The DNA Services Director
Alvaro G. Hernandez, Ph.D.
I serve as the Director of DNA Services at the Roy J. Carver Biotechnology Center (CBC), leading the next-generation sequencing division serving academic, federal, and corporate partners. I received my PhD from the University of Illinois in March 2001 and joined the CBC a week later as a postdoctoral student. I became Assistant Director in 2005 and Director in 2008. My focus is on facility management, user support, and development of strategic partnerships. The DNA Services lab provides state-of-the-art equipment and expertise to users around the world.
