DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Daniel A. Fletcher\nhosted by Martin Loose\nAbstract: 
 Understanding and detecting diseases is a central challenge for basic biol
 ogical sciences and a major goal of healthcare. Recent advances in technol
 ogies for manipulating biomolecules in cells and collecting data electroni
 cally have opened new possibilities for identifying and addressing signs o
 f disease. This talk will describe two different efforts to address infect
 ious diseases\, one focused on understanding and manipulating molecular me
 chanisms involved in immune cell target recognition and the other based on
  converting mobile phones into image-based diagnostic platforms. These pro
 jects point to new opportunities for linking biology and engineering with 
 medicine. \n\nDr. Dan Fletcher is the Chatterjee Professor of Engineering
  Biological Systems at UC Berkeley\, where he also serves as Chair of the 
 Bioengineering Department and Chief Technologist of the Blum Center for De
 veloping Economies. Dr. Fletcher received a B.S. from Princeton University
 \, a D.Phil. from Oxford University where he was a Rhodes Scholar\, and a 
 Ph.D. from Stanford University as an NSF Graduate Research Fellow. His bio
 engineering and biophysics research has been recognized with an NSF CAREER
  Award\, a Tech Award from the San Jose Tech Museum\, and a “Best of Wha
 t’s New” citation by Popular Science magazine. He served as a White Ho
 use Fellow in the Office of Science and Technology Policy\, is an elected 
 Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering\, 
 and is a Chan-Zuckerberg Biohub Investigator.\n
