David Haussler

Bioinfo-rmatician David Haussler (PhDCompSci) of the University of California, Santa Cruz, led one of two teams that in 2000 first sequenced the 400,000 pieces of the human genome. At the time, President Bill Clinton called the Human Genome Project, of which David’s team was a part, a historic achievement that would revolutionize the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diseases. Thousands of biomedical researchers worldwide use the UCSC Genome Browser to uncover the causes of diseases and develop treatments.
