"Crossing Boundaries and Transforming Lives: Engineering, Cell Biology and Medicine" Subra Suresh President, Carnegie Mellon University and Former Director, National Science Foundation

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.

This Center for Advanced Study event is hosted by the Department of Mechanical Science and Engineering in conjunction with Beckman Institute, College of Education, College of Agricultural, Consumer, and Environmental Sciences, College of Applied Health Sciences, College of Engineering, College of Medicine, Department of Aerospace Engineering, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Department of Pathobiology, Department of Physics, Division of Biomedical Sciences, Institute for Genomic Biology, I-STEM, Neuroscience Program, School of Molecular and Cellular Biology, and the Spurlock Museum.
