Description:
The Kraw Lecture Series in Silicon Valley features UC Santa Cruz scientists and technologists presents “Sequencing DNA from Remote Villages to the Space Station: The Nanopore Revolution with Mark Akeson,
UC Santa Cruz Professor of Biomolecular Science & Engineering
Nanopore technology, in the form of a pocket-sized device, allows scientists to detect pathogens in the field by sequencing individual DNA or RNA strands at nanometer-scale in real time. This technology brings modern genomics onsite during disease outbreaks with tremendous potential for human health.
