The Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University
Improving Global Monitoring of Infectious Diseases - Part 2 of 2
Sophisticated chemical, electrical and biological sensors hold the promise of being able to detect pathogens or chemicals in our bodies and our environment. Using technology, ASU scientists are looking for ways to more quickly detect emergent biological threats — via nature or bioterrorism.
ASU's DecisionTheater provides policy makers and community leaders a set of tools to participate in immersive and collaborative decision making. This episode goes behind the scenes to demonstrate the capabilities of Decision Theater that can be collaboratively engaged by the Biodesign Institute or other ASU or community groups.
Panelists include: George Poste, DVM, Ph.D., Director, the Biodesign Institute; Sayfe Kiaei, Ph.D., Director, WINTech, Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering; Shaun Jones, M.D., the Biodesign Institute.
Guest interviews include: Frederic Zenhausern, Ph.D., the Biodesign Institute; Dave Warner, M.D., Ph.D., Consultant, ASU Decision Theater.
