led by UC San Diego computer science and engineering professor Pengtao Xie has developed a new algorithm that shows promise in improving the detection of pneumonia from chest x-rays.

Vaping: A Serious Hit to Your Health

…barrier function and induced inflammation in mice. The study found chronic vapers, those who had vaped for at least six months and were never cigarette smokers, had inflammatory changes both in their blood and airways. A 2016 paper found that e-cig vapor boosts superbugs and dampens the immune system in…

Reverse Metabolomics: New Method Finds Biomarker for Inflammatory Bowel Disease

UC San Diego scientists’ debut “reverse metabolomics,” a groundbreaking approach to advancing microbiome research. They use the technique to discover hundreds of new human molecules, and a new biomarker and therapeutic target for inflammatory bowel disease

Campus Transformation Continues with a Multidisciplinary Research Space and Proposal for a New Campus District

Key projects that exemplify our focus on becoming a destination public university that is student-centered, research-driven, patient-dedicated and service-oriented were discussed by the University of California Board of Regents during their July meeting.

Shooting for the Stars

UC San Diego scientists are sending cells into space and health science into the future.

Parasite Lost

Using advanced methodologies that pit drug compounds against specific types of malaria parasite cells, an international team of scientists, including researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and the Genomics Institute of the Novartis Research Foundation, have identified a potential new weapon and approach for attacking…

…the liquid aids digestion. Inflammation produces scarring within the bile ducts, hardening and narrowing them and eventually resulting in serious liver damage. Most people with PSC also experience inflammatory bowel disease, such as ulcerative colitis. Andy did. After diagnosis, Andy became progressively more ill. He was admitted into different hospitals…

Novel Stem Cell-Derived Model Created of Inflammatory Neurological Disorder

An international team of scientists, led by University of California San Diego School of Medicine researchers, has created a human stem cell-based model of a rare, but devastating, inherited neurological autoimmune condition called Aicardi-Goutieres Syndrome (AGS). In doing so, the team was able to identify unusual and surprising underlying genetic…
