  1. LIFE SCIENCE NEW INITIATIVE(LSNI) Alberto Del Guerra Report to ADCOM, Las Vegas 30 July 2011

  2. RATIONALE • Advances in life sciences such as cell biology, genomics, and pharmacology, as well as society’s desire to improve health care, have led to a need for more of what IEEE has to offer: statistical methods, image analyses, diagnostic devices, and medical equipment standards, to name just a few contributions. They all involve electrical and computer engineering and computer science—areas in which IEEE has a wealth of experience. [from the new portal: http://lifesciences.ieee.org/ ]

  3. A threeyear project At the 20-21 February 2010 IEEE Meeting Series, the Board of Directors approved five priorities for 2011: • Ensure sustainable progress toward establishing IEEE’s leadership in important new technical areas (including the Smart Grid and selected areas within Life Sciences).

  4. Life Sciences New Initiative • Aimed at better coordinating all technical activities as currently distributed among various Societies/Councils, to promote the technical leadership of IEEE in Life Sciences and Engineering, which include bioengineering, biomedical engineering, healthcare technology, and applications of various technologies to life sciences and healthcare.

  6. New portal:http://lifesciences.ieee.org/ • Live Launch of the LSP on June 20, 2011. • Promo blast on June 23  via  a  Press Release, IEEE Home Page IEEE's Ample Life SciencesEffortsGet More ExposureMany people are unaware of what a major player IEEE is in the field of life sciences, becauseactivities, scatteredacross the organization, are notwellpublicized. To help get the word out, a new IEEE Life Sciences Web portalshowcasesupcomingconferences and researchpapers, standards, and educational materials.

  7. Problem(article free download) • We cannot use  use articles in Xplore, since its access is limited to subscribers. If an Xplore article is proposed, it  must  be rewritten in a form that is publicly accessible (i.e, non-Xplore  website,) or in a web style that  can be copied. • We  cannot directly copy articles material into  the  portal  without  permission. • If you  send us the text  on an article,  please indicate if you are  giving us permission to  copy it
