Every living organism, from bacteria to redwoods and humans, contains DNA as its primary genetic material. DNA directs all the cellular processes creating the great diversity of life that fills the biosphere. The integrated, multidisciplinary field of biotechnology represents new advances in understanding and controlling these life processes through the development of exciting new technologies.
The designated emphasis in Biotechnology provides a very effective multidisciplinary biotechnology concentration, which includes exposure to bioethics, business and legal aspects of biotechnology as well as a 3-6 month internship in a biotechnology company or research laboratory in another college or national laboratory. Dr. Kjelstrom, the Program Coordinator assists the.

Pioneers in Veterinary Genetics. Genetics testing and research are vibrant, cutting-edge components of the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. Genes, environment, and their interaction play critical roles in animal health and disease, and our scientists are continuously breaking new ground and deepening our understanding of the animal world through advancements in this exciting field.
My Ph.D. dissertation published as Biotechnology: The University-Industry Complex (Yale 1986) examined how the new biotechnological knowledge developed in research universities was commercialized by small research-driven university spin-offs funded by venture capitalists. My study of the biotechnology industry resulted in my continuing studies of four inter-related topics.
Research Mission Our research centers on the microbial ecology and genomics the lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and bifidobacteria. A general goal is to investigate linkage between genome content, ecological context,and specific strain behavior that enables a more comprehensive understanding of LAB biology in their “working” environments. Teaching Mission To advance critical thinking on topics.
Academic Departments The College of Biological Sciences is one of three colleges in the nation dedicated solely to the study of life sciences. Our five academic departments provide advanced facilities, research opportunities and real-world experiences to prepare students for a 21st-century career.
Seed Enhancement Seed enhancement refers to various technologies used to increase the consistency of seed performance, thereby improving a crop’s harvested yield and quality. Seed enhancement technologies are gaining increasing attention for their potential to confer greater disease resistance in seeds, improve seed vigor and modify seed emergence capabilities.
