UC Davis Medical Center is the only designated Special Pathogen Treatment Center in CA north of Los Angeles County. The team has the special equipment, training and facilities to care for people with risk of special pathogens, including the highly contagious Ebola and Marburg virus disease.
"In order to be able to provide this level of care to potential future patients, it really requires a lot of preparation. We have an amazing staff here at UC Davis that is committed to this level of patient care," said Dr. Angel Desai, associate professor of Infectious Diseases.
A new study shows that a person with severe ALS paralysis can use a brain-computer interface to communicate. The findings, published in Nature Medicine, mark an important step toward real-world tools for people with severe speech and movement challenges. health.ucdavis.edu/news/headlin...

Our researchers are working on a potential new solution to treat neuropathic bladders of children with spina bifida or spinal cord injuries by using grafts designed to grow their own blood supply. Learn more about the $4 million NIH grant: health.ucdavis.edu/news/headlin...
A new study by our researchers and Kaiser Permanente found that higher exposure to very small air pollution particles over 17 years was associated with lower semantic memory. Semantic memory acts like the brain’s “encyclopedia” for things like facts and words. health.ucdavis.edu/news/headlin...
A new UC Davis study, published in the journal Nature Medicine, shows a brain-computer interface system allows man living with ALS to ‘speak’ clearly, unassisted for a prolonged period.
The multi-year initiative is a collaboration between Associate Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine Brittany Dugger and Child Family Professor in Engineering Chen-Nee Chuah.

A UC Davis pediatric urologist and bioengineer are developing grafts designed to grow their own blood supply.
A new study finds higher long-term exposure to fine air pollution (PM2.5) is linked to lower semantic memory — the type of memory used for facts, words and general knowledge.
