"After 20 years at UC San Diego, Larry Smarr will step down as the director of the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2) and retire as a distinguished professor from the Jacobs School of Engineering's Computer Science and Engineering Department at the end of this month. Dr. Ramesh Rao, professor of electrical and computer engineering at the Jacobs School of Engineering, will serve as interim director of Calit2, in addition to his current position as the director of the Qualcomm Institute."

Jurgen P. Schulze "Dr. Schulze's research focus is on making interactive 3D visualization systems easier to use. This includes both the visual display of the data, and input paradigms. Dr. Schulze uses high-end clustered graphics systems, such as virtual reality CAVEs to immerse the user in the data, and he uses 3D tracked input devices and more recently smart phones and tablets to interact with the virtual reality system. Dr. Schulze is the director of the Immersive Visualization Laboratory (IVL) at UC San Diego's Qualcomm Institute, the San Diego division of Calit2. In the CSE Department, Dr. Schulze teaches CSE 167 (Introduction to Computer Graphics) and CSE 165 (3D User Interfaces) and runs independent study projects in his laboratory at the Qualcomm Institute."

"Our mission is to improve public health through prevention research, education, and clinical care." The department's clinical care and community-based initiatives aim to transform health care in San Diego through the practice of family medicine, preventive medicine, sports medicine, integrative medicine, and research that is practice-based. We have a robust portfolio of innovative clinical and public health focused research projects that address contemporary public health challenges through tools from biostatistics/bioinformatics, behavioral medicine, epidemiology, policy, and dissemination and implementation science. We have established Centers of Excellence in cardiovascular epidemiology, health behavior and equity, integrative health, tobacco control, wireless and population health, and women's health. Innovative, interdisciplinary partnerships are ongoing with Qualcomm Institute/Calit2, Moores Cancer Center, the Scripps Institute of Oceanography, Center for Microbiome Innovation, and many other departments.

Dr. Michael Kurisu D.O. "This is from a former student at CalIt2 that has a GREAT site connecting people. It has all great interactive data coming in from national sites about COVID Cases. As it says on top... Made with love by first-generation Chinese Americans.. Also has a 'matching' program for hospital that need PPEs and quantity of them AND.. has a matching program for grocery store chains and what they have in stock etc... AND has a 'job posting' arena trying to get people matched up where jobs are available. AWESOME citizen-run project by computer programmers and students… Why oh WHY is our government not running something like this??

" "The Future Patient, The Future Doctor: A Healthy Relationship" Over the past year, a select group of patients has coalesced to form something groundbreaking - Project Apollo, a movement to build a robust, longitudinal picture of health and wellness for each patient. Future patients will take an active role in their own health, co-creating a team of healthcare providers and using data from family, caregivers, community, and the environment to guide them through a quantified journey of health. Sharon Anderson Morris, Sr. Director, SNS Programs, and CEO, FiReFilms Mary Beckerle, CEO, Huntsman Cancer Institute Larry Smarr, Founding Director, Calit2, (a UC San Diego / UC Irvine partnership) Moderated by Michael Kurisu, Director, Project Apollo and UCSD Center for Integrative Medicine "

"Computer scientist Larry Smarr and osteopathic physician Michael Kurisu present a vision for healthcare that combines the best of allopathic and osteopathic medicine by using a more personalized, hands-on, systems-based approach to treating patients. They demonstrate this proof of concept with details on how Smarr diagnosed his own Crohn's disease by using blood and stool tests to track changes in his body. And when the symptoms became too severe, Smarr collaborated with his surgeon, Sonia Ramamoorthy, MD, to plan the operation based on 3D images of his organs created at his research institute, Calit2 at UC San Diego. Kurisu then introduces Project Apollo, a group of patients inspired by Smarr who are collecting their own data to develop personalized treatments for their particular conditions.
