Since the summer of 2005
Previously Nenad was the system architect and manager of the
Cellular Imaging team, leading the development of the ImageXpress
5000 software at Axon Instruments and
later at Molecular Devices.
ImageXpress 5000 software was a result of a five year effort to develop a
comprehensive, enterprise level solution for acquisition and automated analysis
for cell-based drug discovery. As a software architect Nenad directed a team of
engineers to build bioinformatics high-content database, image analysis engine,
and automation software infrastructure. He also actively contributed to the
development of software for advanced visualization, machine learning and
cell-based assays. Before taking over imaging software at Axon Instruments,
Nenad developed a hardware-based transient cancellation algorithm for the new
generation of patch clamp amplifiers (MultiClamp
product family), as well as the algorithm for adaptive interference filtering
for electrophysiology recordings (Clampfit).
Before joining Axon he developed the S-Probe software for real time movement
frequency analysis in microscopy imaging of tissues at the Bookman Lab,
Prior to moving to the United States in 1998, Nenad co-founded TehnoCAD, a software company for computer aided design. While at TehnoCAD, he directed software development of various commercial applications in structural engineering, numerical methods, image analysis and medical imaging databases.
Nenad started his career as a research engineer at the
Current interests include image
analysis, automated imaging, cellular-informatics and pattern recognition with
applications in high-content screening and drug discovery. Nenad is a member of
the IEEE since 1988.
