A technology that maps entire networks of RNA-protein interactions inside human cells could offer new strategies for treating diseases ranging from cancer to Alzheimer's.
UC San Diego biologists have created a transformative new way to monitor genes. The game-changing tool known as RUBY is an inexpensive, easy-to-use technology that allows researchers to visualize genetic changes. The tool has expanded globally from plant biology into a range of other fields.
The University of California San Diego is launching an artificial intelligence major for undergraduates this fall — the result of more than a decade of growth in AI teaching and research here on campus.
UC San Diego has received a $1M NSF ExLENT grant to launch ExSTENT, a nine-week summer program training community college students and teachers for careers in semiconductor manufacturing and emerging nanotechnologies like biotech, solar energy, photonic circuits and quantum circuits.
"When we think about tomorrow’s energy storage solutions, we should imagine the same gigafactory can produce products based on both lithium and sodium chemistries," says Y. Shirley Meng, a faculty member at the University of Chicago and UC San Diego.
When UC San Diego bioengineering students step into their newly renovated instructional labs this fall, they’ll find themselves in cutting-edge spaces designed not just for hands-on learning, but with the specific needs of bioengineers in mind.
