From bioengineering and medical device development, the next chapter of UC Davis' innovation story is set to unfold at Aggie Square. Here is a look at three innovative teams and programs connected to the College of Engineering that are getting ready to call it home.
The Cube³ Lab, part of the Department of Biomedical Engineering, has developed a new course for first-year students to build community as they learn about and find solutions to the issues women face in engineering.
The annual UC Davis event, hosted by the Biomedical Engineering Society and the Translating Engineering Advances to Medicine Lab, allows undergraduates to apply their engineering skills and receive hands-on experience in product design and prototyping.
The Quarter at Aggie Square Biomedical Engineering cohort wrapped up their 10-week experience with a presentation of three medical prototypes for growth-accommodating heart valves, noninvasive glucose monitors and stroke-detection devices. The students chose the concepts to solve complex health challenges they encountered.
Bruce Tromberg, director of the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering, was the guest speaker for the 15th annual Maroney-Bryan Lecture in the Department of Biomedical Engineering. He discussed medical and engineering partnerships and the bright future for next-level engineering solutions in healthcare, particularly at UC Davis.
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 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.
Through collaborations with colleagues, Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering Anthony Passerini has worked to refine the undergraduate curriculum so that students receive the requisite knowledge and experience to succeed in future academic and industry settings.
Professor of Biomedical Engineering Jinyi Qi receives the Edward J. Hoffman Award for his advancements in molecular imaging and is celebrated for his contributions to this year’s “Image of the Year” from the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging.
Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering Yi Xue is the lead author of a paper that describes a new microscope system that enables rapid, clear and detailed tracking of living brain tissue.
