Dr. Lam is an expert in combinatorial chemistry, chemical biology, drug development, molecular imaging, nanotherapeutics and medical oncology. Dr. Lam leads a very active research laboratory. He invented the one-bead-one-compound combinatorial library method. Many new advances in the chemical synthesis, encoding, screening and polymer support of the OBOC technology were developed in his laboratory. Dr.
Professor Emeritus Lewis Lancaster
Lewis Lancaster, a specialist in the canons of Buddhist texts, was the first student to complete the Ph.D. in Buddhist Studies at the University of Wisconsin. He taught at the University of California, Berkeley, for 33 years, with five years as Chair. By means of a grant from the National Geographic Society, he and a group of students and faculty inventoried texts in monasteries among the Sherpa people in the Himalayas. He then began to research the problems of converting Buddhist texts from Pali and Chinese into computer format, which resulted in major CD ROM databases.
