Thrilled to host former lab mate and long time collaborator Brooks Lab as the first Translational Data Science Visiting Scholar Fred Hutch Cancer Center! We are working on isoform discovery and functional characterization in lung cancer - it will be great to work face to face this month!


Advances in biotechnology are transforming everything from healthcare to agriculture, but high costs create significant barriers for biotech education. A new article in Trends in Biotechnology highlights tech that promises to broaden access to hands-on learning: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…



A $12.3 million California Institute for Regenerative Medicine award will support #UCSC, UC San Francisco & UC Berkeley scientists to research genetic underpinnings of autism, using brain organoids. UCSC team includes Braingeneers Sophie Salama, Mohammed Mostajo-Radji, Mircea Teodorescu, & David Haussler. bit.ly/3Z7eqU5

🧠🧩 Our Braingeneers at UC Santa Cruz UC San Francisco and UC Berkeley are embarking on a new study of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) using brain organoids (models of brain tissue grown from stem cells) to better understand its genetic underpinnings. 🧬 Read more: bit.ly/3Z7eqU5

Excited to be in Boston for the Nanopore Community Meeting! For anyone interested in #RNA liquid biopsy technology for #cancer early detection using Oxford Nanopore sequencing, please check out my recent webinar & also happy to chat at NCM Boston! #nanoporeconf

Genome sequencing is faster and cheaper than ever – but obstacles to broad adoption remain. Join Google’s genomics lead Andrew Carroll & UC Santa Cruz Genomics Institute’ @BenedictPaten for a live-streamed discussion on genomic analysis and equity: goo.gle/3ZmPyYO



Good to see ACS Research Scholar Daniel Kim at San Francisco Discovery Gala 2024. Bay Area fundraising to fuel the fight against cancer. Be Bold. Be the Breakthrough. American Cancer Society


We wouldn’t be here without our Director & President, Dr. David Haussler who is also the Scientific Director, UC Santa Cruz's Genomincs Institute in the Baskin Engineering at UCSC School. Many in the #genetics & #biotechnology fields may be familiar with David’s contributions... (to be cont.)



Several presentations at #RNAcanadaARN on repetitive sequences being expressed, notably in disease-associated extracellular vesicles/exosomes, including another ripper talk by Daniel Kim Watch this space!

Exciting news! UC Santa Cruz Genomics Institute has awarded grants of up to $50,000 to six multidisciplinary research projects in the inaugural year of its seed funding program — addressing human disease, species conservation, tool development and more. Read on: bit.ly/4hcDm3i

🧪Daniel Kim talks about advancing RNA liquid biopsy technology for cancer early detection, mentioning the OCCAMS study 👉 Oesophageal Cancer Clinical and Molecular Stratification. #EDxConf24 | Daniel Kim | UC Santa Cruz | (AB)

💡 Daniel Kim (Daniel Kim) presented his lab’s exciting work on harnessing RNA liquid biopsy for early cancer detection 🧬 collaborating with the labs of Utkan Demirci and Rebecca Fitzgerald Lab. Recently, they identified novel annotated RNA transcripts, demonstrating how their


Did you see our #liquidbiopsy webinar series? Join us next week to move beyond theory into practical advice, guided by 9 expert speakers e.g. @antoniagage, Matthew Murray, Alastair Greystoke, Stefania Crucitta,Daniel Kim & Shervin Tabrizi, MD. Register Now! hubs.la/Q02VCLTf0

Later on today we'll be hearing from 3 liquid biopsy researchers as they portray the latest research in detectable #biomarkers. Daniel Kim will be presenting a valuable session on RNA #liquidbiopsy technology and nanopore sequencing. Register here - hubs.la/Q02VCLVm0
