Cooked Crustaceans, Cannabis and a Budder Way

Researchers expose live lobsters to vaporized cannabis and confirm the crustaceans absorb THC. Whether the psychoactive compound affects behavior remains open question.

Electrical Engineering Transfer Student Awarded Fellowship for Women in Aerospace

UC San Diego electrical engineering student Grecia Paola Siono Gutierrez has been named a 2024 Brooke Owens Fellow, which recognizes exceptional undergraduate women in aerospace. Siono Gutierrez is the sixth recipient from the Jacobs School of Engineering in the eight-year history of the fellowship.

New Blueprint of Brain Connections Reveals Extensive Reach of Central Regulator

UC San Diego researchers have generated a new map of brain connectivity from a part of the brain called the basal ganglia, a hub for regulating motor and behavior functions. The breadth of connections revealed could potentially open avenues for intervention of Parkinson’s disease and other disorders

UC San Diego Leads $50.5M Center for Computing

Researchers led by UC San Diego computer scientist Tajana Simunic-Rosing have entered in a $35 million contract from the Semiconductor Research Corporation to make computing orders of magnitude faster and more efficient. A group of 10 universities will band together to create the PRISM center.

Active Genetics Technology Opens New Horizons

Employing CRISPR/Cas9 advancements, UC San Diego researchers are using new active genetics technology to reveal new fundamental mechanisms that control gene activity. The authors also provide experimental validation for using active genetics as an efficient means for targeted gene insertion, or “transgenesis,” and single-step replacement of genetic control elements.

Coding with Colorful Cards: Kids Learn Arduino-based Code with Tinker the Robot

Meet Tinker the Robot. UC San Diego mechanical engineering alumnus (2007) Kay Yang created him to teach and inspire young children to play with robots.

New Computer Program ‘Learns’ to Identify Mosaic Mutations That Cause Disease

UC San Diego researchers describe a method for teaching a computer how to spot complex “mosaic mutations” using an artificial intelligence approach termed “deep learning.”

Rewriting the Textbook on Gene Regulation: It’s the Big Picture That Counts

For the first time, researchers at UC San Diego have shown that changes in gene expression happen almost entirely during the transcription stage while the cells are growing. The researchers have provided a simple quantitative formula linking regulatory control to mRNA and protein levels.

Protein Switch Dictates Cellular Fate: Stem Cell or Neuron

Researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have discovered that a well-known protein has a new function: It acts in a biological circuit to determine whether an immature neural cell remains in a stem-like state or proceeds to become a functional neuron.

Capturing Creativity with Computation for Music AI

We know it when we see it, but what is creativity and can it be quantified? In a paper that guides future AI development, a team from UC San Diego’s Jacob School of Engineering, Department of Music and Qualcomm Institute has discovered answers in the context of musical collaboration.
