Love this 3-D printed plaque from UC Davis BME that they give to their speakers! Thanks @TanLabUCD for the invite. It was such a pleasure to learn about the innovative research from all the faculty and students. I had a lot of great discussions and came back with new ideas.

This beautiful cover represents cyborg cells, semi-living entities made of a polymer matrix inside bacteria.
Cyborg cells preserve essential cell functions while gaining new abilities to resist stressors.

We were ranked No. 1 in the nation for veterinary science and agriculture and forestry – and No. 2 in the world for both as well – by QS World University Rankings! We were also ranked as the No. 11 public university and No. 28 among all U.S. universities. ucdav.is/3FRnySB

With the MPI @NIBIBgov R01 grant support, we are excited to expand our collaboration between our labs @carney_lab @TanLabUCD @AijunWangLab to answer some of the most challenging questions in the field and to advance our knowledge on extracellular vesicle biology and application
To better understand their inner workings and medical applications, @TanLabUCD, @AijunWangLab and @carney_lab will build extracellular vesicles like Legos in a new research project funded by @NIBIBgov.
