Professor Taher Saif and MechSE will host Dr. Subra Suresh, President, Carnegie Mellon University and Former Director, National Science Foundation, in the Center for Advanced Study (CAS)/MillerComm Lecture Series:
Crossing Boundaries and Transforming Lives: Engineering, Cell Biology and Medicine Tuesday, October 1, 2013 4:00pm Knight Auditorium, Spurlock Museum 600 South Gregory Street Urbana
Major advances crossing the boundaries of computational science, nanotechnology, genomics, imaging, and big data have provided new tools and approaches to examining human health and diseases. This presentation will provide specific examples of some cross-disciplinary developments in our understanding of human diseases across engineering, life sciences and medicine.
The CAS/MillerComm Lecture Series is one of the most prominent public events on campus and draws a wide and varied audience from the University as well as the Champaign-Urbana community. MillerComm is supported by an endowment left by Professor George A. Miller upon his death in 1951.
