#FromLabstoLives #UCDavis
The UC Davis Office of Strategic Communications launched #FromLabstoLives in February 2025 in partnership with the Office of Research and Government and Community Relations. The campaign features testimonials from researchers and people who have benefited from their work: https://ucdav.is/3ZRGI4p
A view from inside a large circular medical or research device shows two people standing outside it, looking into the opening. On the left side of the image, bold white text reads “Real Research. Real People. Real Impact.” Below the text is a blue square graphic with the words “From Labs to Lives,” alongside the UC Davis logo.
A year after its launch, the "From Labs to Lives" campaign is spotlighting the researchers who are working to improve lives through their work across @ucdavis.bsky.social and UC Davis Health. Image: A view from inside a PET scan shows two people. Text reads “Real Research. Real People. Real Impact.”
The 2026 UC Davis Medal will be awarded to Robert and Kathleen Grey. They dedicated their lives and careers to the university and community for nearly 6 decades, playing an integral role in the university’s transformation into the world-class research institution it is today https://ucdav.is/3OyxEyX

Headshot of Laura Marcu against a dark blue background with white text that reads, "Losing federal funding wouldn’t just slow down research. It will disrupt the entire pipeline from discovery to clinical impact" and the From Labs to Lives logo.
Prof. Laura Marcu leads federally funded research in biophotonics, where light is used to better diagnose and treat disease. A key focus of her work is Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging, or FLIM, a technology that detects subtle molecular changes in tissue without dyes and in real time.

Two students wear face masks and look at an insect in one of their hands.
Celebrate 15 years of Biodiversity Museum Day on Saturday, 2/21. Connect with UC Davis scientists and experts, participate in dynamic exhibits, and get an up-close look at amazing animals, fascinating plants, and the wonders of our natural world: ucdav.is/3ZmLOoZ
After a slow start in early spring, male frogs pick up the pace of their love songs as the weather warms. Lady frogs not only find "hotter" songs more attractive, it signals the temperature is right for laying their eggs, finds new @ucdavis.bsky.social study. ❤️🎵 www.ucdavis.edu/climate/news...

Peter James studies how the places we live, work and play shape our health. His federally funded research combines satellite imagery, street-level images, smartphone data and health records to understand how heat, air pollution, trees and neighborhood design affect brain and heart health.
We achieved eligibility as a Black-Serving Institution. UC Davis ranked No. 1 in sustainability for the tenth year in a row and ascended to the No. 2 ranking for a public university for setting students up for financial success by the @wsj.com. Read more in the 2025 annual report: ucdav.is/3Mh22x0
In 2025, we were reminded of the value of UC Davis and its profound impact on lives. Our commitment to research, teaching and public service continued to drive progress and create opportunities for the next generation of leaders, scientists, engineers, athletes, artists, doctors and veterinarians.
Without continued federal funding, this progress would stop. The hands-on work needed to turn ideas into working technology would disappear and the United States would fall behind countries investing heavily in quantum research. Learn more about Radulaski's NSF-funded research, visit ucdav.is/FLTL.
Headshot of Marina Radulaski against a dark blue background with white text that reads, "Without federal funding support, we would be limited to only theoretical studies instead of building tangible quantum technologies" and the From Labs to Lives logo.
Prof. Marina Radulaski is working to build the future of the quantum internet. Her research creates tiny devices in silicon carbide that can connect quantum computers and sensors which could help discover new medicines, design safer materials and create stronger digital security systems.
Ever wonder why mosquitoes seem to bite some people more than others?
UC Davis neurobiologist Lisa Baik explains how taste, skin chemistry, and environmental cues influence mosquito behavior — and how new research could lead to safer, more effective repellents.
