Featuring news and insight from a diverse array of experts, the inaugural issue and subscription information are available at http://lifesciences.ieee.org/publications/newsletter.
“We believe the IEEE Life Sciences Newsletter will be an indispensable tool for those working at the boundary of where the life sciences meet technology.
“We are at a critical juncture in the progression of essential life sciences, including medicine and healthcare, biology, and ecology. These fields have become increasingly reliant on a combination of traditional disciplines like math, physics and engineering, as well as next-generation technologies, in the pursuit of new breakthroughs and continuing advancements,” said Nitish Thakor, editor-in-chief, IEEE Life Sciences Newsletter. “IEEE is uniquely positioned to nurture this fusion of science and technology, enabling today’s abstract vision to become tomorrow’s concrete reality.”
Led by Thakor an IEEE fellow and John Hopkins University professor of biomedical engineering, the newsletter is a complement to the IEEE Life Sciences Web Portal. Drawing upon IEEE's diversity of expertise, richness of programs, and proven standards-development capabilities, the IEEE Life Sciences Newsletter aims to promote collaboration among researchers and practitioners in life sciences, engineering and computing.
Delivered via email and available on the IEEE Life Sciences Web Portal, each issue will offer a broad range of news, analysis and articles about emerging trends, the latest innovations, and the results of practical, real-world applications. Among topics included in the newsletter’s inaugural issue are implantable neural interface technologies, the role of machine learning in computational biology, and the creation of “satellite nanoscopes”. Subjects for future issues include:
• Synthetic biology
• Tissue engineering
• E-health
• Genome mapping
• Robotics and signal processing
• Biomedical imaging
• Body sensor networks
“For more than a century, IEEE has served as the home for the world’s leading thinkers and innovators in engineering, computing and technology development. We are now extending our wealth of resources and expertise to the greater life sciences community, enhancing cross fertilization between the disciplines,” said Moshe Kam, chair, IEEE Life Sciences Steering Committee and IEEE fellow. “We believe the IEEE Life Sciences Newsletter will be an indispensable tool for those working at the boundary of where the life sciences meet technology.”
