Christopher Bradburne, Senior Scientist at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory

Chris’ professional experience includes academia, industry, and the US defense community, with technical expertise in the fields of molecular biology, nanotechnology, genomics/genetics, personalized medicine, bioinformatics, biodefense, infectious diseases, environmental microbiology, and astrobiology. Chris serves as the Chief Scientist of the National Security Systems Biology Center (NS2BC), in the Asymmetric Operations Sector at the JHU Applied Physics Lab. Chris serves or has served as a research lead for the USAF Personalized Medicine Program, the US Army Center for Environmental Health Research, and many efforts involving genomics of biodefense detection and threat mitigation throughout the DoD. Since 2011, he has led an ongoing astrobiology project with the APL Space Department, seeking to develop an automated platform for microbial DNA sample prep and DNA sequencing, which could be flown on a lander or atmospheric sampling mission. He has been funded through the NASA Astrobiology Institute, and is currently affiliated with the Institute for Planets and Life, at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Md.

About the Project Fair

    

The Engineering Physics Project Fair provides a forum for the interchange of ideas and for the reinforcement of technological networks between students and faculty at UBC, local industry, and government support agencies.  The Project Fair brings together participants to review current developments as presented by our invited speakers, as well as being a showcase for the 120 senior Engineering Physics students and the projects undertaken in the Project Laboratory during the past year in an interactive poster session and award-winning student presentations.

 

Please consider attending and meeting our senior class – this is an opportunity to meet our students in person and to review their project work firsthand.
