Condon, C. (BMEB) – Genomic conflict across scales
Genomes are often viewed as cooperative systems in which genes work together to support organismal function. Yet genetic elements can also act in ways that favor their own transmission or […]

Advances in microscopy have enabled the collection of high-quality single-cell datasets, providing new opportunities to identify the mechanisms underlying complex biological processes. In this work, we develop machine-learning frameworks using single-cell temporal data with the goal of predicting and providing insights into these mechanisms. We produce frameworks for two biological systems, bacterial spore germination, the […]
This PhD research focuses on developing reliable medical foundation models capable of reasoning across textual, visual, and interactive clinical information. The work investigates three complementary directions: improving medical reasoning through test-time scaling, training multimodal medical models with verifiable rewards, and synthesizing high-quality visual question-answering data from biomedical literature using generator-verifier frameworks. Building on these efforts, […]
The 26th Annual UC Systemwide Bioengineering Symposium (BIC 2026) is taking place at UC Santa Cruz on August 22-23, 2026. The event will bring together faculty, researchers, students, industry representatives, non-profit organizations, and other stakeholders to explore bioengineering & AI in the heart of the redwood forest. BIC 2026 will foster new collaborations and showcase […]
Modern autonomous-driving models increasingly rely on learned representations and generated reasoning to interpret complex scenes and produce predictions or actions. However, it remains unclear what information these models encode, how that information is exposed through common interpretation methods, and whether their stated reasoning meaningfully influences their behavior. This research investigates these questions across motion-forecasting and […]
Join us for an inside look at how our AI Application Development courses provide hands‑on experience, industry‑driven projects, and the technical foundation you need to advance your career as an ML Engineer, MLOps Engineer, or Applied AI Researcher.

In March 2024, a backdoor was discovered in xz Utils, a widely used open source data compression library present in nearly every major Linux distribution. The attack was discovered days before merging into major distributions, and if this had happened, it would have allowed attackers to execute arbitrary code on millions of systems worldwide via […]
