Faculty and staff in the college’s eight graduate groups, including Stefano Morotti from the Biophysics Graduate Group, were among this year’s recipients of mentorship and service awards by Graduate Studies.
I’m superstitious. Black cats, ladders, dropped dishtowels, the whole nine yards. I realize I probably shouldn’t admit this to an audience of science-minded people, but it’s relevant here—stick with me. Another thing I probably shouldn’t admit is, when we announced our new NGRA Fellowship, we weren’t sure what kind of response we’d get. Privately, I thought maybe we’d receive two or three applications…five tops. So, when we ended up with 13 (!), I was both thrilled and unnerved!
A team of UC Davis Health scientists has developed a new predictive model that translates cardiac research findings across different animal species into human-specific insights. This model could help accelerate the drug development process, leading to new therapies for heart diseases, such as irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia).

Need things to do to while access to research labs is restricted? Check out the Aggie Tutorial Farm, an interdisciplinary tutorial resource curated by the UC Davis College of Biological Sciences, created by Bruce Draper, Jodi Nunnari, Lauren Anderson, Andrew Wood, and Hemang Patel.
UC Davis researchers have been awarded $1.5 million from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for the first part of a project to develop a novel approach to deliver genome editing machinery to genes responsible for a rare form of familial cancer. [Read More]
