MTL Workshop on Next-Generation Medical Electronic Systems

The MIT Microsystems Technology Laboratories Workshop on “Next Generation Medical Electronic Systems” is a forum for experts from academia, the semiconductor and medical device industry, the medical profession and DoD to exchange technical ideas, explore collaboration opportunities and define directions related to health care systems. The two day event will focus on a broad range of next generation medical systems including implantable electronics, wearable devices and portable systems.

Building 34, EG&G Education Center Grier Rooms A&B, 34-401, 50 Vassar Street Cambridge, MA 02139-4307. (Registration is closed).

Biomedical Imaging and Analysis 2008/2009 Seminar Series
This series focuses on problems that arise in mathematical modeling for biomedical image analysis and on interesting applications of imaging with the goal of better understanding of biological phenomena. Seminars usually take place on Fridays, in 32-D507. Contact: Polina Golland (polina@csail.mit.edu)

Bioinformatics Seminar Series 2008
The seminar is co-sponsored by the Department of Mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and the Theory of Computation group at the MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). The seminar series focuses on highlighting areas of research in the field of Computational Biology. For more information on this series please see http://www-math.mit.edu/compbiosem/
