Congresswoman Doris Matsui and UC researchers on Thursday announced a $600,000 federal grant for University of California Davis to speed the route between medical research and commercialization.
The Partnerships for Innovation Program grant from the National Science Foundation is intended to encourage collaboration between scientists, educators, students, community and business leaders to develop new medical technologies that advance health care and stimulate the local economy.
Local research with commercial potential includes a biological “bandage” — a wound dressing made from stem cells that could improve health from burns and chronic ulcers.
