M Pharmaceutical (CSE:MQ,OTCQB:MPHMF) announced that Dr. Orly Yadid-Pecht is joining its Advisory Board. Dr. Orly Yadid-Pecht has extensive experience in integrated CMOS sensors, smart sensors, image processing, neural networks and micro-nano system implementations, as well as published over 200 journal and conference papers, and produced more than 30 patents.
As quoted in the press release:
“As we enter the key phases of product development and prepare to bring our biomedical technologies to market, we are relying increasingly on the broad base of expertise and experience of our senior leadership team and Advisory Board,” said Dr. Martin Mintchev, President & Chief Executive Officer of M Pharmaceutical, Inc. “I’m particularly delighted to have Dr. Yadid-Pecht on our Advisory Board and know how much added value she will bring to the development and launch of technologies such as the e-Mosquito, our gastro-intestinal neurostimulators and pseudobezoars. We’re only stronger with her kind of international credentials in several of the fields that are at the heart of our product technologies.”
Dr. Yadid-Pecht has an impressive resume spanning her education at Technion – Israeli Institute of Technology and work at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL/ California Institute of Technology (Caltech) as a National Research Council (NRC) Fellow in the United States, along with her tenures at Ben-Gurion University and the University of Calgary.
She received her B.Sc. from the Electrical Engineering Department at Technion, where she went on to complete her M.Sc. in 1990 and D.Sc. in 1995, respectively. She was an NRC research fellow from 1995-1997 in the areas of Advanced Image Sensors at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL)/California Institute of Technology (Caltech). In 1997 she joined Ben-Gurion University in Israel as a member of the Electrical and Electro-Optical Engineering departments. Dr. Yadid-Pecht founded the VLSI Systems Center at Ben-Gurion University, specializing in CMOS Image Sensors.
Dr. Yadid-Pecht joined the University of Calgary as an iCORE Professor of Integrated Sensors and Intelligent Systems (ISIS) in 2009. She received the IEEE Fellowship in 2007, the SPIE Fellowship in 2015 and the ITHEA International Award in Information and Communication Technologies in 2006.
She is a natural fit for the scope and vision of M Pharmaceutical, Inc., given her work in the areas of integrated CMOS sensors, smart sensors, image processing, neural networks and micro-nano system implementations. Dr. Yadid-Pecht has published over 200 peer reviewed journal and conference papers and has produced more than thirty patents. Among her seminal pieces was co-authoring and co-editing the first book on CMOS Image Sensors: “CMOS Imaging: From Photo-transduction to Image Processing”, which was published in 2004.
Dr. Yadid-Pecht has served as an Associate Editor for several IEEE journals. She has also served in the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society Board of Governors, was the IEEE Sensors Council VP Publications in 2011 and was an IEEE distinguished lecturer in 2006. She was also the general chair of the IEEE International Conference on Electronic Circuits and Systems (ICECS) and is currently a member of the steering committee of the conference. Dr. Yadid-Pecht also serves as a director on the board of two companies.
“Our goal is to build out our line of biomedical technologies backed by the best people in the business and Dr. Yadid-Pecht certainly fits the bill,” added Dr. Mintchev.
