Bioscience Career Seminar: " Biology is Technology: The Promise, Peril, and New Business of Engineering Life." Thursday, October 21st, 2010
***Bioscience Career Seminar Series***
Presents:
"Biology is Technology: The Promise, Peril, and New Business of Engineering Life."
Rob Carlson, Ph.D.
BioDesic
*Refreshments and Snacks Provided*
Thursday, October 21st, 5-6pm, UW, Health Science Building
Room T-739 (T-wing)
Biotechnology is developing at a remarkable rate. Reading and writing DNA are both experiencing exponential improvements in cost and productivity due to advances in methods and automation. As of 2008, US revenues from the products of genetically modified systems were equivalent to approximately 2% of GDP, and were growing at about 15% annually. The future holds new drugs, treatments, fuels, materials, and crops, all produced using biological technologies.
Despite these rapid changes, the engineering of biology remains very difficult and typically does not result in systems with behaviors that are as predictable as airplanes, computers, or automobiles. A great deal of investment and effort is presently engaged in attempting to place biological engineering on the same footing. The promise of this project is great, as are the perils, and there is no guarantee of success.

Open House at Intel Labs Seattle
Monday, November 1, from 3:00 – 6:00 p.m.
We invite you to visit and meet some of Intel's top researchers when Intel Labs Seattle holds its annual open house on the 1st of November from 3 to 6 pm. The lab is located on the 6th floor of 1100 NE 45th St, Seattle, three blocks from the main University of Washington campus. The open house will include posters and demonstrations of key research projects, opportunities to meet researchers, students and faculty, and refreshments.
Founded in 2001, Intel Labs Seattle is an exploratory research lab that is part of the Academic Programs and Research arm of Intel Labs. We are a center of excellence in Context-Aware Sensor-Driven Systems. Our researchers develop techniques that enable computer systems to be fully aware of their environments and to interact seamlessly with their users. We drive this agenda from a user-centered viewpoint, forming interdisciplinary projects, creating prototypes of novel devices and systems, and evaluating use in realistic settings. Our lab is based on an innovative model of industry-university research that includes a deep collaborative relationship with the nearby University of Washington, as well as Intel product groups. Our research staff is recognized as leaders in sensing and wireless devices, robotics, mobile networks and systems, computer vision, artificial intelligence, and human-computer interaction.
During the last year, ILS researchers have worked on topics that include: sensing, vision and perception for context awareness; depth-cameras for 3D modeling and interaction; sensor systems that preserve user privacy; game playing robot manipulators; and wirelessly powered devices. This year's open house will display these projects and more.
