Julie L. Sutcliffe, co-director for the UC Davis Center of Molecular and Genomic Imaging and a professor of medicine and biomedical engineering, will lead a team advancing cancer research through the development of special imaging tools capable of detecting cancerous cells in the pancreas.
Ramsey Badawi, one of the co-inventors of the world’s first total-body PET Scanner, has earned the highest honor from IEEE, bestowed upon fewer than 0.1% of its members each year.
Biomedical engineers at UC Davis have developed a platform to isolate the surface proteins of extracellular vesicles, the body’s biological messaging system. This research is a significant step toward building tools that transform extracellular vesicles into next-generation drugs for cancer and other diseases.
The UC Davis biomedical engineering professor has received the IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society’s annual award for outstanding innovation and research contributions in medical imaging science. It is considered one of the highest honors in the field.
How does skin hold you in? How do heart cells beat together? Researchers at the University of California, Davis, Department of Biomedical Engineering, are exploring how structures called desmosomes, which stick cells together, function and react to mechanical stress.
High school students from the Capital region will be invited to explore biotechnology, AI and precision manufacturing through hands-on learning experiences at UC Davis in a program led by Professor of Biomedical Engineering Marc Facciotti.
The nine-month degree, part of the UC Davis Department of Biomedical Engineering, combines courses in engineering and design with entrepreneurship and leadership, offering experience equivalent to five to seven years in the medical device industry.
Matthew Paszek, a new professor of biomedical engineering at UC Davis, researches at the forefront of glycoscience, a developing field that explores glycan, the sugary third chain of life. Paszek’s research has shown that glycan is a major contributor to the development of aggressive forms of cancer.
Professor of Biomedical Engineering Aijun Wang heads a cross-disciplinary team from UC Davis Health, the MIND Institute and UC Berkeley’s Murthy Lab to design and test a potential cure for Dup15q syndrome, a condition linked to autism, epilepsy and severe intellectual disability.
The Erlangen Graduate School in Advanced Optical Technologies, or SAOT, has honored Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering Alba Alfonso García for her outstanding research record in optics, photonics and optical technologies.
