A team composed of current Biomedical Engineering students and alumni won second in a Big Bang! Pitch & Poster Competition event for a device they created called “Chromatiscope.”
Biomedical device built by former UC Davis students and TEAM researchers takes advantage of single cell sensing and electroporation to deliver reagents into embryos in a fast, viable, and efficient manner.
First, a replica of your heart that a doctor can hold in her hands. Next, a living sensor inside your phone that detects nearby pollutants or pathogens. That’s TEAMwork. Their motto is “What can we help you make?”
UC Davis physician Gary Raff was treating a 19-month-old with a congenital heart defect this January when he realized he had reached a rare crossroads – he wasn’t sure what to do next. The girl had a complex constellation of arteries coming off her heart and only 1 1/4 ventricles rather than the usual two.
When UC Davis Pediatric Heart Center surgeons faced a complex patient case in January, they consulted with cardiologists, pediatric intensive care unit physicians, radiologists, and, for the first time, biomedical engineers.
The engineers added a new technology to the clinical care toolkit: a three-dimensional printer that could be used to create a model of the patient’s complex heart anatomy.
“El Soldado” is a monument at the State Capitol dedicated to all Hispanic/Latino service members. The TEAM Prototyping Facilities are working with the California Department of Veterans Affairs to repair and restore the memorial, which was first erected in 1951.
TEAM is part of national and UC Davis-wide trend aimed at reenergizing advanced manufacturing and improving United States’ competitiveness in the global economy.
The award-winning University of California, Davis (UC Davis) student chapter of the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) has come up with a unique way to give students hands-on experience implementing a solution to a real world problem: Make it a competition and make it fun!
Around 200 people attended the TEAM Design, Prototyping, and Fabrication Facilities Open House and Launch Party on Jan. 15.
After introductory remarks by TEAM Director and Biomedical Engineering Department Chair Kyriacos Athanasiou, several TEAM clients gave short presentations about their collaborations with TEAM.
