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.
Using total-body PET imaging to get a better understanding of long COVID disease is the goal of a new project at the University of California, Davis, in collaboration with UC San Francisco. The project is funded by a grant of $3.2 million over four years from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health.
