With new buildings come new traditions — at least, that's the challenge Randy Carney, assistant professor of biomedical engineering, gave himself when stepping into the Diane Bryant Engineering Student Design Center with a unique opportunity.
Leora Goldbloom-Helzner and Abby Niesen know that achieving career success takes more than desire and hard work; it also requires skills and preparation.
The two fifth-year Ph.D. candidates are developing both in spades, thanks to earning coveted spots in the 15-member cohort of the 2022-2023 UC Davis Professors for the Future Program, or PFTF.
The NHLBI offers the award as extended assistance on research programs to principal investigators who have proven their ability to make significant contributions in heart, lung, blood or sleep research.
The Graduate Research Fellowship Program is the oldest program of its kind that directly supports STEM graduate students in the United States, recognizing exceptional individuals who are pursuing research-based master’s and doctoral degrees.
Department Chair and Professor of Biomedical Engineering Steve George has been named the Edward Teller Chair for the University of California, Davis College of Engineering.
The Hiruma/Wagner Award celebrates early career researchers who provide outstanding presentations at the Peace Through Mind/Brain Science conference in Hamamatsu, Japan — an event that has sought to bring greater world peace through a deeper understanding of the human mind and brain chemistry since 1988.
"My interests took a path of their own," says Marcus Deloney, reflecting on what inspired his educational and career paths. The UC Davis graduate-turned-research scientist currently invests his time and considerable scientific skills helping others by researching new treatments for chronic illnesses.
Extracellular vesicles, or EVs, are nanoparticles released by every known cell and relay important messages across the human body — but how they exactly function is not well understood. Professors at the University of California, Davis, seek to change that.
I saw how instrumental engineering methods were to creating cost-effective, novel scientific studies and wanted to apply those methods to my own research. I had an amazing experience at UC Davis as an undergraduate anthropology major, so I knew I wanted to return to Davis for my doctoral program.
I was inspired to study engineering by my high school calculus teacher, who recognized my knack for problem-solving and suggested I look into the field when applying to colleges. I was also very interested in medicine and pharmacology, which led me to apply for biomedical engineering (BME) programs to get a blend of the engineering mindset with the medical aspects and applications.
