BISP member Bahram Parvin and colleagues at Berkeley lab win 2014 R&D 100 Awards. Presented by R&D Magazine, the R&D 100 Awards recognize the year’s top 100 technology products from industry, academia, and government-sponsored research, ranging from chemistry
to materials to biomedical breakthroughs. Parvin and colleagues developed BioSig3D, a computational platform for high-content screening of
three-dimensional cell culture models that are imaged in full 3-D volume.
