The University of California Davis Center for Comparative Medicine (CCM) is a cooperative, interdisciplinary research and teaching center that is co-sponsored by the School of Medicine and the School of Veterinary Medicine. CCM Faculty members have academic appointments in one or both Schools. The CCM Research Mission is to investigate the pathogenesis of human and animal disease, using animal models or naturally occurring animal diseases. Areas of emphasis include host-agent interactions during infectious disease, intervention and prevention strategies for infectious diseases, cancer, and mouse biology. CCM faculty contribute a broad range of expertise to these areas, including the disciplines of immunology, genomics, pathology, biochemistry, physiology, microbiology, molecular virology, and informatics. Through its robust and interdisciplinary research programs, the CCM provides a rich academic environment for teaching at the professional, graduate, and post-graduate levels within the School of Medicine and School of Veterinary Medicine. Opportunities are available for professional students from both schools to gain research experience. PhD candidates can pursue training opportunities in the CCMs faculty-sponsored research laboratories, with support from a number of training grants. This diverse research environment is intended to attract and train high-quality candidates to the disciplines of comparative medicine, independent and collaborative research, and mouse biology. Sponsors: CCM is supported by UC Davis.

http://www.chemnavigator.com/cnc/services/SCSORS_Overview.asp

ChemNavigator has extended its agreement with NCI to include the development of a new Semi-Custom Synthesis On-line Request System (SCSORS), funded mostly by NCI with additional financial support from the NIH Chemical Genomics Center (NCGC). The new SCSORS project will provide the NIH access to the world''s supply of synthetic chemistry available for drug discovery. Once fully formed, SCSORS will provide a strategy for all NIH scientists to circulate requests for specific chemical samples among thousands, if not tens of thousands, of synthetic chemists at suppliers registered in the system. Sample quantities will range from milligram up to kilogram scale requests. Suppliers will be provided tools that allow them to review these requests and make proposals to NIH scientists for the synthesis of substances. It is expected that using the SCSORS strategy will allow the NIH to acquire chemical samples at less than 10% of the internal cost of synthesis while offering access to world wide chemical expertise and diversity. Once fully implemented, SCSORS will become an archive of commercially accessible custom chemistry products for pharmaceutical research. It is expected that this database of commercially accessible substances will grow to over 250 million substances in the coming two years.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 13, 2026. Computationally oriented experimental laboratory interested in the encoding of auditory information in the cerebral cortex and brainstem, and in the mechanisms of tinnitus and the effect of various drugs (Lidocaine, steroids, anti-oxidants) in relieving noise trauma induced tinnitus. The ferret (Mustela putorius) and the rat serve as their system model. Through chronic implants, they obtain electrophysiological data from awake behaving animals in order to investigate the response properties and functional organization of the auditory system, both in health and after noise trauma that induces tinnitus in rats. Projects: * Response Modulation to Ongoing Broadband Sounds in Primary Auditory Cortex * Neuronal Response Characteristics in the Inferior Colliculus of the Awake Ferret and Rat * Spectro-Temporal Representation of Feature Onsets in Primary Auditory Cortex * Targeting the changes in inferior colliculus induced by tinnitus

The lab of Arthur Prochazka, whose research focuses on routing electrical current from surface electrodes to deep-lying nerves using implanted conductors. His research mostly focuses on muscle physiology. Current fields of research: * Stimulus Router System: A new family of implanted neuroprostheses. It comprises an implanted lead that picks up some of the current delivered through the skin by a surface stimulator and delivers it to a target nerve via a nerve cuff. The SRS has the advantages of an implanted stimulator: selectivity, reproducibility and convenience, at a fraction of the cost * Bionic Glove: Hand opening and closing stimulator for C5-C6 tetraplegic people. It is based on Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES). * In-home Telerehabilitation: Providing exercise sessions over the internet. * Interactive Receptor Model: An online model explaining muscle spindles and tendon organs. * Spinal Motoneuron Activity During Gait * Robocats: Mathematical models for locomotion. * Rigidity Analyzer: A better means of assessing rigidity. * General Research: Fundamental questions in our field of neurophysiology. * Spinal Cord Microstimulation: Restoring bladder function after spinal cord injury.
