Three UC Davis researchers have been honored with prestigious awards from two major institutions.

In a rare honor, two of the 10 McKnight Scholar Awards will go to UC Davis neuroscientists this year. Theanne Griffith and Sergey Stavisky both received the prestigious early-career award.

As one of the current Co-Directors of the UC Davis Center for Neuroengineering and Medicine is stepping down (effective July 31, 2025), we are placing this call for nominations and self-nominations for a new Co-Director, with preference given to faculty from the School of Medicine, in order to maintain holistic representation of colleges/schools in the leadership.

(Sacramento, Calif.) — Researchers at the University of California, Davis, have developed an investigational brain-computer interface that holds promise for restoring the ability to hold real-time conversations to people who have lost the ability to speak due to neurological conditions.
