Hiroshi Ueda

Dr. Ueda is a professor at Chemical Resources Laboratory, TIT. As an antibody engineer, he developed a number of new immunoassay methods including Open sandwich immunoassay, which can noncompetitively detect small molecule antigens with higher sensitivity than by conventional competitive assay. Recently he extended this approach to develop “Quenchbodies”, whose fluorescence increases upon binding with antigen, which is now under commercialization as a quick detection device for narcotics. He has also created a novel protein-protein interaction assay based on the functional...Read more

Amina Qutub

Dr. Qutub received her PhD in Bioengineering from the University of California, Berkeley and UCSF, and a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Rice University. Following her postdoctoral training in Biomedical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University, School of Medicine, she joined Rice University in 2009 where she is currently Assistant Professor in the Department of Bioengineering.

Her research interests are in neurovascular systems biology, cell engineering, and hypoxic response. Her lab’s research vision is to harness human cells’ natural behavior in order to understand...Read more

Shu Liu

Dr. Liu received PhD in Bioengineering from the University of California at San Diego, trained as a post-doctoral fellow at the same university, joined the Biomedical Engineering Faculty at Northwestern University in 1995, and is currently Professor of Biomedical Engineering.  Dr. Liu is interested in protective and regenerative engineering in education and research, focusing on naturally evolved trans-system protective and regenerative mechanisms in injury. These mechanisms are used as a foundation to develop molecular engineering strategies for preventing injury-induced disorders....Read more
