Scripps Institute
Carl and Richard interview Peter Kuhn from the Scripps Institute about an application he designed to allow cancer researchers to visualize molecules and annotate them with real time collaboration. The application was written with beta versions of WPF, and champoined by Tim Huckaby's team at Interknowlogy and evangelized by Eileen Rumwell and Stephen Forte. This is an amazing success story.
 Peter Kuhn is an associate professor in the department of cell biology at the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, Calif. He also serves as life sciences director at the Scripps PARC Institute for Advanced Biomedical Sciences. Since joining Scripps Research in 2002, Kuhn has focused his research on developing novel approaches to therapeutic and diagnostic development in cancer and viral infections. His research has led to the structural elucidation and characterization of drug targets implicated in cancer, the structural description of numerous proteins of the SARS Coronavirus, and the identification and characterization of cancer cells in blood circulation. Kuhn previously was an assistant professor at Stanford University’s Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory; and an assistant professor of structural biology at Stanford University Medical School, where he co-founded and co-lead the Joint Center for Structural Genomics within the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center at Stanford University; Kuhn holds a doctorate from the Wadsworth Center at the New York State Department of Health and the State University of New York (SUNY). He also holds a master’s degree in physics from SUNY and a bachelor’s degree in physics from Julius Maximillians Universität in Würzburg, Germany. The lecture by Dr. Kuhn will focus on the identification of circulating tumor cells in human blood using a novel technology approach, testing this approach, and applying it to the morphologic characterization of cancer cells from varying tissue origins.
