ABSTRACT:<br>
<br>
</font>Network Biosystems is developing large-scale biochip
manufacturing technology for applications in low-cost, denovo whole
genomic sequencing. This talk will discuss the technical
underpinnings and challenges in building commercial systems for
microchip-based electrophoresis.<br>
<br>
<br>
<font face="Arial">SPEAKER BACKGROUND:<br>
<br>
</font>Paul Pyzowski joined Network Biosystems as its President in
September 2002, as the company was opening its office and
manufacturing facility in the city of Woburn. Previously, Paul
was a vice-president, general manager, and executive officer at his
first company, Ansoft (NASDAQ: ANST). Ansoft is a profitable
300-person Carnegie-Mellon spin-out in semiconductor and MEMS design
automation, that Paul joined as an undergraduate when the company was
still operating out of a converted taxi garage. After over five
years living in Japan and Switzerland, Paul moved to Boston and
following a brief stint in corporate turnaround work returned to
his passion of building early stage companies and commercializing new
technologies with the potential to impact human life for the better.
He received his BSEE from Carnegie-Mellon, where he also did graduate
work in electrophysiology and bioengineering, and an MBA from IMD in
Lausanne, Switzerland.<br>
