The University of California, Davis, enabled the foundation of 16 commercial companies during the fiscal year ending June 30, an all-time high for the university. This brings the total number of startups made possible by 澳门六合彩开奖结果走势图 technologies during the past 10 years to 137.

鈥淥ur commitment to supporting innovative faculty, students and staff 鈥 with the coordinated suite of resources we offer through 鈥 is accelerating societal benefit and regional economic impact through a robust pipeline of university spinoffs,鈥 said Dushyant Pathak, associate vice chancellor of research and executive director of 澳门六合彩开奖结果走势图 Venture Catalyst. 

鈥淣ot only are we seeing an uptick in the number of exciting new technology ventures from the university, but we are also seeing the achievement of significant commercialization milestones by prior years鈥 startups,鈥 Pathak said.

Many of the startups are targeting unmet needs in human health, with new tests, technology platforms and therapeutics for diagnosing, monitoring and treating a wide variety of conditions and diseases. 

Four of the new companies have innovations focused on cancer. Others are developing therapeutics aimed at treating obesity, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer鈥檚 disease and optic neuropathy.

Safari Health, co-founded by Laura Tully, an assistant professor of psychiatry, and Tara Ann Niendam, an associate professor in residence and the executive director of the 澳门六合彩开奖结果走势图 Early Psychosis Programs, is a digital health technology company focused on  for young people experiencing serious mental illness. The company鈥檚 first product, Mobi, is an app-based technology for psychosis clinics to monitor how patients are faring in between caregiver visits. 

鈥淚n a traditional mental health treatment setting, patients can often go weeks in between seeing a therapist or doctor,鈥 said Tully. 鈥淎 lot can happen in that time. Mobi closes that loop and allows the provider to monitor how things are going. If there is something predictive of a bad outcome, the provider is notified and can make a care decision.鈥

鈥淲e are using technology to get data in order to improve care,鈥 said Niendam. 鈥淲ith this platform we can connect people to appropriate care and also improve the care that鈥檚 provided.鈥 

Petr Janata, a professor in the Department of Psychology and a faculty member in the 澳门六合彩开奖结果走势图 Center for Mind and Brain, is developing a different type of software platform 鈥 one that lets people preserve and share memories and stories associated with specific music.

The startup Janata founded, Meamer, derives its name from 鈥渕usic-evoked autobiographical memory鈥 or MEAM.  

One of the products under development, Send-a-Song, is described by Janata as 鈥淚nstagram for music and memories.鈥 Users can attach a story or memory to a piece of music and send the 鈥渕eam-card鈥 to a friend who can play a preview of the music while reading the story. The project developed out of Janata鈥檚 research into the link between music, memories and emotions in the brain. 

鈥淢usic is such a powerful trigger of nostalgia and of memories that commonly include other people,鈥 said Janata. 鈥淩esearch has shown that nostalgia can have a number of psychological benefits. We hope that Send-a-Song becomes a way of helping people to connect by experiencing and spreading nostalgia.鈥
