Our instructors are Bioengineers and Mechanical Engineers. They are professional trainers and
some are registered Professional Engineers.
Our instructors have a career working on medical instrument manufacturing
and development at New Image Industries. They have optimized robot operations,
developed custom integrated robotic systems, instituted standard
engineering practices, and investigated new technologies.
They have served as Directors in Automation,
automating the production of proprietary technology
using off-the-shelf and custom robotic solutions while managing
the engineering efforts of life science organizations.
In addition, our instructors have presented at various LabAutomation meetings since
1996 and have published in JALA, for which now serve
as Associate Editors. Our founders were Program Chairs, Associate Program Chairs, Scientific Commitee members, founders of sessions and shortcourse programs for LabAutomation
. Our founders were the founding
executive chairs of the San Diego and Bay Area chapters of the Laboratory Robotics
Interest Group. Our founders have taught courses on the laboratory automation
issues or techniques since
1996.
Our founders have received numerous Service of Excellence
Awards from the Association for Laboratory Automation (ALA)
where they served several years as a Scientific Committee Member,
Organizer, Short Course Instructors and Educational Coordinators
bridging conference short courses with university credits,
Guest Editors for the Journal for the Association for Laboratory
Automation (JALA), and the organizers of the Software Supplement
to JALA. As Founders and Executive Chairs of the Bay Area Laboratory
Robotics Interest Group, Biotech Forums, and the Southern
California Nanosig and Nano Forums they organized forums for
education, business, and technology.
Our founders make up the strength of our instructional team and they have earned
numerous patents in Drug Discovery, Genomics, Bio-informatics,
and have advised various labs in their growth, sales/marketing,
and processes. They consult companies on their technology
and business developments, performs corporate training.
As corporate partners for Knowledgeable Information System Solutions (KISS)
Principle Inc., they helped develop a Bio-Medical Asset Management
solution abbreviated B.A.M. for the life science market
offering associated products for helping businesses save money
by predicting cost and ROI's. The system manages laboratory
and IT assets, inventories and tracks assets, and remote controls
assets. It can conduct process and cost analysis, merger/acquisition
and move planning, and calculates usage and a TOC Cost Reduction.
B.A.M. is fully integrated product with inventory, procurement,
auto discovery of lab equipment, help desk, work & service
order tracking, document management, calibration and more
that may work with existing LIMS, sample management, scheduling,
work flow, and financial systems. The B.A.M. project
uses the ASTM AnIML XML data exchange standard, proposed Laboratory
Performance Markup Language (LabPML), and the Service in Management
Performance Markup Language (SiMPL) for tracking usage, productivity,
and performance. More information is available at exhibition
booth #535 and in the poster session entitled "Real-time
Monitoring of in Process Laboratory Experimentation".
