The Human Immunome Project
The Human Immunome Project Every week I learn something new and interesting in Medical Automation and Innovation News. This week I learned about The Human Immunome Project (HIP), a groundbreaking scientific endeavor aimed at comprehensively mapping and unlocking the secrets of the human immune system. By constructing a vast database of immune system data from […]
Cows Produce Human Insulin
Cows Produce Human Insulin Diabetes is a major health concern, affecting over 422 million people globally and 38.4 million in the US alone (11.6% of the population). While the exact number of insulin users is unknown, millions rely on it, particularly those with type 1 diabetes. The cost of this lifesaving medication is substantial, contributing […]
The Rise of Biomedical Engineering
The Rise of Biomedical Engineering In 1963, when I began studying electrical engineering, there were two tracks of courses a student could choose from: electronics or power. Electronics was about solid-state devices such as transistors. The Intel microprocessor was not to come until 1971. The power track was mostly about electric motors and power generation. […]
Healthcare Innovation
Healthcare Innovation One of the things which can keep your brain healthy is to keep stimulating it. I do that through my reading, writing, and speaking. This week, my brain was super-stimulated by attending an all-day Nuvance Health Neuroscience Institute Symposium. Dr. Paul Wright, MD, MBA and SVP, System Chair for Neuroscience at Nuvance Health […]
The Vibrating Pill
The Vibrating Pill One of my favorite weekly reads is Medical Automation. It is an independent champion of effective, efficient, and equitable healthcare. It promotes the intersection of parallel revolutions in biomedicine, informatics, and nanotechnologies. Every week, the electronic newsletter summarizes at least a half-dozen breakthrough research projects applicable to medicine and healthcare. One of […]
