  • Moreland, Z. (AM) – Transcriptomic and Computational Analysis of Burn and Excisional Wound Healing

    Jack Baskin Engineering Baskin Engineering 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, CA

    Accurate assessment of wound healing progress is critical for optimizing patient care and preventing complications, yet clinicians currently lack precise tools to determine where a wound stands in the healing timeline. Wound healing progresses through overlapping stages of inflammation, proliferation, and maturation, each marked by characteristic shifts in gene expression that are difficult to interpret […]

  • Rose, N. (BMEB) – MACHINE LEARNING MODELS FOR T CELL RECEPTOR TARGET DISCOVERY AND AFFINITY ENGINEERING

    Jack Baskin Engineering Baskin Engineering 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, CA

    T cell receptors (TCRs) mediate antigen-specific immune responses through recognition of peptides presented by major histocompatibility complex (pMHC) molecules. Accurately predicting TCR–pMHC interactions remains a major barrier to TCR-based immunotherapy, due to limitations in current models that fail to generalize beyond common viral epitopes and well-characterized HLA alleles. In this PhD proposal, I outline a […]

  • Self-Guided Labyrinth Walk

    Jack Baskin Engineering Baskin Engineering 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, CA

    Join your UCSC colleagues in walking the new campus labyrinth located under the Redwood trees in the Baskin Engineering Circle. A labyrinth is different than a maze in that there are no dead-ends or tricks, which allows visitors to move through the path and focus on the present. We invite both those who have experienced […]
