Research Focus
Dr. Aleksandar Rajkovic's lab at UCSF focuses on improving access to genomic healthcare, especially for underserved communities. They are implementing an innovative electronic consultation network called WestGEN, which connects healthcare providers with genetic specialists. This project not only enhances provider training in genomics but also explores the use of artificial intelligence to streamline these consultations, ultimately aiming to improve patient outcomes and health equity.
