Jesse Wei – MRI Physics: The Movie(s)
Category: Resident
Attempts to overcome a growing deficit in medical education by producing 18 interactive computer generated animations, emphasizing the time complexity of the MRI process. The animations start with the basics and gradually build
on the fundamentals to facilitate a comprehensive understanding of this complex technology.
Elliot Servais – Argus
Category: Student
Software for efficiently and effectively turning microarray data into biological insights. Measuring the expression of one gene, or even a handful of genes, is like looking at the complexity of cellular activity through a keyhole. In designing
Argus, the overriding goals were to create software that (1) can be used by a non-specialist, (2) is broadly accessible to the community, and (3) presents data in a fashion most useful to the end user. To these ends, Argus produces a Web-browsable
database that can be searched locally or over the internet by anyone with a Web browser.
