Michael O’Connell Ph.D.
Dr. Michael J. O’Connell, protégé of the late father of nanotechnology, Richard Smalley, now leads a team of nanotech researchers at Theranos Inc., a firm exploring ways to apply nano-bio techniques to combat adverse drug reactions (ADRs). O'Connell's work focuses on using CNTs and other nano-bio tools to provide real-time insight into how individuals react to prescribed medicines. The goal: to flag ADRs or adverse interactions between multiple drugs immediately, and to help physicians and drug companies improve risk profiles on prescription medicines. Dr. O’Connell graduated with a B.S. in biochemistry and molecular biology from the EducationPh.D, Rice UniversityCareer HighlightsDr. O’Connell has numerous patents and publications in the nanotech field.. O’Connell’s many accomplishments include the Director of Central Intelligence Postdoctoral Fellowship from 2003 to 2005. He has been a Los Alamos National Laboratory Director’s Postdoctoral Fellow in 2003, a Los Alamos National Laboratory Postdoctoral Fellow in 2003, a Welch Fellow of Rice University from 2000 to 2002, and a President’s Undergraduate Fellow of theAwardsDr. O’Connell He wrote “4-centimeter- Long Carbon Nanotubes” for Nanotech Briefs that won the Nano 50 Award in 2005. He was honored with the College Eight Research Award from the University of California–Santa Cruz from 1997 to 1998 and is a member of the Phi Lambda Upsilon Honor Society.

Related ContentNIST 'Nanotubes on a Chip' Aims To Lead Power MeasurementsA novel chip-scale instrument made from carbon nanotubes may simplify absolute measurements of laser power. Developers of the unit at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) say it may prove especially useful for measuring light signals transmitted by optical fibers in telecom networks.
Materials in Biology and MedicineWhile the interdisciplinary field of materials science and engineering is relatively new, remarkable developments in materials have emerged for biological and medical applications, from biocompatible polymers in medical devices to the use of carbon nanotubes as drug delivery vehicles. Exploring these materials and applications, Materials in Biology and Medicine presents the background and real-world examples of advanced materials in biomedical engineering, biology, and medicine.
