Nanoengineers receive $4.3M from NIH to continue studies using plant viruses to treat cancer
Researchers led by Nicole Steinmetz, professor of nanoengineering at the University of California San Diego, have received $4.3 million in grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to advance their research using plant viruses to develop cancer immunotherapies.
Engineering a solution to a skin-deep problem of blood oxygen measurements
Blood oxygen monitoring is one of the main methods to determine if COVID-19 patients need immediate medical attention, but the devices used for these measurements can be less accurate on darker skin tones. UC San Diego nanoengineers are engineering a solution to improve accuracy on all skin tones.
New algorithms help four-legged robots run in the wild
A new system of algorithms developed by UC San Diego engineers enables four-legged robots to walk and run on challenging terrain while avoiding both static and moving obstacles. The work brings researchers a step closer to building robots that can perform search and rescue missions or collect i...
