Members of the scientific staff – representing a variety of disciplines including cell and developmental biology, genetics, psychology, physiology, reproductive biology, virology, and immunology – typically hold joint appointments in academic departments in Schools (e.g., Medicine and Veterinary Medicine) and Colleges (e.g., Engineering, Letters and Science) on the UC Davis campus. Collaborative investigators also work with Staff Scientists and conduct specific research projects in their area of interest and benefit from the extensive expertise of the scientific staff.
