Using an approach based on computer vision technology, researchers can work back from COVID-19 mortality data to see how infection rates changed on the day a lockdown or similar measure was introduced. The approach could be generally useful in future epidemics and pandemics.
Initial results of a unique, multi-disciplinary public scholarship partnership between UC Davis researchers and Shriners Children's Northern California to create better prosthetic options for children are "unexpected and amazing."
PLASMA is a competitive, twelve-week program for students to grow their technology startups at the University of California, Davis. Biomedical engineering undergraduates made up the majority of its 2023 cohort, with one of their teams winning second place for its business idea.
Wearable technology is advancing the human body’s potential through non-invasive augmentation of our abilities, from enabling us to communicate with devices with facial gestures to keeping track of our vital signs. Here are four intelligent wearables woven into reality by researchers in the College of Engineering.
With parts more than 1,000 times smaller than a penny, professors in the Departments of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Biomedical Engineering collaborate on a device that uses infrared absorptive spectroscopy to identify cancer molecules from drops of saliva.
The power of a pill to alleviate a headache or fight against cancer is undeniable. Yet, there may be a more potent substance inside us waiting to be unlocked: extracellular vesicles, or EVs, a mixture of nanoparticles released by our cells to carry messages across the body.
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.
