Cheemeng Tan and Sean Collins, associate professors at UC Davis, are part of a national effort to develop a novel device for inflammatory bowel disease. The technology will function like a pharmacy inside the body, producing and releasing engineered cells as a real-time response to flare-ups.
Abigail Humphries is working on a National Institutes of Health-funded project to improve health outcomes of spina bifida at the University of California, Davis — where she was treated for the condition as a newborn over twenty years ago.
Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering Yi Xue has received a Maximizing Investigators' Research Award, which celebrates early-career researchers who demonstrate outstanding potential to advance biological research, for her program to advance microscopic techniques in deep tissue imaging.
Biomedical engineering professors have received Science Translation and Innovative Research grants from UC Davis to bring proof-of-concept technologies that advance human health to life, from early detection of cancer to an off-the-shelf treatment for cerebral palsy.
Anna Kolesov, who graduated with a bachelor's in biomedical engineering in June, has received the 2024 Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Research from the University of California, Davis.
By trying out various classes, research projects and clubs, graduating biomedical engineering major Sonia Bhaskaran narrowed down her interests and will pursue a graduate degree in neuroengineering.
