Mei Chen is a senior scientist at Intel Research Pittsburgh. Her research interests include medical image computing, computer vision, robotics, and machine learning.
Looking back at the genesis of her interest in science Mei recounts, "My parents are both scientists who work in the Chinese Aeronautics Administration. That's like NASA in the US. In China, I did my college education in China before I came to the U.S. for grad school. The cultural revolution was over and China realized it needed to develop technology, so teachers held up people like Madame Curie as a role model for students. I actually once thought I could be like that someday. Now I realize how hard that is. But still, I see the work I'm doing is very significant and helping to save lives."
Mei is a co-investigator of the Interactive Search-Assisted Decision Support (ISADS) project, she has been leading the development of ISADS applications in Dermatology and Ophthalmology. Prior to joining Intel, she was a research scientist at Hewlett-Packard Laboratories from 2001-2006. With a focus on computational photography, technologies she developed have been transferred to five HP products that are on the market. Before her career at HP Labs, Dr. Chen was a Member of Technical Staff at Sarnoff Corporation from 1999-2001, developing innovative video enhancement and rendering technologies. From 1996-1999, during her graduate study at Carnegie Mellon University, she designed a 3-D deformable registration algorithm for medical images that is used by peers today. Dr. Chen is the author of 31 peer-reviewed publications and 16 patents. She holds a Ph.D. and a M.S. from the School of Computer Science in Carnegie Mellon University, and a M.S. and B. S. from Tsinghua University in China.
Mei commenst on her work on computer vision and stemness on the online radio show Future Lab:
What is PRP - Platelet Rich Plasma?
PRP Platelet Rich Plasma is the use of a person’s own blood platelets to enhance hair growth as a stand-alone treatment or to improve the recovery and results of hair transplant surgery. In the field of tissue regeneration, research is continuing to progress regarding the use of PRP’s ability to stimulate stem cells, improve wound healing, and rejuvenate skin and hair follicles.
How is PRP performed as a stand-alone treatment for hair growth?
A small sample of blood is obtained from the patient. This sample is processed in an FDA-cleared device to separate the platelets from other components like red blood cells. Platelets are then chemically ‘activated,’ releasing powerful molecules which have profound biologic effects on hair follicles and skin. Under comfortable local anesthesia, this powerful cocktail of growth factors, cytokines and other proteins is injected into the area of scalp where weak hair follicles exist. Microneedling of the skin is also performed. Mild soreness, if any, resolves in less than a day and improved hair growth can be measured in a matter of weeks.
Is all PRP the same?
Unfortunately not, and this is where it can get confusing for patients (and physicians!). At Bauman Medical Group, we use the FDA approved Autologel PRP process to separate and activate Platelet Rich Plasma for use as a stand-alone therapy or in conjunction with hair transplantation. Bauman Medical Group is proud to be the first complete hair transplant team to be fully certified by Cytomedix to produce Autologel. That means that every member of our team has passed certification for the preparation and application of Autologel PRP. At Bauman Medical Group, we feel that our PRP/ACell protocols are providing significant stimulation of hair growth and hair follicle rejuvenation.

Listen: Kickstart My Heart by Mötley Crüe
One of the things that needed to happen was the insertion of a PICC line. It’s a catheter that was inserted just below my clavicle in a vein, during a minor operation, that collected my stem cells and delivered the chemo directly into my heart. The operation was fast. One moment, while on the operation table, I was considering how I was gonna organize these photos. The next moment I was being removed from the table. I thought they had not done the operation and then I felt pressure under my clavicle of the bandages.

Neurosphere culture. Fluorescent light microscope of a group of neural stem cells (neurosphere) in culture. The stem cells are differentiating into neurons (red) and nerve support cells (green), which are then migrating out of the neurosphere. Cell nuclei, which contain the cell's genetic information, are dyed blue. Intermediate filaments (IFs) are green and beta-tubulin III, one of the proteins that make up microtubules, is red. IFs and microtubules are part of the cell's cytoskeleton, which is responsible for intracellular transport, cell structure and motility.

This wonderful dress is part of an exhibit at the Ontario Science Centre, entitled The Beauty of Stem Cells - Fashion Inspired by Stem Cell Research. Unfortunately, I completely failed to photograph much else of it, but there were several other unusual pieces of clothing, and a series of rather nice photomicrographs by Craig Aarts and Radha Chaddah of the Stem Cell Network.
I also completely neglected to record who designed this elegant gown, but it was one of the following students of the fashion program at the RCC Institute of Technology in Toronto:
Muhammad Alamgir / Gulmairam Amankogoeva / Hilary Birkenshaw / Elissa Contino / Liliane Fotso / Julie Hodge / Lena Meier / Sveta Shvedenkova
I'm going to have to get back to this, I think. The exhibit and many other stem cell-related things are on until October the first. More info at bit.ly/rpb68Q and bit.ly/naZGHu.

A hair follicle (stained for E-cadherin, green) from a mouse whose skin lacks Runx1 in its mesenchymal layer shows ectopic expression of the transcription factor Lef1 (red) in the hair follicle stem cell compartment. Osorio et al. reveal that mesenchymal Runx1 suppresses epithelial Lef1 expression during embryonic development to guide the specification and maintenance of adult hair follicle stem cells.

Monday is going to be a big day for me. I've just had 4 days of injections to stimulate the growth of my stemcells and tomorrow I'm off to Bristol by ambulance (a 3 hour journey from here) where they will put me on a special machine which will collect my stemcells for storage until the time comes when it's safe to return them back into my body. In the next few weeks I will be admitted to Cheltenham Hospital where I will receive a strong dose of chemotherapy to kill off any remaining cancer cells before my stemcells are then returned to me.
I could be on the machine for several hours tomorrow whilst the stemcells are collected and I'm praying that they will be able to get the required amount in one session, otherwise I will have to make the same journey again the next day! David will of course be beside me keeping me company whilst I go through this procedure...I don't know how I would get through all this without him! Anyway please keep me in your thoughts and pray that I only have to make the one visit to Bristol. Thanks for your continued support everybody. ♥

Jaina Lefevre tucks her doll carefully in her backpack and puts it under the table, safely out of the way. She takes her headset off and puts it in the bag as well.
Jaina Lefevre is more than a litlte scared when she gets in to the table, but she swallows and looks over at Lilli. "Holds my hand, please?"
Lilliane Ackerman curls fingers around the girl’s waist and lifts her to the platform. “Alright hon, lie down and I’ll get you strapped in.” She flashes what she hopes is a comforting smile as she secures the bindings accordingly. “Of course I’ll hold your hand.” She avoids looking into the child’s features, ignoring a brief but powerful maternal stirring that had been dormant for many many years. “Alright, Aylin.” She lifts her voice to be heard from outside the room. “Ready when you are.”
Jaina Lefevre closes her eyes and holds Lilli's hand tightly, and you can hear her faintly whisper-singing "..suh..ny days...sweepin' the ...clouds a-ways....on my way..." Jaina's 'be brave' song.
Wesley Edenbaum shuffles from foot to foot and looks at Lilliane. "So how can I assist you Ma'am?"
Aylin Daviau: "I am ready I beleive" she said, then began to head to the corner to quickly change into her coat..she had all she needed prepared already, now it was only a matter of a few simple injections, the stemcells had been infused with an agent also, so rather than requiring further treatments, unless something went wrong of course they should simply multiply within her system, keeping the muscles stronger and hopefully healing slightly faster also.
Lilliane Ackerman: “Ask her.” Tilts her head toward Aylin in response to Wesley’s query. Eyes drop to the girl as she begins singing, the action inspiring a pang within the pit of her stomach. What the hell was happening to her? Where was her detachment? Her edge? These thoughts encourage a frown to lay claim to her features as she gives the girl’s hand a light squeeze. “It’s okay, Jaina. It will be over soon.”
Jaina Lefevre keeps whisper-singing and her face turned towards Lilli. She's scared...really really scared...but she's trying her best to be brave. It's been a little easier these days..to be brave. But the scaries...they keep getting bigger.
Wesley Edenbaum feels his heart jump a beat as he looks at Jaina. He slowly pushes his shades up and walks over to her, whispering "Don't worry... it's all going to be alright"
Aylin Daviau hardly glanced at the child, nor would she listen to her quiet singing?..she simply approached the small medical fridge instead and typed in a code which would allow it to open for her..she removed a small steel tray, laying upon it was two syringes, dotted with condensation she brought these to the table...placed the tray on the edge of it before she lifted the first one containing the steroid infused nanites, programmed to multiply and continuousy through the girls system until they were told to do other wise...the syringe was huge and she lowered it toward the girls neck, the large vein visable there before she attempted to push it in..she looked at her with no expression really, doing her job, this was all it was to her and nothing more.
Jaina Lefevre cries out as the needle pierces her neck, her whole body tensing at the thrust. Tears start to fill her eyes and trickle down to soak her hair, her song stuttering to a stop. Fingers clutching Lilli's hand clutch tighter and she lets out a soft, sob-stuttered breath. "hh..hurtsss..."
Wesley Edenbaum leans over the lab table and whispers. "Shhh... it's alright, it'll be over soon"
Aylin Daviau creases her brow and she appeared on the surface to be oblivious to much around her other than the procedure she was carrying out..now she had the syringe in place she pushed it in as deep as it could go, before she would depress the plunger....forcing the contents into the girls system "It will take effect imediately however, it is gradual, perhaps the full effect not visable for another week" she said, beginning to withdraw the first syringe.
Jaina Lefevre 's eyes shift from Lilli to Wesley as he speaks and she starts to shiver as the needle is depressed. Her teeth start chattering and her eyes seem to darken as the pupils dilate. She looks at him for a long, long moment, then slowly closes her eyes, still shivering.
Wesley Edenbaum pales and pulls a hershey bar out of his pocket, placing it in Jaina's free hand, then turns and rushes out, muttering "I... have to go"
