>ABSTRACT:
>
>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.
>

>SPEAKER BACKGROUND:
>
>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.
