Aidan Gilchrist, a new assistant professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, believes there is an equal need to increase the quality of life as there is to extend it through medical advancements. He researches how the tissues surrounding our cells may be the key to reversing and preventing aging.
The University of California, Davis, this week presented its 2023 Innovation Awards, with Distinguished Professor of Biomedical Engineering Simon Cherry receiving the Lifetime Achievement in Innovation award.
Julie Sutcliffe, professor of biomedical engineering and internal medicine at University of California, Davis, has been selected as the recipient of a $500,000 grant from the 2023 Mars Shot Fund the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, or SNMMI, announced June 7. The grant recognizes individuals who have made transformative impact in the field and elevated the value of nuclear medicine a
The power of a pill to alleviate a headache or fight against cancer is undeniable. Yet, there may be a more potent substance inside us waiting to be unlocked: extracellular vesicles, or EVs, a mixture of nanoparticles released by our cells to carry messages across the body.
The NHLBI offers the award as extended assistance on research programs to principal investigators who have proven their ability to make significant contributions in heart, lung, blood or sleep research.
Department Chair and Professor of Biomedical Engineering Steve George has been named the Edward Teller Chair for the University of California, Davis College of Engineering.
Extracellular vesicles, or EVs, are nanoparticles released by every known cell and relay important messages across the human body — but how they exactly function is not well understood. Professors at the University of California, Davis, seek to change that.
Much like a fresh set of eyes, a small pen-shaped device is showing surgeons a more accurate way to treat cancer and heart disease. The device uses new technology developed at UC Davis to scan and illuminate unhealthy tissue in real time so it can be removed.
Biomedical engineers at the University of California, Davis, have created semi-living “cyborg cells.” Retaining the capabilities of living cells, but unable to replicate, the cyborg cells could have a wide range of applications, from producing therapeutic drugs to cleaning up pollution.
