Berkeley engineers just made a discovery that could help advance heart failure therapeutics!
Using a heart-on-a-chip model, a team led by Professor Kevin Healy found a lipid nanoparticle that could penetrate the heart muscle to deliver therapeutic gene therapies.

Let there be light! 💡
“The Strauch Hypercube” lit up the Grimes Engineering Center during our Dean’s Society event tonight.
This installation is a visual representation of the relationship between exploration, innovation and community — and unlike anything else on campus.

Get ready to party like it’s 1941 — because today is Oski’s 84th B-day, and you’re invited!
Instead of cake and candles, Oski’s got one big birthday wish: Help every Cal student feel at home and flourish at UC Berkeley.
