  7. Biodesign Faculty Cancer Research Institute Yaa-Yin Meng, Acting Administrator Center for Applied NanoBioscience Frederic Zenhausern, Director Center for Bioelectronics and Biosensors Joseph Wang, Director Center for BioOptical Nanotechnology Neal Woodbury, Director Center for Environmental Biotechnology Bruce Rittmann, Director  Center for Evolutionary Functional Genomics Sudhir Kumar, Director Center for Infectious Diseases and Vaccinology Charles Arntzen & Roy Curtiss, Directors Center for Innovations in Medicine Stephen Johnston, Director Center for Neural Interface Design Jiping He, Director Center for Protein and Peptide Therapeutics Lokesh Joshi, Director Center for Rehabilitation Neuroscience and Rehabilitation Engineering James Abbas & Ranu Jung, Directors Center for Single Molecule Biophysics Stuart Lindsay, Director

  8. Biologics and Pharmaceuticals Freeze dried potato media Dr. Charles Arntzen inspects tomatoes grown in the greenhouse facility at ASU. Dr. Arntzen and David Julovich look at freeze dried tomatoes.

  9. Neural Interface and Rehabilitation Therapies Stroke survivor Bruce J Mitchell gets assistance from RUPERT, a robotic arm that uses repetitive therapy to help stroke victims regain more normal arm function. Physical Therapist Janice Hunt Herman (Banner Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center, Phoenix) supervises. Helen Huang simulates reaching for a glass of water while wearing Infrared sensors. This exercise allows researchers to collect biofeedback information on the natural movement of her arm. Researchers then use this insight to simulate natural movement with prosthetic arms. Dr. Jiping He
