IQ (Institute for Quantitative Health Science and Engineering) at MSU

Chris Contag is the founding director of the Institute for Quantitative Health Science and Engineering and the chairperson of the new Department of Biomedical Engineering in the College of Engineering.

Contag was previously a professor in the Departments of Pediatrics, Radiology, Bioengineering and Microbiology and Immunology at Stanford University. He held the titles of associate chief of Neonatal and Developmental Medicine, director of Stanford’s Center for Innovation in In Vivo Imaging and co-director of the Molecular Imaging Program. Among the new faculty recruited to IQ are researchers previously on the faculties at Stanford, Harvard, and Johns Hopkins University.
