Cheemeng Tan and Sean Collins, associate professors at UC Davis, are part of a national effort to develop a novel device for inflammatory bowel disease. The technology will function like a pharmacy inside the body, producing and releasing engineered cells as a real-time response to flare-ups.
Fifth-year biomedical engineering doctoral candidate Ben Mattison has found the Translating Engineering Advances to Medicine Lab an invaluable resource for realizing his research that eyes new territory in microscopy.
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.
Connecting the people in the department and building community within the Department of Biomedical Engineering. Lab tours, refreshments, student organizations and research showcases.
Kittens and engineering may seem like an unsuitable pair, but a recent collaboration between a professor of veterinary medicine and the Translating Engineering Advances to Medicine Lab at UC Davis proves otherwise.
The Translating Engineering Advances to Medicine Lab has contributed to a collaborative project to improve surgical procedures using augmented reality goggles.
Abigail Humphries is working on a National Institutes of Health-funded project to improve health outcomes of spina bifida at the University of California, Davis — where she was treated for the condition as a newborn over twenty years ago.
The UC Davis Department of Biomedical Engineering is launching a new nine-month master's degree program in medical device development at Aggie Square, the expansive innovation district the university will open in Sacramento in 2025.
