Have you founded a company or worked
at a company started by a UCSD alum? We want to know - for the stories
behind these companies, for networking, for mentoring, and just
for war stories about successes and failures. Drop us a note at
startups@ucsd.edu so we can
build a database of activity.

would you like to see interviewed in @UCSD magazine? Send us an

Ancel Keys ’30 
Dr. Ancel Keys is a 1930 Ph.D. graduate of Scripps Institution of
Oceanography, UCSD. In 1961 he appeared on the cover of TIME Magazine
and was dubbed Mr. Cholesterol by the popular press for discovering
a link between cholesterol and heart disease. He was among the first
to apply mathematical regressions and prediction equations to human
biology. Commissioned by the government in World War II to study
human performance during nutritional deficiency states, he developed
a field ration that would have a long shelf life and yet sustain
armies in the field that became the eponymous K-ration. Further
research conducted by Dr. Keys established that a high fat diet
and smoking were significant risk factors in heart disease and coined
the term “risk factors” routinely evaluated in all health
assessments today. His work in studying whole populations that contrast
in diet and lifestyles showed us not only the major causes of premature
death from coronary disease, hypertension, stroke and peripheral
disease in the industrialized world, but pointed a way to prevention.
