At UC Davis, Celina Juliano studies Hydra, a tiny freshwater animal with the remarkable ability to regrow its entire body. Supported by NIH-funding, Juliano’s lab explores the genes behind Hydra’s regeneration and cancer resistance.
Headshot of Celina Juliano against a dark blue background with white text that reads, "From Labs to Lives: How Research Funding Solves Real World Problems" and her quote, "Losing our lab would mean losing a hub of expertise and critical infrastructure. We maintain the community resources, publish foundational data and we drive progress. Without us, that momentum would be lost and so would the opportunity to unlock Hydra’s secrets and apply them to human health."
