[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Web of science search.

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Dear exciton-interested group members, Search the papers by DL Andrews (The author of the book resonance energy transfer) on the Web of Science. Some of them have titles and content similar to some of our ideas. We have to be at least aware of them. I attach a couple. -- Alán Aspuru-Guzik Assistant Professor Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology 12 Oxford Street Harvard University Cambridge, MA 02138 Tel: (617)384-8188 Group URL: http://aspuru.chem.harvard.edu

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] [iic-seminars] IIC Seminar today - Ron Kikinis

by Helene Tingle

Initiative in Innovative Computing @ Harvard Seminar Series Wednesday, October 3, 2007; 4:00pm 60 Oxford Street, Room 330 Ron Kikinis, MD, founding Director, Surgical Planning Laboratory, Department of Radiology, Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, and Professor of Radiology, Harvard Medical School Seminar Title: Medical Image Computing: From Data to Understanding Abstract: The development of new technologies that acquire large amounts of complex data is accelerating throughout medicine. Corresponding breakthroughs in accessible computation and algorithm development have made image analysis an indispensable tool for medical research and clinical practice. For example, image analysis enables the data acquired using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and functional magnetic resonance (fMRI) to reveal subject-specific structure and function of the brain. The emerging field of medical image computing requires strong, interdisciplinary teams of researchers, physicians, and engineers. Building such teams is a challenging but ultimately rewarding process. The Surgical Planning Lab at Brigham and Women's Hospital was founded in 1990 to enable research in image computation within the hospital context. Today, the SPL is the hub of the National Alliance for Medical Image Computing, a national effort with international impact across biomedicine and, increasingly, other fields of science. NAMIC drives scientific and engineering innovation through interdisciplinary collaboration, application-driven development, a well-designed hardware and software infrastructure, and an open-source approach to dissemination and community-building. This presentation will describe how research ideas evolve into useful medical and scientific tools within the SPL and NAMIC environments. Upcoming IIC seminars Continue to stay up to date with our IIC Seminar Schedule. Parking is available in the 52 Oxford Street Garage. Please tell the attendant that you are attending the IIC Seminar. _______________________________________________ iic-seminars mailing list iic-seminars(a)calists.harvard.edu http://calists.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/iic-seminars
