Grand Challenges for Engineering

Making Personalized Medicine a Reality, Lisa A. Haile, GEN, updated 1 January 2008, accessed 27 August 2013 (Engineer Better Medicines) Personalization of medicine is really the next big step in eliminating the problem of generalized healthcare that prevents individuals from receiving optimized treatment. Theranostics must be acknowledged further and pursued as a means of promoting human health.

Favorite Demo

My favorite demo was the Loma Prieta Earthquake visualization. This illustrates the real world applications of Matlab that allow people to better analyze events as they occur. Matlab simplifies the process of interpreting the data through multiple models, and this demonstration seemed most representative of its uses.
