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.
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.
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.
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.
Michael Savageau is a distinguished professor emeritus in the Departments of Biomedical Engineering, Microbiology and Molecular Genetics. His work examines the function, design and evolution of cellular and molecular networks. Savageau helped pioneer quantitative systems biology, where he characterized the design principles for gene circuits that impact cellular behavior.
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 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.
