UC Davis engineers are developing noninvasive fetal monitoring technology that uses near-infrared light and machine learning to estimate fetal blood pH, with the goal of giving clinicians better information in the delivery room.
With only days to act, UC Davis engineer Michael Gardner went to Southern California to co-lead a team investigating Hurricane Marie’s shoreline damage. We spoke with Gardner about the team’s findings and what they may reveal ahead of what could be the strongest El Niño on record.
When researchers study cells, they are often unable to see the surrounding tissues, which means key information about health and disease goes unseen. UC Davis biomedical engineers have developed a new imaging technique that shows the full picture, aiming to provide unparalleled insights into cellular health.
UC Davis researchers are working with the dairy industry to transform cheese byproducts into biodegradable plastics for packaging and other products. The team aims to lower production costs, reduce processing waste and create new sources of revenue for dairy farmers.
The University of California, Davis will join other universities, trade groups and a leading global food company in a university-led collaborative agricultural research program that leverages the advanced capacities of American institutions to meet global challenges in coffee and cacao research.
The innovative technology developed by researchers at the UC Davis National Center for Interventional Biophotonic Technologies reveals coronary plaque structure and biochemistry in real time.
Biomedical engineers are investigating how cells know when to stick together and when to separate to allow wounds to heal, laying the groundwork for potential treatments for cancer and heart disease. The research is made possible by a more than $3 million award from the NIH.
Innovations in agricultural technology have brought many benefits but have also introduced vulnerabilities to cyberattacks. UC Davis computer scientists are part of a team that has outlined a path forward for agricultural cybersecurity in a paper published in Nature Food.
A soft actuator and flexible wings allow a butterfly-sized flying robot co-developed by UC Davis engineer Wenzhong Yan to recover from collisions and crushing, bringing resilient micro-aerial vehicles closer to operating outside the laboratory.
Cheemeng Tan, a professor of biomedical engineering, leads an interdisciplinary and multi-campus research team working on a method for room temperature storage of cellular therapies, aiming to make the life-saving potential of these therapies much more accessible and cheaper than ever before.
