Neuroengineering at UC Davis

Welcome to the UC Davis Center for Neuroengineering & Medicine!

Repair - Restore - Augment Human Capacity to Benefit Society

About Neuroengineering at UC Davis

UC Davis is one of few universities in the nation that houses a College of Engineering, School of Medicine, School of Veterinary Medicine, Neuroscience programs (including the Neuroscience Graduate Program, the Center for Neuroscience, the Center for Mind & Brain, and the M.I.N.D. Institute), as well as a National Primate Research Center (one of only seven centers supported by NIH nationwide).

Mission: The Center for Neuroengineering & Medicine promotes neurological health and extends human capacity, through research, stakeholder engagement, and education into discovery and translation of systems that interface with the brain and the body, to benefit society.
