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.
Janet Kwon is a doctoral student driven by research that advances human health and improves the treatment of animals at the same time. We spoke with Kwon to learn more about her organ-on-a-chip research and the significance of pursuing scientific work that is personally fulfilling.
The annual UC Davis event, hosted by the Biomedical Engineering Society and the Translating Engineering Advances to Medicine Lab, allows undergraduates to apply their engineering skills and receive hands-on experience in product design and prototyping.
A collaboration between UC Davis Health and the Translating Engineering Advances to Engineering, or TEAM, Lab is simplifying a rare, complex surgery through three-dimensional printed models to help surgical teams plan and prepare.
The Quarter at Aggie Square Biomedical Engineering cohort wrapped up their 10-week experience with a presentation of three medical prototypes for growth-accommodating heart valves, noninvasive glucose monitors and stroke-detection devices. The students chose the concepts to solve complex health challenges they encountered.
Biomedical engineering doctoral candidate Ekaterina Shanina discusses her experience as a first-time conference presenter at the IEEE Medical Imaging Conference, where she received a prestigious award for her research in positron emission tomography.
The College of Engineering alum and staff member discusses her path to engineering, how industry experience prepared her for her current role with the Translating Engineering Advances to Medicine Lab and the importance of a strong engineering community for growth and innovation.
Graduate student Xiaoyu Duan shares how her experience at the 2024 IEEE Medical Imaging Conference gave her a fresh perspective on research: discussing ideas with others enriches both the research and the researcher.
Every winter, influenza returns with a new variant. People who have previously been infected with or vaccinated against flu may have some protection, but this depends on how well their immune system’s “memory” of the previous virus or vaccine cross-reacts with the new variant. At present, there is no good way to measure this.
Bruce Tromberg, director of the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering, was the guest speaker for the 15th annual Maroney-Bryan Lecture in the Department of Biomedical Engineering. He discussed medical and engineering partnerships and the bright future for next-level engineering solutions in healthcare, particularly at UC Davis.
