New Grant: Award Supports Growth Plate Tissue Engineering Research

Aug. 28, 2024 - Principal investigator:  Rachel Nordberg, biomedical engineering associate research specialist

Award: Two years of loan repayment, up to $50,000 annually

Funding agency:  NIH Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development

Project:  Tissue Engineering Self-assembled Neocartilage for Growth Plate Repair

Approximately 350,000 children experience a growth plate injury in the United States annually, and these injuries may cause stunted or deformed limb growth. Currently, there are no treatment options that restore the function of a damaged growth plate. This proposal will build upon preliminary data to develop a protocol for growth plate engineering.

With this project, Nordberg will characterize the functional properties of native growth plate tissue in both the human and the relevant large animal model of the Yucatan minipig. This will provide design criteria for a tissue-engineered implant and assess the minipig as a model for growth plate repair. Then she will engineer a growth plate that recapitulates the zonal organization of native tissue through the application of biochemical factors, laying the groundwork for developing a biologic implant for growth plate repair.

UC Irvine study reveals health impacts of repeated wildfires and smoke exposure

Research focused on impacted communities in eastern Coachella Valley

Irvine, Calif., Aug. 28, 2024 — University of California, Irvine public health researchers have published a study in the journal Environmental Research Health highlighting the compounded effects of frequent wildfires and smoke exposure on physical and mental health, local economies and community resilience in Southern California.

Through detailed focus groups and surveys across four affected locales – Thermal, Mecca, Oasis and North Shore – in eastern Coachella Valley, the work provides a comprehensive look at the personal and collective toll these disasters take on residents, says corresponding author Suellen Hopfer, associate professor of health, society and behavior at UC Irvine’s Joe C. Wen School of Population & Public Health.

The eastern Coachella Valley is a desert ecosystem within Riverside County with increasingly invasive grasslands coupled with extreme heat that frequently experiences wildfires. Hispanic American populations are well established in the valley, with an estimated 92 percent of residents originating from Latino countries (mostly Mexico). Agriculture and construction are the predominant industries and employers in this region.

Between February and April 2023, Hopfer and her team collected and analyzed 118 valley residents’ personal stories of evacuations, health impacts and disruptions to daily life caused by fires and smoke. Their findings are among the few to contribute to the literature about how low-income, marginalized communities can respond to and protect themselves from wildfire threats. They also highlight the strength and perseverance of the people fighting these circumstances.

The residents shared stories with the researchers about physical health issues triggered by wildfire smoke. Breathing difficulties, sinus problems and eye irritation were common, particularly among children, the elderly and those with preexisting conditions. Equally important were the mental health impacts.

Living with persistent smoke and extreme heat, children unable to go outside, and family members working in extreme heat and smoke resulted in continuous psychological stress, anxiety and fear. These psychological stressors were exacerbated by the constant possibility of dangerous wildfires.

“This report is made possible by the eastern Coachella Valley families and community residents who shared their fire experiences and effects with our research team,” said Hopfer, who holds a joint appointment in pediatrics. “Through our community-academia partnership, our findings can serve as a critical resource for policymakers, emergency response teams and public health officials aiming to develop more effective support systems to protect ECV’s most vulnerable populations.”

The findings, she added, underscore the urgent need for improved emergency preparedness and resources. Residents called for better communication channels, affordable trash services to reduce fire risks and tailored fire prevention education in Spanish. The study also emphasizes the importance of community interaction in wildfire mitigation, Hopfer said, with neighbors playing crucial roles in alerting and assisting one another during emergencies.

Additional authors included UC Irvine doctoral candidates Anqi Jiao and Mengyi Li, as well as Jun Wu, professor of environmental and occupational health, from the Joe C. Wen School of Population & Public Health, along with Anna Lisa Vargas from Communities for a New California Education Fund.

This work was supported by a grant from the California Air Resources Board.

A Time to Reconnect & Network: Information Systems Group Reunion

The gathering of Information Systems Group ( ISG ) alumni was purposefully both personal and professional, with discussions ranging from “how is your family?” to “how are you tackling the ever-growing demands of modern AI modeling and inference?” The unique event at UC Irvine was a year in the making and provided a relaxed space in which to blend shared experiences and research passions.

“We started talking in 2023 about hosting our first ever reunion for ISG alumni,” says Computer Science Professor Chen Li . “ISG alumni are doing very well, in a variety of career paths — in industry, in academia and at startups. So we wanted to create an opportunity for them to reconnect, share their experiences and possibly collaborate in new ways.”

Of the roughly 200 ISG graduates, more than 70 returned to UCI on May 23, 2024 to attend the reunion, organized by ISG faculty . “I hadn’t seen some of these people in over a decade,” says Li, “and it was great to welcome them back!”

The ISG Community

Many years ago, some faculty members within the Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences ( ICS ) created ISG to give people a sense of belonging under the larger ICS umbrella. Comprised of Computer Science faculty and graduate students and offering weekly seminars, ISG is a place for research into all aspects of modern and next-generation information systems and technologies. Students help each other, fostering an environment of exploration and collaboration.

“What is unique about the ISG lab is that it creates a community of students who are interested in both tackling the fundamental research of computer systems and data management as well as the practical challenges of building these systems to have real impact,” says ISG faculty member Faisal Nawab . “The ISG reunion has been a testament to the effectiveness of this approach to managing a research lab, as we have witnessed the successes of its alumni in industry, academia and entrepreneurial endeavors.”

The ISG Reunion

The two-day event included technical talks , a panel discussion , and student poster and research presentations.

“We decided to mix things up without any kind of boundaries,” says Li, noting that they had considered breaking up the talks and discussion by career path but decided against it. “We invited people to talk about their current research and work, and our students shared some of the projects we’re focused on now, so it was a nice mix.”

The following ISG alumni gave technical talks:

• Alexander Behm , a software engineer at Databricks;
• Yun Huang , an associate professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign;
• Shengyue Ji, a software engineer at Google;
• Yiming Ma, an AI platform manager at Axon; and
• Ronen Vaisenberg , a software engineer at Google.

“I aimed to bring life-lasting questions to students and share my journey of reinventing myself, hoping my experience could help students be open-minded to diverse opportunities,” says Huang, adding that it was great to catch up with old friends. “It was inspiring to see how our ISG members have flourished in different sectors.”

Vaisenberg similarly enjoyed seeing everyone, and his talk offered lessons learned during his 10 years at Google. “I also appreciated the talks, and the faculty reflecting on their careers. It created a sense of community, and I hope that we will build on the momentum of the reunion to help foster stronger connection between UCI ICS and its graduates over the years.”

In addition to the technical talks, Vinayak Borkar , cofounder of Mach5 Software, moderated a panel titled, “If I Could Turn Back Time.” The panel featured:

• Shiva Jahangiri , an assistant professor at Santa Clara University;
• Ravi Jammalamadaka , director of ML engineering at Adobe;
• Zhijing Qin , an engineering manager at Google; and
• Dawit Seid , a principal software engineer at Apple.

“My time at UCI has helped me a lot through my career, and it was really great to see how that was a common message across all the panelists,” says Borkar. “Dawit, Zhijing and Ravi all described how the Ph.D. process still shapes their life today, setting them up for success, while Shiva shared the unique perspective of an academic teaching computer science. It was wonderful see how each one of us had grown in the last decade.”

After hearing from alumni, ISG students Rahul Bhope, Vishal Chakraborty, Juncheng Fang and Yicong Huang gave research presentations. “It was interesting to hear about the impact of some of our earlier work,” says Li, “so we also wanted the alumni to see our current research and consider potential applications.”

A Model for Others

“It was truly wonderful to reconnect with our alumni, from those who graduated 25 years ago to those who were with us until very recently,” says Computer Science Professor Sharad Mehrotra . “ISG alumni are making a significant impact as leaders in their fields, and it’s deeply gratifying to know that we, as ISG faculty, played a part in their journey. These gatherings are vital, as they not only inspire our current students to reach new heights but also allow our alumni to take pride in their alma mater.”

ISG hopes to start hosting reunions every five years or so. In the meantime, the UCI ISG LinkedIn group is available to help alumni stay better connected.

ISG faculty are considering putting together a showcase event as well, highlighting student work for industry collaborators. “Our students are doing very interesting work, and people in both academia and industry could benefit from hiring them,” says Li, “so perhaps we’ll do a smaller event to showcase ISG research and promote our students.”

ISG faculty are also open to helping other research groups host similar gatherings. “I think this model could be replicated in different groups within ICS,” says Li. “I’m happy to talk with anyone interested, because it really does help people reconnect and further develop their careers.”

Jason King , Director of Corporate Relations in ICS, stresses that ISG isn’t just a model for planning a reunion. “They’re the gold standard when it comes to running a research group,” he says. “The synergy among the faculty and students and their depth of expertise brings significant value to their collaborations, whether advancing academic work, fostering tech transfer, or partnering with industry leaders. They have something special.”

UC Irvine students who were suspended after pro-Palestine protests sue chancellor, UC regents

IRVINE, Calif. (KABC) -- A new school year is set to start at University of California campuses over the next few weeks. However, the chaos that erupted in the spring at colleges across the state have not been forgotten.

Pro-Palestinian protestors, Israel supporters and police earlier this year clashed over the ongoing war in Gaza.

Now, five UC Irvine students who were indefinitely suspended because of the protests have filed a lawsuit against the university.

"These suspensions were issued without any hearing, they were imposed immediately based on unsubstantiated and unspecified allegations," said Thomas Harvey, a civil rights attorney who represents the students.

The students want to remain anonymous for fear over their safety and retaliation.

"These interim suspensions have had serious impacts on our lives," a male student said. "Four of us who were expected to graduate this spring quarter, this past spring quarter, were unable to do so."

They claim the consequences for protesting violate the university's rules and their constitutional right to due process.

"I was barred from my campus job. I was not able to go back and so those are wages I lost from the university. We also have a lot of classes that we need to take to finish but the university is not allowing us to do so," a female student said.

Harvey added, "The students urgently need a resolution to this suit as classes are about to begin and they cannot complete their degrees because of these indefinite suspensions."

UC President Michael Drake called on leaders of its 10 campuses to ban camping, encampments and unauthorized structures.

The use of masks to conceal identities by protestors, blocking entrances to university buildings and refusing to reveal one's identity when asked to do so by university personnel will also prohibited.

UC Irvine declined to comment on the pending lawsuit.

But in a statement, spokesperson Tom Vasich said, "We do want to take the opportunity to reiterate that from the onset and throughout the course of the unauthorized encampment, any students participating were repeatedly notified that their actions were violating university policy, and that they would face sanctions including disciplinary measures such as interim suspension."

The female student who spoke during a press conference on Tuesday said, "No matter what repressive tactics they take, no matter how much they try to bog down on any students movements, the students are fluid. The students are united."

The university said there needs to be a balance between freedom of speech and the need to protect the safety and security of students and staff.

W hile prestigious private colleges—particularly the eight Ivies—get the lion’s share of media attention, it’s public colleges that educate a majority of America’s undergraduates. Three out of every five bachelor’s degree-seeking students in the U.S. attend a state school. And as the cost of higher education continues to rise, it’s worth giving your own state’s offerings a serious look.

During the 2023-24 academic year, the average net price for tuition and fees—that is, the out-of-pocket cost after student aid is factored in—paid by private college students and their families was $15,910, compared with a net tuition and fees cost of only $2,730 for in-state public college students, according to the College Board . California high schoolers are especially lucky—seven in-state universities land on this top 25 list. But Texas, Florida and New York, the next three most populous U.S. states, can also claim universities on this list. And all 50 U.S. states and Puerto Rico are home to at least one public college on Forbes’ top 500 .

To determine this year’s top 25 public colleges, Forbes applied the same methodology to all four-year public colleges with at least 300 undergraduates that we used to determine the 500 schools on the America’s Top Colleges list. Our methodology prioritizes, among other things, high alumni salaries, low student debt levels and high returns on investment .

The following schools, which educate a combined 709,000 students, stood out as high performers on all 14 of our metrics. They’re listed in order of how highly they scored against their peers.
