Resources for researchers — services, facilities and programs — will be showcased during the annual Research Expo the first week of April. The sponsoring Office of Research has selected “Pathways to Impact” as this year’s theme, and, along that line, the program will include a panel discussion on “Maximizing Your Impact.”

The expo, also including research exhibits and three concurrent workshops, is for faculty, post-docs, staff, research administrators and students involved in research. Admission is free, lunch is provided — and sign-ups are underway (see registration link in box).

The expo will begin with the panel discussion 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., moderated by Cameron Carter, interim vice chancellor, Office of Research. The panelists: Ralph J. Hexter, provost and executive vice chancellor; Raissa D'Souza, professor, computer science, and mechanical and aerospace engineering; Kent Lloyd, associate director, Comprehensive Cancer Center; Jonna Mazet, director, One Health Institute; John Morrison, director, California National Primate Research Center; and Jan Nolta, director, Stem Cell Program.

Exhibit time (with lunch) is scheduled from 12:30 to 2 p.m. More than 40 units from across the Davis and Sacramento campuses are participating in the expo, along with the several programs within the Office of Research, among them: Corporate Relations, InnovationAccess, Institutional Review Board Administration, Interdisciplinary Research Support, Research Compliance and Integrity, Research Core Facilities and Venture Catalyst.
