Research at UC Davis Health
UC Davis Health is on the leading edge of a number of medical advancements because of the quality of our research, who we are and how we work together. Clinical research is welcomed with open arms in every corner of our organization. Much of our research is aimed at developing tools, treatments and therapies that will directly help patients.
For UC Davis Health, it’s not only about taking the lead – we also want to do our part to advance research in not just health and medicine, but also in the environment, artificial intelligence and robotics.
Major areas of research
Major areas of research include some of UC Davis Health's most innovative programs with research guidance and support offered by UC Davis School of Medicine, UC Davis Medical Center and Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing at UC Davis.
