Karen H Miga, PhD
Assistant Professor, Biomolecular Engineering Department, UCSC
Associate Director, UCSC Genomics Institute
Director, UCSC Sequencing Technology Center
Throughout my career, I have developed innovative computational and experimental approaches to advance our understanding of centromeric and pericentromeric DNAs. I work at the forefront of genome technologies as part of the T2T and Pangenome initiative to construct genetic and epigenetic maps to expand our understanding of their structure and function. As a group leader, I prioritize fostering a creative and scientifically rigorous environment that supports inclusivity and diversity within our scientific team. I also prioritize training that operates at the intersection of science, justice, and equity.
