Next Wave of Faculty in Genomics Symposium UC Santa Cruz is hosting a symposium dedicated to celebrating & highlighting outstanding genomic research of diverse postdoctoral fellows across the country on April 15, 2025. @RussCorbett docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

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

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, @drmatthewmurray, @AlastairGreyst2, @StefaniaCrucit1,@ProfDanielKim & @ShervinTabrizi. Register Now! hubs.la/Q02VCLTf0

Exciting news! @ucscgenomics 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 (@ProfDanielKim) presented his lab’s exciting work on harnessing RNA liquid biopsy for early cancer detection 🧬 collaborating with the labs of @utkandemirci and @RFitzgerald_lab. Recently, they identified novel annotated RNA transcripts, demonstrating how their pipeline differentiates distinct RNA isoforms between cancerous and healthy samples. 📊🔍 #LiquidBiopsy #CancerDetection #RNAResearch #PrecisionMedicine #EDxConf24 | @CRUKresearch | @OHSUKnight | @ucsc -pds

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

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

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

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

Looking forward to giving a talk tomorrow at RNA Canada 2024 on Advancing #RNA Liquid Biopsy Technology via @Nanopore Sequencing! #RNACanadaARN

Good to see ACS Research Scholar @ProfDanielKim at @SFDISCOVERYGALA 2024. Bay Area fundraising to fuel the fight against cancer. Be Bold. Be the Breakthrough. @AmericanCancer

Camilla and @MarcelGE_Rommel took center stage this morning at the GSCN conference in Jena, Germany where they presented exciting work from the lab! It’s been great hearing from fellow researchers pushing the boundaries of stem cell science! @gscn_office #gscn2024

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

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

A $12.3 million @CIRMnews award will support #UCSC, @ucsf & @ucberkeley scientists to research genetic underpinnings of autism, using brain organoids. UCSC team includes @braingeneers Sophie Salama, @mohammedmostajo, Mircea Teodorescu, & David Haussler. bit.ly/3Z7eqU5

Congratulations to our very own @MarcelGE_Rommel on winning the Pre-Meeting Workshop Best Poster Presentation award at this year’s @ISEHSociety conference. So very well-deserved! Bonus points for matching outfits with Camilla!
