Amina A. Qutub, PhD

Associate Professor, Biomedical Engineering

​

Director, UTSA-UT Health Joint Graduate Group in Biomedical Engineering

Dr. Qutub received her Ph.D in Bioengineering from UC-Berkeley and UCSF with a training emphasis on neurobiology and computer science, and a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Rice University. She completed her postdoctoral training in Biomedical Engineering at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.

​

Amina's goal in launching the Quantu Project has been to apply insight gained from fundamental studies on cell communication to transform the treatment of neurological diseases and optimize brain health throughout life.

Dr. Byron L. Long

Research Scientist

Dr. Long is a Research Scientist with 10 years experience in computational systems biology and doctoral training in theoretical computer science.​ Byron received his PhD from Indiana University in Computer Science and B.S. in Engineering from Santa Clara University. He completed his postdoctoral training at Rice University in Biomedical Engineering. Byron's research interests are in artificial intelligence, image processing, and predictive algorithms. Byron has built on his training in logic to develop novel image-analysis programs and rule-based models to study how human cells form tissues.
