Biography
Iain Clark is an Assistant Professor in Bioengineering at UC Berkeley and a faculty affiliate at the California Institute for Quantitative Biosciences. He received a B.S. in Biological Engineering from Cornell University, an M.S. in Biosystems Engineering from UC Davis, and a Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering from UC Berkeley. His postdoctoral work in the Abate Lab at UCSF developed novel microfluidic tools for single-cell analysis. Following this, he pioneered methods for connectomics in the Quintana Lab at Harvard Medical School. Research in the Clark lab combines tools from multiple disciplines - genomics, microfluidics, molecular biology, and engineering - to study infectious diseases, central nervous system inflammation, and cell-cell interactions.
