Having experience trekking literal and metaphorical hills, biomedical engineering graduate student Abigail Humphries explains how being in nature via hiking and endurance competitions has nurtured her research.
Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Biomedical Engineering Simon Cherry's career spans more than three decades. His work has centered around understanding human health and disease as well as pursuing novel ways to develop faster and more sensitive imaging technologies that may benefit patients all over the world.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Fifth-year biomedical engineering doctoral candidate Ben Mattison has found the Translating Engineering Advances to Medicine Lab an invaluable resource for realizing his research that eyes new territory in microscopy.
The Translating Engineering Advances to Medicine Lab has contributed to a collaborative project to improve surgical procedures using augmented reality goggles.
New Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering Alba Alfonso García is fascinated by the power of photonics to clarify complex biological issues. As a UC Davis researcher, she innovates biophotonic imaging technologies and translates these advancements into tools for medical professionals.
Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering Yi Xue is the lead author of a paper that describes a new microscope system that enables rapid, clear and detailed tracking of living brain tissue.
The Translating Engineering Advances to Medicine (TEAM) Lab at UC Davis is a unit within the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the UC Davis College of Engineering. The lab designs and manufactures devices to support research and solve problems in human and veterinary health.
As part of UC Davis Global Affairs, Services for International Students and Scholars (SISS) is helping to build a campus community that includes students and scholars from over 100 countries and six continents. Each year, SISS serves more than 10,000 international students, faculty and researchers and their accompanying family members who come to UC Davis.
Biomedical engineering doctoral student Greg Wheeler explores how an emerging MRI technique can identify conditions like dementia earlier than ever before.
