Health applications powered by semiconductor technologies: imec’s vision on the smart health era
In this first webinar of the genomic webinar series, Liesbet Lagae - imec Fellow and Program Director Life Science Technologies – will set the stage by sharing imec’s vision and roadmap for smart health technologies. All the different aspects of imec’s health research will be discussed, with applications ranging from cardiology over oncology and infectious diseases to genomics.
At the heart of all this research is the strong believe that semiconductor technologies can transform life science and smart health applications in a revolutionary way with orders of magnitudes to gain in throughput, sample to answer time and cost. What is key to innovate in all different areas: process technology, material exploration, chip R&D, hardware, analytics, up to the system level. She will link to genomics and how semiconductor technologies can act as a gamechanger in the genomics space.
This introductory seminar sets the stage for the genomics webinar series where imec experts will dive deeper into semiconductor-based solutions for sample preparation, DNA/RNA/protein reading, and data analysis while touching upon emerging domains such as spatial omics, nanopore-based sensing and privacy-preserving population genomics.
