After eight years of planning and development, Aggie Square opened its doors on the University of California, Davis' Sacramento campus on May 2. Among the first experts setting the stage for the expansive innovation district are members of the Department of Biomedical Engineering.
From bioengineering and medical device development, the next chapter of UC Davis' innovation story is set to unfold at Aggie Square. Here is a look at three innovative teams and programs connected to the College of Engineering that are getting ready to call it home.
Biomedical engineers at the University of California, Davis, have developed a fast and cost-effective microscopy system capable of imaging depths previously impossible to reach in scattering tissues, such as bone and the brain.
The Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME), in the College of Engineering at UC Davis, invites applications for a pool of qualified temporary instructors to teach courses. Screening of applicants is ongoing and will continue as needed.
There are up to twelve positions open for the Fall 2025 (which may include a summer appointment), Winter 2026, and Spring 2026 quarters.
Dateline UC Davis sat down with Tech Foundry Director Steven Lucero about the development facility’s focus and how a second location at Aggie Square will open new possibilities.
UC Davis Tech Foundry signifies the facility’s evolution from a biomedical engineering makerspace to a device development center providing engineering services and education to all in need across two locations — one on the Davis campus and another at Aggie Square in Sacramento.
The assistant project scientist receives the UC Davis Academic Federation distinction for groundbreaking biomedical imaging research, particularly in the area of total-body positron emission tomography, or PET imaging.
Carney is one of eight faculty members to join this year’s class of Chancellor’s Fellows at the University of California, Davis. The distinction is given to early academics doing exemplary work in their fields.
A few miles southeast of Downtown Sacramento, amidst world-class hospitals, research buildings and teaching facilities, biomedical engineers are helping shape the future of research, scholarship and entrepreneurship at UC Davis.
The Cube³ Lab, part of the Department of Biomedical Engineering, has developed a new course for first-year students to build community as they learn about and find solutions to the issues women face in engineering.
