Dr. Yitzhak Rosen, MD, is a graduate of the Tel Aviv University of Medicine. He is currently working in the Cardiology Department at SUNY Downstate Medical Center. He was previously a visiting research scientist at the Institute for Soldier Nanotechnologies, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is also the president and CEO of Superior NanoBioSystems LLC, a biomedical company. He has served in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) as a medical officer and physician in militarily active areas. He completed a medical internship at the Rabin Medical Center and has worked at the Oncology Institutes of both the Rabin and the Sheba Medical Centers in Israel. He has invented a microfluidic chip platform, funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), for effecting extremely rapid blood typing and cross-matching for mass casualties in collaboration with the MEMS and Nanotechnology Exchange. In addition, he is the inventor of several medical ultrasound technologies.
Dr. Pablo Gurman received his MD from Buenos Aires University School of Medicine in 2002, where he worked at the Pharmacology Department for 10 years. Dr. Gurman is currently the Chief Medical Officer of GearJump Technologies, a biotechnology company dedicated to develop innovative solutions to public health problems. Prior to this appointment, Dr. Gurman was a research scientist at the Materials Science and Engineering Department at the University of Texas-Dallas, as well as research collaborator at Dr. Elman’s group at the Institute for Soldiers Nanotechnologies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Dr. Gurman was a visiting scientist at Argonne National Laboratory, where he worked under the artificial retina program. Dr. Gurman’s primary research interests involves micro and nanotechnology for medical diagnostics and therapeutics, controlled release technologies and biomaterials.
