Dr. Terry Peters is a Scientist in the Imaging Research Laboratories at the Robarts Research Institute, London, ON, Canada, and Professor in the Departments of Medical Imaging and Medical Biophysics at the University of Western Ontario. Dr. Peters received his graduate training at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand in Electrical Engineering. His PhD work resolved fundamental issues in Computed Tomography and resulted in a seminal paper on the topic in 1971, just prior to the beginning of CT’s commercial development and worldwide application. For the past 30 years, his research has focused on the application of computational hardware and software advances to medical imaging modalities in surgery and therapy. At the Montreal Neurological Institute, Dr. Peters’ lab pioneered many of the image-guidance techniques and applications that are used for the surgical treatment of epilepsy and Parkinson’s Disease. In 1997, Dr. Peters joined the Robarts Research Institute and his lab has expanded over the past eleven years to encompass image-guided procedures of the heart, brain and abdomen. He is an executive member of the board of the MICCAI society and one of the pioneers of modern computer-assisted intervention.
PhD
Dr. Hallett is Director of the McGill Centre for Bioinformatics, an associate member of the Department of Biochemistry, and an associate professor in the School of Computer Science. He started working in bioinformatics 12 years ago as a postdoctoral researcher at the ETH Zurich, Switzerland. Since arriving at McGill, he and his group have been primarily interested in modelling the endoplasmic reticulum and breast cancer, through various high-throughput approaches including gene expression, aCGH, microRNA, ChIP-Chip, and methyl microarrays and chemical screening.
