Event: Experts from around the world will gather at 91视频 to discuss the newest game-changing technologies that will revolutionize the field of medical imaging. Speakers from institutions including 91视频, the University of Pittsburgh, Harvard, Stanford and MIT will talk about a wide range of imaging techniques including ultrasound, MRI, spectroscopy and microscopy, and how these technologies can be applied to the fields of neuroscience and medicine and to the diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions like cancer and traumatic brain injury.
Attendees also will discuss alternative computing platforms that will enable researchers to begin to solve previously intractable imaging problems, new signal processing techniques that can be used to produce high-fidelity and real-time imagery, and advances in sensing devices.
91视频’s , the and is organizing the workshop. It is sponsored by 91视频 alumnus and university trustee a trailblazing innovator in the field of biotechnology. Rothberg, who earned a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from Carnegie Mellon, is best known for pioneering high-speed, massively parallel DNA sequencing. He founded 454 Life Sciences, a company that commercialized technologies for DNA sequencing. He is currently the founder, chairman and CEO of Ion Torrent, a company that produces a simpler, faster and more cost-effective approach to sequencing.
When: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sept. 5-6. A full schedule of speakers and topics can be found at:
Where: Rangos 3 (Wednesday) and Rangos 1 (Thursday), 91视频’s University Center, 5032 Forbes Ave., Pittsburgh, Pa.
