Take Advantage of the 1st Class ResearchTraining Available at UC Davis!
Research Experiences at UCD
Undergraduate Research Center
Internship & Career Center
Take the initiative! Search the campus website foran interesting lab and email the professor to askabout research project possibilities
While at UCD, build the skill sets needed to:Work effectively as the member of a teamPrecisely handle lab equipment and gather dataCarefully analyze and solve problems, based on known facts or dataClearly communicate the results of your work (written and verbal)

Industrial Biotechnology
Molecules produced viabiomanufacturing include:
Pharmaceuticals for the treatment ofmany diseases and disorders(Genentech, Novartis, Amgen, manyothersvisit www.baybio.org for a list ofthe local biotech pharma companies)
Enzymes for the production of cheese,bread, detergents, textiles, plastics,etc (Novozymes)
Antibodies used in vaccines, medicaldiagnostics, molecular biology research,biosensors, etc
Useful proteins or biomolecules may be produced on an industrial scale bymaking
transgenic cells (bacteria, fungi, CHO cells, plant or algal cell cultures), followedby large scale fermentation and biomoleculecollectionaka Biomanufacturing

Biotech Scientists Use Interdisciplinary Skills(molecular biology, chemical engineering, computer science, etc..)
to Address Many Types of Questions
Biofuels & Bioenergy
Can we design transgenic plants andmicroorganisms to produce inexpensive,renewable sources of fuel and energy?
Stem Cells & Tissue Engineering
Can we use embryonic stem cells or
reprogrammed adult stem cells toregenerate all tissues of the humanbody?
Can we develop imaging systems totrack stem cells in the human body?
Can we program stem cells to stop
dividing once tissue is repaired?
Bioremediation
Can we use transgenic plants andmicroorganisms to efficiently removetoxins from soil and water?
Genomics, Proteomics & Bioinformatics
Can we identify DNA sequence
variations in the Human Genome thatcorrelate to specific diseases and othertraits?
Can we use the genome sequences ofpathogenic microorganisms and virusesto help us design more effective drugtreatments and vaccines?
