The ICT for Life Sciences Forum will be given a rescheduled presentation by Professor Stan Skafidas of NICTA on Artificial Silicon Retina: the role of microelectronics in restoring vision loss. Professor Skafidas is Australia's leading designer and developer of high-speed wireless integrated circuits, having led the development of the world's first integrated transceiver on CMOS operating at 60GHz in February 2008. This breakthrough in wireless technology is the basis for the development of a retinal prosthesis, or bionic eye, to treat forms of degenerative vision loss such as Age Related Macular Degeneration and Retinitis Pigmentosa. Professor Skafidas leads the development of a retinal prosthesis as a member of Bionic Vision Australia (http://www.bionicvision.org.au/), a partnership of leading Australian research institutions collaborating to develop an advanced bionic eye. In this presentation, Professor Skafidas will describe the advanced electronics system required for such a device and the progress his team is making in its design and development. The event will be held on Monday, 6th July, commencing at 5 pm with the serving of finger food and refreshments with the presentation to commence at 6 pm.
