Triton Center for Performance and Injury Science

The Innovation Hub at UC San Diego focuses on designing next-generation tools to acquire high-value tissue and cell samples from athletes, creating a repository of the resulting biospecimens and translating discoveries from bioassay analysis to the clinic for the benefit of athletes and the public. This project is made possible by the Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance.
