The Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation announced today that José-Angel Conchello, Ph.D., has joined its faculty. Conchello comes to OMRF from Washington University in St. Louis and has joined OMRF’s Molecular and Cell Biology Research Program as an associate member.
Conchello received his Ph.D. in Engineering Sciences from Dartmouth College and is considered one of the leading experts in methods for computational image processing—the use of mathematical models to understand and manipulate image formation by the light microscope. The goal of his research is to devise new methods of acquiring and processing light microscope images.
“These methods are of substantial and growing importance in biomedical research,” said Philip Silverman, Ph.D., who heads OMRF’s Molecular and Cell Biology Research Program. “Dr. Conchello is regarded as an unusually gifted theoretician, an excellent teacher and an invaluable colleague. We are extremely excited to welcome him to OMRF.”
Chartered in 1946, the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation is a private, nonprofit biomedical research institute dedicated to basic research, education and finding better treatments for a wide range of diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, cardiovascular disease, cancer, arthritis and lupus.
