Every day in our labs, classrooms and field research, UCR geneticists, biologists, psychologists, anthropologists, entomologists and engineers are living the promise of world-class healthcare.
We invent DNA-based technologies to diagnose and treat cancer. We research the biology and behavior of insects to help prevent the spread of devastating diseases. We develop powerful new pharmaceuticals and employ nanomedicine to heal wounds. We educate future neuroscientists, microbiologists and physicians, and we are home to California’s newest medical school, the UCR School of Medicine.
We unlock the mysteries of the human genome, because the power to heal lies within us all.
