Assoc. Prof. of Electrical & Computer Engineering at @UCSC_BSOE. University of California NanoEngineering Lab | Neurophotonics, Global Health, Nanophotonics

Santa Cruz, California
Joined September 2019
According to #BaskinEngineering Prof Ali A Yanik (@Yanik_Lab), taking a system-on-a-nanoparticle approach to brain-computer interfaces could “greatly enhance” the precision of neural communication. bit.ly/4hsuQMh - via @MedicalTechMag.

Truly complete and unprecedented: Accurate human genome sequencing is now accessible to researchers worldwide through the #UCSC @GenomeBrowser and will be pivotal in advancing the understanding and treatment of genetic diseases. #BaskinEngineering @UCSCGenomics @BaskinEng
Scientists in the Telomere-to-Telomere (#T2T) consortium have published the first complete, gapless human genome sequence. This can lead to a better understanding of our genomic variations and provide insight for missing heritability and human disease. genome.gov/T2T
