Leading innovators will highlight their research in precision
medicine and biological systems engineering
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced that it will
host the western regional conference of the National Academy of
Engineering, along with a technical symposium—Bioengineering,
Advancing Our World—at company headquarters in Santa Clara,
California, on March 28, 2019.
Open to the public, the symposium will be led by Darlene
Solomon, Agilent senior vice president, and chief technology
officer. It will feature four of bioengineering’s leading
innovators, who will highlight their research in precision
medicine, biomaterials for drug delivery, cellular manufacturing,
and biological systems.
Steve Quake is the Lee Otterson Professor of Bioengineering,
co-president of the Chan-Zuckerberg Biohub, and a professor of
applied physics at Stanford University. Quake's interests lie at
the nexus of physics, biology, and biotechnology. His research is
concerned with developing new approaches to biological measurement
and applying them to problems of both fundamental and medical
interest.
Tejal Desai is the Ernest L. Prien Professor and chair of the
department of bioengineering and therapeutic sciences for the
University of California, San Francisco. Her research brings
together advanced micro and nanotechnologies, fundamental insights
into cellular behavior in engineered environments, and novel
pharmacologic delivery approaches.
Jay Keasling is a professor of chemical engineering and
bioengineering with the University of California, Berkeley. He is
also chief science and technology officer for biosciences at the
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and chief executive of the
Joint BioEnergy Institute. His interdisciplinary team of scientists
and engineers focuses on engineering the chemistry inside microbial
cells to produce lifesaving therapies, clean-burning fuels, and new
materials for a variety of applications.
Karl Deisseroth is the D.H. Chen Professor of Bioengineering, as
well as a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at
Stanford University. His lab develops and applies tools for
controlling and mapping specific elements within intact biological
systems.
“Our ability to measure, understand, and apply biology is
advancing rapidly, enabling transformational improvement to the
human condition; this is Agilent’s mission, and we are delighted to
see today’s terrific participation,” said Solomon. “I’m grateful to
NAE and our extraordinary speakers for their contributions to this
exciting symposium for our Greater Bay Area technical
community.”
“Everyone attending the Regional Meeting is deeply appreciative
of the contributions of the distinguished speakers, and of Agilent
too, that make this meeting so exceptional,“ said C. D. Mote Jr.,
president of the National Academy of Engineering. “I never get over
how generous, so many contributors are with their time, talents,
and facilities, which when taken together are the academy’s value
to society. I appreciate Agilent’s willingness to host the meeting,
and for doing it so well.”
