UCI Brain Launch Event kicks off an ambitious campus effort to expand the horizons of neuroscience research

With jump in patients expected, new leader of clinical research operations at UCI MIND aims to accelerate translation of discoveries into effective treatments

UCI researchers and collaborators have developed a “lab on a chip” platform to facilitate continuous, inexpensive, rapid and personalized drug screening. The technology is capable of evaluating the effectiveness of treatments on cancer cells without bulky readout equipment or requiring the shipment of samples to labs. The scientists’ work is the subject of a new […]

According to a new UCI-led study, it’s not just how much media exposure an individual has to collective trauma but also the graphic quality of what one sees that may make a person more vulnerable to trauma-related mental and physical health problems over time. The team analyzed the results from more than 3,000 anonymous online […]

Co-hosted by UCI MIND, the 30th Annual Southern California Alzheimer’s Disease Research Conference will share recent discoveries

Campus seeks $2 billion for research, healthcare, scholarships, cultural endeavors

UCI Health applies ‘game changing’ technology to improve screening

Radiation therapy is one of the most widely used cancer treatments, but a drawback of the procedure is that it can cause collateral damage to healthy tissue in proximity to cancerous growths. Identifying organs at risk via CT scans is a difficult and labor-intensive process, but UCI computer scientists and researchers from other institutions have […]

Sue & Bill Gross Stem Cell Research Center seeks to demystify its work with public lecture series, open houses

UCI engineers have received $1 million from the National Science Foundation to design integrative approaches for measuring real-time brain activity during social interactions in sleep-disrupted animal models. Early-life sleep disruption has been shown to affect the development of complex social behaviors in prairie voles, the studied model, impairing social bonding in a manner similar to […]
