IEEE Life Sciences Newsletter
The IEEE Life Sciences Newsletter is a new initiative to bring forth interesting articles and informative interviews within the exciting field of life sciences every month.
Dr. Stephen Quake and his group at Stanford University seek to bring the high precision of physics to the world of biology, using the biological equivalent of Large Scale Integration devices. In this interview, conducted at a recent IEEE conference, he shares his views …
Mikulas Chavko received the Masters degree in Physical Chemistry from Czech Technical University in Prague and PhD degree in Biochemistry from University of Veterinary Medicine in Kosice, Czechoslovakia. Dr. Chavko had been involved in research related to mechanisms of ischemic brain and spinal cord damage …
Usmah Kawoos (S ’05-M ’09) received the B.E. degree in medical electronics from the Visvesvaraya Technological University, Belgaum, India, in 2002, the M.S. and Ph.D degree in biomedical engineering from Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA, in 2007 and 2009, respectively. Dr. Kawoos is currently working as …
H. Chitsaz is assistant professor of Computer Science at Wayne State University, Detroit, MI. Prior to joining Wayne State University, Dr. Chitsaz was a postdoctoral scholar at University of California, San Diego where he initiated single-cell genome assembly in collaboration with Pavel Pevzner and Glenn …
Dr. Stephen Quake, D.Phil., is a Professor of Bioengineering and of Applied Physics at Stanford University. He pioneered the development of Microfluidic Large Scale Integration (LSI), demonstrating the first integrated microfluidic devices with thousands of mechanical valves. This technology is helping to pave the way …

After (too long!) an absence, Mathukumalli Vidyasagar (“Sagar”) returns with his Computational Biology Corner column. This time Sagar recounts an incident that reinforces the need to critically review your measurements!
By Geoffrey P. Luke and Stanislav Y. Emelianov
The emerging field of photoacousitc imaging offers high resolution visualization of body tissues, while being non-invasive and not involving ionizing radiation.
Dr. William Heetderks is the Director of Extramural Science Programs at the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NBIB), of the National Institutues of Health (USA). Here he shares with us, via IEEE.tv, the ways in which he sees technology improving the practice …
This month we bring you several views of technological advances in life science – and a cautionary note about not blindly accepting what our instruments tell us! In our video, William Heetderks of the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering gives us his views …
