David H. Nguyen, PhD

Principal Investigator

 

Dave is a computational biologist with a primary interest in developing novel methods to crack the grammar of the "tissue spatial code" that governs development, wound healing, and limb regeneration. He coined and is developing the concept of "Heritable Non-Genetic Information" (HNI, pronounced "honey") to describe the non-semantic codes that govern the aforementioned biological phenomena in light of the mounting evidence that DNA is not the only heritable code that stores biological instructions. Watch a summary video about HNI in the video on this page.

Dave obtained his B.A. and Ph.D. from University of California, Berkeley. He was a Visiting Scholar in the Department of Radiology at Stanford University. Prior to this he was an Affiliate Scientist in the Molecular Biophysics and Integrated Bioimaging Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. ORCID ID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0238-0233
