The Biomedical Engineering Society at the University of California, Davis, provides students with a platform to leverage their classroom knowledge to tackle real-world challenges its annual Make-a-Thon competition.
UC Davis researchers have developed a new catheter-based device that combines two powerful optical techniques to image the dangerous plaques that can build up inside the arteries that supply blood to the heart.
A new initiative from the Department of Biomedical Engineering’s Health, Equity and Wellness Committee provides a safe place for students, staff and faculty to openly discuss the unique issues women and historically excluded minorities face in biomedical engineering.
In honor of International Women’s Day on March 8, the University of California, Davis, College of Engineering recognizes women in engineering, their journey to and in the field, and how they promote a diverse, equitable and inclusive world.
Meet some remarkable women in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, and learn how they inspire inclusion in engineering.
Meet Emily Arana — a fourth-year student majoring in biomedical engineering at the University of California, Davis, recently recognized with a Cadence Diversity in Tech Scholarship from over 300 submissions.
The Department of Biomedical Engineering redesigns its Quarter at Aggie Square program to offer a robust toolkit for students interested in the biomedical device industry. Students now take manufacturing and entrepreneurial classes alongside clinical immersion opportunities.
The Department of Biomedical Engineering invites applications from qualified candidates for one or more Assistant Project Scientist positions in the laboratory of Professor Laura Marcu.
Jie Zheng, a new assistant professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, studies the cognitive mechanisms the human brain uses to structure and store memories. Through a deeper understanding of these processes, Zheng hopes to improve medical interventions for cognitive disorders like dementia.
When Associate Professor Emilie Roncali was a project scientist in the Cherry Lab, she developed a field-defining simulation model for nuclear medicine. Now, she’s working to level up the model with generative AI.
A team of UC Davis researchers led by bioengineer Aijun Wang has designed and tested a supportive structure, called a scaffold, that can help large deep burn wounds heal faster. The promising new treatment was found to promote the formation of new blood vessels and reduce complications linked to open burn wounds.
A biomedical engineering alumna studied the mechanical properties of different surfaces used in equestrian sports to better understand why show jumping horses were becoming injured.
In many classrooms, instructors use touchscreen tablets to operate overhead projectors. They are straightforward tools, but only if the user can see which buttons to press. This summer, University of California, Davis, history lecturer Seth Clark discovered his sight impairment made the tablets challenging to use.
The IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society has recognized Professional Researcher Gerard Ariño-Estrada for his significant contributions to radiation instrumentation and measurement techniques for ionizing radiation.
In cell therapies, regenerating tissues often must be damaged to know if the treatment is working. Jinhwan Kim wants to remedy that with non-invasive, real-time monitoring of cellular function and health.
