Dr. K's mentor "Lee Hood, MD, PhD, is a pioneer in the systems approach to biology and medicine. His research has focused on molecular immunology, biotechnology, and genomics. Dr. Hood began his career at Caltech, where he and his colleagues developed the DNA gene sequencer and synthesizer and the protein synthesizer and sequencer, which paved the way for mapping the human genome. A pillar in the biotechnology field, Dr. Hood has played a role in founding more than fourteen biotechnology companies, including Amgen, Applied Biosystems, Darwin, and Integrated Diagnostics."

"We are a pattern discovery company. We find novel patterns in complex data that cannot be discovered using conventional techniques or tools, even on exascale computers. We are not just another machine learning or AI company: we developed a proprietary, end-to-end system for generating new hypotheses and insights from data to help you transform your research or business. Our hypothesis-generating engine is prompting new ways of assessing and solving some of the most difficult and entrenched problems in medical research."

"The Walton Family Foundation is, at its core, a family-led foundation. The children and grandchildren of our founders, Sam and Helen Walton, lead the foundation and create access to opportunity for people and communities. We believe the best ideas can come from anywhere, so we stay open to new thinking from all over. And we partner with those who are closest to the problem because they're usually closest to the solution. "

UCSD received a 5 million dollar grant from the NOORDA foundation. The research product will be slow in coming. NOORDA wants to work with N=1 patients

"The way we get our food in the United States is completely messed up. When you go to the grocery store, especially in a city, most of the fresh fruits and vegetables you see have been trucked in from somewhere else, losing crucial nutritional value at an environmental cost. This is a huge problem, but Elon Musk's brother has a solution...in the form of a shipping container"

"Medicine X is Stanford University's premier health care innovation program focusing on the intersection of emerging technologies and medicine. Our initiative is a catalyst for new ideas, and explores how we can work together to advance the practice of medicine, implement new approaches to healthcare such as precision medicine, and empower all stakeholders to be active participants in discussions about the future of health care. Under the direction of Dr. Larry Chu, Associate Professor of Anesthesia at Stanford School of Medicine, and guided by the Everyone Included™ framework for co-creation and leadership, Medicine X is a project of the Stanford AIM Lab and a growing international community."

"The Center for Integrative Medicine operates virtually across UC San Diego's departments and divisions, focusing on whole-person wellness by addressing your physical, as well as lifestyle, emotional, psychological and spiritual needs. Blending the science of medicine with the art of healing creates an environment throughout UC San Diego's community that not only supports the best in clinical care, but also offers opportunities for research, education and community partnerships."

Neural Integration - Todd Coleman PHD, Armen Gharibans PHD

Jurgen P. Schulze "Dr. Schulze's research focus is on making interactive 3D visualization systems easier to use. This includes both the visual display of the data, and input paradigms. Dr. Schulze uses high-end clustered graphics systems, such as virtual reality CAVEs to immerse the user in the data, and he uses 3D tracked input devices and more recently smart phones and tablets to interact with the virtual reality system. Dr. Schulze is the director of the Immersive Visualization Laboratory (IVL) at UC San Diego's Qualcomm Institute, the San Diego division of Calit2. In the CSE Department, Dr. Schulze teaches CSE 167 (Introduction to Computer Graphics) and CSE 165 (3D User Interfaces) and runs independent study projects in his laboratory at the Qualcomm Institute."

"The UC San Diego Center for Mindfulness is a multi-faceted program of professional training, education, research and outreach intended to further the practice and integration of mindfulness into all aspects of society. We offer a broad range of mindfulness-based programs and initiatives. Whether your interest in mindfulness is personal or professional, on behalf of a young family member or your workplace, or if you are just curious about what it is, you are invited to explore our online home.
