UC Davis is a highly collaborative, interdisciplinary environment in which to conduct research.


We have a highly productive group of biomedical mechanistic scientists and the largest specialty training program in Veterinary Medicine. In addition, we have multiple major biomedical research programs, a collegial environment, diverse multidisciplinary opportunities, superb clinical training and most importantly dedicated mentors and instructors.

Our campus-wide integrated graduate school program fosters interactions between scientists and students across different research disciplines. This in part provides the diversity of opportunities that characterize UC Davis.

The physical proximity and collaborations between the School of Veterinary Medicine faculty and members of the College of Biological Sciences, the School of Medicine, and the College of Engineering, as well as College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences provides a unique environment.
