Jeffrey Price's Research Focus

The central theme is creation of high performance of image cytometry (AKA, quantitative microscopy, digital pathology, high content screening / assays – HCS/A) instrumentation and algorithms. The instrumentation focus areas include high performance autofocus, high-speed scanning, 3D cytometry and high throughput confocal microscopy. We apply these advances to: genomic and compound HCS/A (for early drug discovery and toxicity); kinetics of fast cellular events (including muscle contraction, cardiomyocyte arrhythmogenicity, neuron action potentials, β-cell insulin release); tracking of cell migration, development/differentiation and cancer progression; ultra-rare circulating tumor cell biology; and histology of cancer biomarkers.

About Jeffrey Price

Experience

Jeffrey H. Price received his M.D. degree from Loma Linda University, Loma Linda, CA, in 1985, and his Ph.D. degree in bioengineering from the University of California, San Diego, in 1990, where he also received his postdoctoral training. In 1993, he was appointed Assistant Project Scientist and, in 1996, Associate Research Scientist. From 1994 to 2004 he directed the NSF-Whitaker Quantitative Imaging and Confocal Microscopy Resource in Bioengineering at UCSD. In 1999 he founded Q3DM, Inc., which marketed his research group’s high throughput microscopy inventions for cell-image-based screening, and which was purchased by Beckman Coulter, Inc. in 2003. In 2004 he Co-Founded Vala Sciences Inc, which develops and markets software and kits for cell-image based assays. He was recruited to the position of Associate Professor at Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute in 2004, where he is a member of the Signal Transduction and Stem Cells and Regeneration Research Programs.
