Rewritten genetic code allows bacteria to fend off viral attacks
By partially rewriting the genetic code in bacteria, two groups of researchers have found they can thwart invading viruses, which must hijack the microbes’ genetic machinery to replicate. … Such recoding might help prevent viral outbreaks in factories that use bacteria to churn out drugs or other products. … The bacteria could also help biologists study the evolution of the genetic code itself, says synthetic biologist Chang Liu, [professor of biomedical engineering] of the University of California, Irvine.

Richard Branson’s Space Company Is Teaming Up with Medical Researchers to Make Ventilators
“We face a slow-motion Dunkirk, and getting ventilators out there is very important to save lives,” said Dr. Brian J.F. Wong, assistant chairman of otolaryngology at UCI, in a statement. “The demand outstrips supply, so it is important the government, industry, academia, non-profits and the community work together to identify solutions, and design and construct them as fast as possible.” Read More

Research Thrusts
The Samueli School pursues research that is timely, socially responsible and trendsetting. Building on a strong foundation of fundamental engineering areas, ranging from mechanics to electronic devices, four thrust areas have been identified to shape the future of research in the Samueli School. These thrust areas catalyze pioneering research by engaging a broad spectrum of School faculty, drawing researchers from outside of engineering, attracting the most talented graduate students and focusing attention and resources on the most important engineering challenges of our times.
