Stem Cell research at UC San Diego got an additional boost from a $2.8 million Shared Research Laboratory Grant funded in 2007 by the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) supports the creation of a new 2,775 square-foot satellite core facility in UC San Diego’s Jacobs School of Engineering. The laboratory will build on the research and expertise of faculty from Bioengineering and other departments in the Jacobs School, and from the Division of Physical Sciences. Faculty researchers in these departments include experts in new technologies such as nanotechnology, biomaterials, instrumentation, bioreactors and tissue engineering, all key to the stem cell research effort.

Researchers at the Center for Marine Biotechnology and Biomedicine are exploring the oceans for novel and diverse
resources to help cure human disease. As the number of new sources for terrestrial biomedicines has dwindled, the oceans represent a vast, largely untapped resource. Scientists at UC San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography are analyzing bacteria in deep-sea sediment and marine algae from locations throughout the world.

In a new national effort to fight cancer with “nanoscale” devices that find and destroy tumor cells while leaving healthy tissue unharmed, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in 2005 awarded UC San Diego $3.9 million in the first year of a five-year $20 million initiative to establish a Center for Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence (CCNE). The UCSD center will use nanotechnology to develop anti-cancer therapies that directly target tumor cells; more accurate and faster diagnostics; and ways to track down cancer cells that survive therapy.
