Daniel Dugan is a Bioinformatician at Genomenon, Inc, where he focuses on reducing the time Geneticists and Pathologists spend researching genetic variants when curating individualized care plans. Daniel also uses 3-D printers to help people who have lost parts or all of their hands. Many of the hands and arms made are sent to Haiti, Cuba, Nepal and other countries that are medically underserved. He has completed around three dozen fully-assembled hands through his work with e-NABLE, from the standard raptor reloaded model with a pincher grasp, to an electric hand that senses muscle movement to drive the finger movement.
