Dr. Michael Adeyinka (English version)Once a secondary school teacher of Physics, Biology and Chemistry, Michael proceeded on studying French Language and Civilisation at the University of Sorbonne, (Paris V), France. With proficiency in French as language of instruction, Michael obtained his first University degree in Informatics at the University of Paris, France. His masters degree was centred on the Cellular (Cytological) Pattern Recognition. His later University studies at Université Paris XIII, Villetaneus, were centred on Radiology, Echography, Nuclear Medicine and Quantitative Cytology. As a research University student, Michael was lucky to obtain some practical training in Statistical Pattern Recognition at the laboratory for Medical Informatics (then) of the Free University of Amsterdam (Prof. Gelsema and Prof. Van Bemel). Michael worked as a Research assistant at the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Bobigny, Paris. Under the guidance of Prof. Bisconte, Université de Paris, FR, Prof. Brugal Université de Grenoble, FR. and Prof. Ploem, University of Leiden, NL, Michael defended his Phd programme in Biomedical Engineering at the Universite de Paris XIII, Villetanus. Michael’s research activities were at the time focused on Medical Imagery and particularly Quantitative Cytology. He was active in the design, development and implementation of software-based Cytological Image Analysis Systems. In the eighties, Michael was invited as a guest researcher by the Medical Faculty of the State University of Leiden, The Netherlands. Following the completion of his academic doctor’s degree programme, Michael was retained and employed by the Leiden University. While still inclined to Medical Imagery Research (automatic cancer screening) he developed at this time the LIPS (Leiden Image Processing System) which was the first research activity on the Zeiss Laser Scan Microscope. In the nineties, Michael changed environment and moved on to the LBMI (Laboratory for Biomedical Informatics), which was from onset established in Amersfoort, The Netherlands. He spent the most of his time experimenting the possibility of creating an alliance between the Informatics and Telecommunication (Telematics) on the one hand, and the medical knowledge bank on the other hand. In the nineties, Michael started to design and develop the Dynamic Telepathology and TeleAmbulance Configurations at the LBMI, Amersfoort. The first demonstration of the dynamic Telepathology workstation was accomplished between the LBMI, Amersfoort, NL, and the Belgrano Hospital (Pathology dept. Dr. Rodas, director) Bue nos Aires, Argentina. The Tele-Ambulance was demonstrated to the board of governors of the World Health Organisation, in Geneva, Dutch Ministry of Health, Dutch Police and Ambulance services in C2000, Driebergen etc. In 1995, the 2nd European Telepathology and the first West European Teleambulance configurations were presented by Michael Adeyinka at the International Conference on Telemedicine, Ramada Hotel, Heathrow, London. (Prof. Richard Wotton)In 1995, Michael Adeyinka was appointed by the World Health Organisation (AOI) as one of the 5 International Telemedicine Consultants within the COPINE/ESA/UN project. More still, Michael was in 1996 invited to join the ELISE II European Consortium and contribute his quota to the development of the Electronic Library Image Service for Europe (ELISE). In this regard, Michael developed the Electronic Biomedical Image Bank for Europe. In October 1997, Michael Adeyinka was presented with the 1st price award for the best presentation at the International conference of Medical Informatics, Satu Mare, Romania. Michael presents regularly the results of his research activities at International Conferences on Medical Informatics, Telemedicine and e-health across the globe (North and South America, Asia, West and Central Europe The Scandinavia and South Africa). |
