The Center for Precision Medicine and Data Sciences (CPMDS) at UC Davis, led by Colleen E. Clancy, PhD (Director) and Vladimir Yarov-Yarovoy, PhD (Associate Director), brings together researchers, including Pei-Chi Yang, PhD, Hajar Amini, PhD, Diego Lopez Mateos, PhD, and Khoa Ngo, PhD to advance computational medicine.

Liang Xue, Project Scientist working with Dean Estella Atekwana in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, is part of the DRIAR (Dry Rifting in the Albertine-Rhino Graben) project—an international collaboration focused on understanding magma-poor continental rifting. His research combines geophysical observations with numerical models.

Dana Raed Al-Hindi is a PhD candidate in the Department of Anthropology, specializing in population and quantitative genetics. Her research aims to characterize pre- and post-European-contact population structure within South Africa, as well as identifying novel genomic regions contributing to skin pigmentation variation among individuals with high Khoe-San ancestry.

Magali Billen, PhD is a Professor and Department Chair of Earth and Planetary Sciences and a previous HPC Facility Advisory Committee member. Her research focuses on using finite element models to study deformation within the Earth, particularly in subduction zones where one tectonic plate sinks into the mantle beneath another tectonic plate.

JP Graff, BS, DO, MAS is an Associate Professor in the Division of Hematopathology and Informatics in the School of Medicine. His current research focuses on developing context-controlled large language models designed to assist clinicians in selecting the appropriate laboratory tests and collection methods.

Daisuke Sato, PhD, is an Associate Professor in the Department of Pharmacology at UC Davis. His research focuses on unraveling the mechanisms behind cardiac arrhythmias through multiscale modeling of the heart.

Surl-Hee Ahn, PhD is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering. Her research focus is on investigating proteins, biomolecules, and materials at the atomic level using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations.

Claire Prowse-Wilkins is a Postdoctoral Scholar in Animal Science, focusing on animal genetics. Her research involves sequencing a vast number of animal genomes, a task made feasible by utilizing the High-Performance Computing (HPC) core facility.

Andrew Wetzel, PhD is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics & Astronomy and in the Department of Astrophysics & Cosmology Group at UC Davis. He is a theoretical/computational astrophysicist and cosmologist.

Adele Igel, Phd is an Associate Professor in the Department of Land and Water Resources. She works in the area of bridging high-performance computing and weather analytics. 

Jawdat Al-Bassam, an Associate Professor at UCD, is a leading researcher studying the mechanisms of motility and dynamic polymerization of the microtubule cytoskeleton in eukaryotic cell division. The laboratory focuses on determining snapshots of molecular machines in different stages of a biological process to explain their mechanisms. 

James A. Letts, a prominent scientist at UCD, is a leading researcher in the field of mitochondrial respiration, a crucial process in eukaryotic cells. His lab has made significant advancements by determining the first structures of respiratory complexes in plants and ciliates.
