Materials Science Aproaches for Life Sciences and Human Health (Max Planck Lecture)
- Prof. Dr. Subra Suresh
- Massachussetts Institute of Technology, USA
This lecture will provide recent research results at the intersections of engineering, materials science, nanotechnology, genetics, life sciences, medicine and public health.
Particular attention will be devoted to the role research at the intersections of these different fields plays in advancing the boundaries of human disease diagnostics, therapeutics and drug efficacy assays, through experiments, computations, and clinical studies. Specific examples will include research results for infectious diseases, human cancer, blood disorders and traumatic brain injury.
