April 1, 2010
The April 1st event will focus on Medical Robotics, with a presentation by
Dr. Mohan Bodduluri, Co-founder and Vice President, Research and Development for Restoration Robotics, Inc. located in Mountain View.
Dr. Bodduluri will speak on “The Role of Medical Robotics in the treatment from cancer to hair transplantation.”
Prior to
Restoration Robotics, Dr. Bodduluri was the Vice President, Research and Development at Accuray Incorporated where he helped
develop CyberKnife from its early stages to commercialization. CyberKnife is used to treat cancerous tumors and other
malformations anywhere in the body by delivering surgical doses of radiation using image guided robotics.

DNA sequencing and gene expression experiments have been major tools for biological research since the early 90's. With the
advent of next-generation DNA sequencing systems and the first clinical diagnostics applications of gene expression, these
tools are beginning to have an impact more directly on clinical research and medicine while continuing to expand our understanding of basic biology.
On May 6 we will explore the increasing role of genomics in medicine with a talk by Dr. Gary Schroth, Sr. Director of Gene Expression
Applications R&D at Illumina, Inc. His group is involved in application development for Illumina’s new DNA sequencing platforms,
including mRNA analysis, microRNA analysis, ChIP-SEQ, and genome-wide DNA methylation profiling. Previously, Dr. Schroth was Director,
Expression Applications R&D at Solexa and a Sr. Staff Scientist, Arrays R&D at Applied Biosystems. He was an ACS Postdoctoral Fellow
Oregon State University and received his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from UC Davis.
