Improving cancer diagnosis 💡 #BaskinEngineering Assistant Prof. Daniel Kim developed a new RNA liquid biopsy test which can improve the diagnosis of early-stage cancers, as seen in Technology Networks. Learn more: bit.ly/3UGmn0a Daniel Kim

DNA-based liquid biopsies often miss the early signs of cancer which is why UC Santa Cruz Daniel Kim seeks to improve the diagnosis of early-stage cancers by creating a highly sensitive and specific RNA liquid biopsy test. Read more about Kim's work here: technologynetworks.com/diagnostics/ar…

Distinguishing cells from their background is extremely time-consuming for humans, but UC Santa Cruz researcher Ali Shariati علی شریعتی has developed an image generation AI model that can create the synthetic data needed to train AI to do this task more efficiently: news.ucsc.edu/2024/04/sharia…

A new era of genomics is here 🧬 Complete #T2T human genome sequences have filled gaps in genomes, while pangenomes capture genetic diversity across populations.

Just one week away 🎉 Come out at join us at Baskin Engineering at UCSC for #DNAday on April 26th, 11-1 in the Baskin Engineering Courtyard! calendar.ucsc.edu/event/dna_day_…

Genomics has been a long, slow burn, but both Russ Corbett and Erik Enbody of the Corbett-Detig have been pushing to harness its power to share pathogen data in real time and leverage it to preserve biodiversity. Read more about their work here: engineering.ucsc.edu/news/genomics-…

🎉🎉🎉 Huge congratulations to our Scientific Director David Haussler on receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award at @UCSC's Innovation Awards Ceremony last week! Watch the video on his legacy and continued innovation in the field of genomics: youtu.be/4NrL6lAI5QI

Today is #WorldHealthDay ! Researchers at the Genomics Institute are working closely with National Human Genome Research Institute and other agencies to build technologies to improve the potential of genomic medicine to advance human health. Read more about our projects here: ow.ly/EwZa50R7KHo

Exciting potential for this new class of cancer biomarkers. Daniel Kim and his innovative research program never disappoint!

Kicking off day 2 at #AACR24 with a fascinating talk in a session on genomic “dark matter” in cancer. American Cancer Society grantee Daniel Kim gave a fascinating talk about the RNA payload within extracellular vesicles.

Looking forward to speaking this Saturday at the American Association for Cancer Research AACR Annual Meeting on 'Repetitive RNAs as Non-Coding Biomarkers of Cancer'!
