Join C4E Interim Dir. Christopher Glass from 4-5 p.m. Wed., Oct. 15, at UC San Diego's Moores Cancer Center Goldberg Auditorium for his Distinguished Scientist Director’s Lecture, "Exploiting dynamic epigenomic landscapes to decode macrophage phenotypes in health and disease."

Creating precise & comprehensive 3D "molecular maps" of human organs requires a lot of gigabytes. Congrats to C4E's Quan Zhu & Bogdan Bintu for receiving Western Digital's Petabyte Innovation Quest Award: A million+ gigs for biological discovery. bit.ly/46jYeku

From labs to lectures, Tritons lead. 🌟 UC San Diego is No. 4 U.S. public university and No. 20 worldwide in the 2025 Academic Ranking of World Universities. 🌍💡 Read more ➡️ bit.ly/47d3Y1H #UCSD #UCSanDiego #CollegeRankings

It's not just genetics. Or just lifestyle. Disease & peak health are both just expressions of an incredibly complicated ongoing physiological mosaic. One must account for genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, phophoproteomics, and much more. Focusing on muscle hypertrophy, this recent (open access) paper by my long-time friend @KevinMurachPhD does a great job of breakdown what this all is and how it works. Safe to say, much is left to learn.

New research from #UCSanDiego reveals a genomic link between air pollution and lung cancer in people who’ve never smoked. 🚭 The study found that environmental exposures can cause the same DNA mutations typically seen in smokers. 💨 bit.ly/4ncOY9o #AirPolution

C4E Senior Associate Dir. Allen Wang is featured in this article from Sanford Burnham Prebys on the ongoing CIAO longitudinal study of local residents 100 years and older. “A cell’s epigenome is shaped by a lifetime of environmental influences,” says Wang. newswise.com/articles/ciao-…

Friends of C4E: Please cast your vote for Quan Zhu’s eye-catching cellular map of the human developing heart in UC San Diego’s Art of Science competition. Each color in this image, which was generated with MERFISH, represents a distinct cell type. pollunit.com/polls/2025-art…

Senior Associate Dir. Allen Wang presents at today’s 10x Genomics User mtg on the work of C4E to identify disease-specific entities for heart, lung & liver ailments leveraging Droplet Paired Tag, Hi C & other techniques to create multiplexed single nucleus epigenomic profiling.

Today is the big day! The Center for Epigenomics is about developing conceptual breakthroughs for diseases that have long remained mysterious and difficult to treat. Your gift as part of Triton Giving Days goes straight toward that mission. Thanks! tritongivingday.ucsd.edu/campaigns/cent…

Tomorrow is the big day! Please consider making a contribution of your choosing to the UC San Diego Center for Epigenomics as part of Triton Giving Day (campaign is open early — you can give now!).
