Medicine by Design symposium highlights importance of convergence in regenerative medicine and human health
Researchers are poised to make unprecedented breakthroughs in human health thanks to advances in biomedical and computational sciences that have driven critical tools and technologies such as genetic engineering, synthetic biology, and artificial intelligence.
That’s the message Dr. Victor Dzau, president of the U.S. National Academy of Medicine, delivered to Medicine by Design’s fifth annual symposium on Dec. 7 and 8.
The virtual event, which attracted more than 500 registrants from across North America, focused on the theme of better science through convergence – the integration of approaches from engineering, science, medicine and other fields to expand knowledge and spark innovation.
The National Academy of Inventors Dec. 8 announced its 175-person cohort of 2020 Fellows, including several Indian Americans and South Asian Americans among the group of global inventors.
Among the Fellows were Ananth Annapragada of the Baylor College of Medicine; Samuel Asirvatham of the Minnesota-based Mayo Clinic; Bir Bhanu of U.C. Riverside; Venkat Bhethanabotla of the University of South Florida; V. Chandrasekar of Colorado State University; Ramalingam Chellappa of Johns Hopkins University; Rajesh Dave of the New Jersey Institute of Technology; Anant Madabhushi of Case Western Reserve University; Mitzi Nagarkatti of the University of South Carolina; and Vijaykrishnan Narayanan of Pennsylvania State University.
