School of Biological Sciences Assistant Professor Uri Manor overcame the challenges of a disability that caused social neglect and other obstacles on the way to leading a new high-tech cluster. Get to know him in this Q&A.
The UC Regents approved plans for a multidisciplinary life sciences building to help meet growing demand for modern teaching and research space across UC San Diego's School of Biological Sciences and Health Sciences.
The AI revolution and other innovations are bolstering equitable, community-centered solutions to major societal issues and technologies piloted at UC San Diego are laying the groundwork for a better future. A Deep Look into the AI Revolution in Innovation and Equity features: Corinne Peek-Asa, Vice Chancellor for Research and Innovation; David Danks, Professor of Data Science and Philosophy; Kit Pogliano, Dean, School of Biological Sciences; and Amy Sitapati, Chief Medical Information Officer, Population Health, and Chair, Department of Biomedical Informatics, UC San Diego Health.
They are one of 50 graduate student-adviser pairs selected this year through the nationwide program, which was established to recognize mentorship and diversity in scientific training. Members of this year’s Gilliam Fellowship cohort are based at 43 institutions across the United States.
Using California poppies as a model organism, a new research project — co-led by Professor Elsa Cleland — across the UC Natural Reserve System will highlight how genetic diversity and rates of gene flow affect plant success. The results will help predict how plant species will fare as they experience climate change.
While humans feature a sophisticated sense of smell, insects have a much more basic olfactory system. Yet they depend upon smell to survive. BioSci researchers have figured out how fruit flies use a simple but efficient system to recognize odors, and the answer lies at the edges of their antennae.
Graduate students Isabel Mejia and Torrey Rhyne were awarded 2024 Graduate Research Program fellowships from the National Science Foundation. The program ensures the quality, vitality and diversity of the scientific and engineering workforce.
In honor of Distinguished Professor Emeritus Rick Firtel’s 80th birthday, the Firtel family provided financial support for students in the Eureka! Scholars Program, which offers students priceless work experiences in BioSci laboratories.
In Professor Rommie Amaro's Lab, BioSci graduate student Toheeb Balogun focuses on the structural dynamics of viral glycoproteins and designing entry-level inhibitors. Meet Toheeb and learn about his career interests, what he enjoys most about being a graduate student and advice for incoming students.
UC San Diego postdoctoral scholars from across the university described an array of intriguing research studies in short bursts during a recent Elevator Pitch Competition, which was a featured part of the Postdoctoral Association’s Research Communication and Outreach Symposium.
