Join the faculty and graduate students in biomedical visualization at UIC on October 23 and 24 as we host the 2008 Frank Armitage Lecturer, Dr. W. Paul Brown of Stanford University and president/founder of eHuman.
From the world-renowned Bassett Collection of human dissections to the newest technologies created to view scanned anatomy in endless “inner views,” Paul Brown is a visionary worthy of the Armitage name.
Dr. Brown is also a Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of the Pacific and the University of California- San Francisco. He has been the Principal Investigator on 8 NIH grants involved with medical imaging, virtual reality and simulations. Brown was in the private practice of clinical endodontics in Palo Alto, California, for 27 years. 
Since 1982 he has been the endodontist for the San Francisco Zoo and Marine World/Africa USA where he has developed highly specialized surgical instruments as well as performed endodontic and oral surgery procedures on exotic animals. He has given numerous presentations on endodontics, anatomy, and surgery, and has participated in programs for National Geographic and The Learning Channel. He was the principal investigator for a research project for Alara Corp., Hayward, CA producing a comprehensive comparison of dental digital X-ray systems.
Dr. Brown was a lead investigator in an extensive and detailed reconstruction of an Egyptian mummy, using the most advanced digital techniques to provide a unique inside view and exploration.
