University of California, Davis, hit an all-time high for external research funding for fiscal year 2014-15, receiving $786 million. The total represents an 11.5 percent increase from the previous year and a surge in support from the federal government by 13.4 percent year-over-year. “This great achievement is a testament to our researchers who have expertise […]
By Andy Fell October 21, 2015 The University of California, Davis, continues to foster discovery and innovation, enabling 13 startup companies in the last fiscal year. The university provides support for campus entrepreneurs in a number of ways, including facilitating intellectual property agreements and licensing inventions. Each startup is commercializing products or services that were […]
By Jocelyn Anderson A research team at UC Davis is set to build the world’s first total-body positron emission tomography (PET) scanner — one that could fundamentally change the way cancers and other diseases are diagnosed and treated with the added benefit of a reduced radiation dose that is roughly equivalent to that received on […]
The University of California, Davis, continues to foster discovery and innovation, enabling 13 startup companies in the last fiscal year. The university provides support for campus entrepreneurs in a number of ways, including facilitating intellectual property agreements and licensing inventions. Each startup is commercializing products or services that were seminally developed at UC Davis. Over […]
We are pleased to provide the UC Davis research community with a new software solution to simplify the process of preparing and submitting grant proposals through Grants.gov. The Office of Research has recently partnered with Evisions to bring Cayuse 424 to UC Davis. The Cayuse system is entirely web-based and provides system-to-system proposal submission to […]
By Jocelyn Anderson UC Davis researchers are exploring novel immunotherapy strategies with the goal of developing targeted treatment for cancer patients. Cancer immunotherapy — harnessing the innate powers of the patient’s own immune system to fight the disease — dates back to as early as the 1890s, when one doctor discovered that bacterial infections could […]
University of California, Davis, is helping researchers with innovative technologies bridge the gap between research and commercialization. The UC Davis Science Translation and Innovative Research grant program provides funding for proof-of-concept research and development work aimed at demonstrating commercial feasibility of university-generated technology. Now in its second year, the STAIR program is one way UC […]
