Nicholas Navin

Nicholas Navin is an American biologist, and the Grady Saunders Distinguished Professor at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.[1] Nicholas Navin has pioneered the development of the first single cell sequencing methods for DNA [2]

Navin is the Director of the CPRIT Single Cell Genomics Center and the co-director of the Advanced Genomic Technologies Core and holds a dual appointment in the university's Department of Genetics and Department of Bioinformatics, and serves as a scientific advisor to the biotechnology company ZS Genetics.[3] Navin's work focuses on single cell sequencing, oncogenomics, bioinformatics and the genome evolution in cancer.[1] Navin worked under the tutelage of Michael Wigler at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, where he helped to develop the first single-cell DNA sequencing method: single nucleus sequencing. This discovery played pivotal role in establishing the field of single-cell genomics.[4][5]
