UC Santa Cruz researchers were awarded 26 new patents in the last fiscal year, a record number for the campus. The new patents include novel compounds with potential medical uses, and new methods for genome assembly and analysis of genomic sequencing data.
Mark Akeson, professor of biomolecular engineering, received five patents related to nanopore DNA sequencing, a concept invented and pioneered at UC Santa Cruz for analyzing DNA and other molecules. Nanopore sequencing is an area of excellence and core competency at Startup Sandbox.
