SUMMARY:Graduate Student Seminar Series - Pratik Kumar Mishra
DESCRIPTION:Graduate Student Seminar Series\nPlease ensure you invite your Principal Investigator by adding their email via the ‘Add Guest’ button and they will also be notified of your presentation.\nLocation: HS610 – 155 College St\, Room 610\nPresentation Title: Unsupervised Deep Learning Approaches for Detection of Behaviours of Risk in People with Dementia\nAbstract: Behavioural symptoms of dementia present a significant risk within Long Term Care (LTC) homes\, which face difficulties supporting residents and monitoring their safety with limited staffing resources. Many LTC facilities have installed video surveillance systems in common areas that are meant to help staff observe residents; however\, typically these video streams are not monitored. In my research\, I present the use of these video streams to detect episodes of clinically important agitation in people with dementia. Given that episodes of agitation are rare in comparison to normal behaviours\, we formulated this as an anomaly detection problem. This involves using the video camera to monitor the scene rather than tracking individuals. We developed a customized spatio-temporal convolution autoencoder that is trained on the normal behaviours and then identified agitation during testing as anomalous behaviour. The video data was collected from a specialized dementia unit and annotated for agitation events. This research paves the way for leveraging existing surveillance infrastructure in LTC and other mental health settings to detect agitation or aggression\, with the potential for improved health and safety.\nSupervisor Name: Shehroz Khan\, Alex Mihailidis\nYear of Study: 4\nProgram of Study: PhD\nReschedule Reason: Venue and time change of BME Seminars\nPowered by Calendly.com

SUMMARY:Microfluidic Systems for Cell Biology and Translation into Practice - Majid Warkian
DESCRIPTION:When: October 10\, 2024 @ 2:00 pm \nLocation: 160 College Street\, Toronto \n                  CCBR Red Room \nAbstract:\nMicrofluidics\, a technology characterized by the engineered manipulation of fluids at the microscale\, has shown considerable promise in point-of-care diagnostics and clinical research. By offering precise control over the cellular microenvironment\, microfluidic platforms are becoming valuable tools for cell biologists to further their understanding of complex biological systems. The miniaturization of macroscopic systems and the ability for massive parallel processing make microfluidic chips particularly well-suited for high-throughput biological experiments. These chips can enable diverse applications\, including particle/cell sorting\, single cell analysis\, digital PCR\, drug screening\, etc. Over the past decade\, my group has developed several microfluidic systems\, which are translated into practice. During this seminar\, I will showcase our contributions to rare cell sorting (liquid biopsy)\, sperm analysis (IVF)\, and drug screening. \nBiography:\nDr Warkiani is a Professor and CINSW Fellow in the School of Biomedical Engineering\, University of Technology Sydney (UTS)\, Australia. He received his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Nanyang Technological University (NTU\, Singapore)\, and undertook postdoctoral training at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT\, USA). Dr. Warkiani is the co-director of the Institute for Biomedical Materials & Devices (IBMD) at UTS and the co-founder of two startups\, NeoGenix Biosciences (https://www.neogenixbiosciences.com/) and SMART MCs (https://smartmcs.com.au/). \nDr Warkiani’s current research activities focus on three key areas of (i) Microfluidics involving the design and development of novel microfluidic systems for particle and cell sorting (e.g.\, circulating tumor cells\, fetal cells & stem cells) for diagnostic and therapeutic applications\, (ii) Organoid-on-a-chips involving the fabrication and characterization of novel 3D lab-on-a-chip systems to model physiological functions of tissues and organs\, and (iii) 3D micro-printing involving the design and development of novel miniaturized systems (e.g.\, micromixers\, micro-cyclones) for basic and applied research. \nGroup webpage: www.warkianilab.com

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Seminar Series - Vishal Pendse
DESCRIPTION:Graduate Student Seminar Series\nPlease ensure you invite your Principal Investigator by adding their email via the ‘Add Guest’ button and they will also be notified of your presentation.\nLocation: HS610 – 155 College St\, Room 610\nPresentation Title: Partial Automation of Prosthetic Socket Design through Digital Technologies\nAbstract:\nThe prosthetic socket is an important interface between a residual limb and prosthesis. Its fabrication traditionally relies on manual plaster casting\, which is subjective and time-consuming. Digital socket design—utilizing 3D scanning\, software-based rectification\, and 3D printing—offers a more efficient approach; however\, it has been difficult to translate the manual\, hands-on skills of clinicians to software on a computer screen. This study addresses this gap by aiming to create a digital shape library of transradial residual limbs and their corresponding sockets\, which can be used by prosthetists as an evidence-based reference system when designing a new client’s prosthesis. A matching algorithm will be developed to categorize limbs based on certain shape parameters; this algorithm can be used to match a new client’s residual limb with one from the developed library\, whose corresponding socket shape can be used as a smart template\, which acts as a validated basis for digital socket design. Preliminary results indicate that this matching algorithm can be based on i) normalizing the models according to their length; ii) slicing the model along the vertical axis to obtain 2D regions; and iii) comparing these 2D regions using certain parameters\, including the Sørenson–Dice coefficient\, circularity\, and cross-sectional area. Sockets fabricated using this method will be validated both qualitatively (using the socket comfort score and QUEST questionnaire) and quantitatively (through shape comparisons with traditionally fabricated sockets). This initial library will be continuously updated with new shapes and data obtained through collaboration and continued patient care. The templatization of socket design can decrease the frequency of patient visits\, improve patient outcomes through increased standardization\, and significantly reduce clinicians’ workloads by simplifying software-based rectification. Furthermore\, its incorporation into digital socket design workflows can increase accessibility to healthcare\, particularly in remote or resource-deprived regions.\nSupervisor Name: Jan Andrysek\nYear of Study: 2\nProgram of Study: PhD\nPowered by Calendly.com

SUMMARY:Recent Developments in Zwitterionic Materials and Drug Delivery Systems
DESCRIPTION:Special Seminar\nDate: Friday November 1\, 2024 \nTime: 11:00am – 12:00pm \nLocation: Donnelly Centre\, 160 College Street\, 2nd Floor\, Red Seminar Room \nHost: Molly Shoichet \nSpeaker: Dr. Shaoyi Jiang\, PhD Cornell University \n“Recent Developments in Zwitterionic Materials and Drug Delivery Systems”\nHighly biocompatible zwitterionic materials have been applied to implants\, medical devices\, human induced pluripotent stem cell cultures\, drug delivery carriers\, and marine coatings. I will give a brief update on recent developments in zwitterionic materials\, particularly how zwitterionic materials are used to solve three major problems faced by lipid nanoparticles for mRNA delivery: (a) reactogenicity and immunogenicity; (b) low efficacy\, and (c) lack of organ-targeting (e.g.\, lymph nodes\, the spleen\, and bone marrow) and cell-targeting (e.g.\, macrophages and NK cells) for cancer immunotherapy\, autoimmune disease vaccine and genome editing applications. While LNPs are biomimetic\, endogenous virus-like vesicles (VLVs)\, derived from native components within the human body\, are an alternative approach. We have demonstrated the success of VLVs in transporting mRNA across the blood-brain barrier into neurons\, delivering hydrophobic small molecule drugs directly into triple-negative breast cancer cells and enhancing T cell activation for cancer vaccines. Collectively\, these advances highlight the transformative potential of LNP and VLV-based therapies in revolutionizing drug delivery and treatment modalities for complex diseases. \nBiography \nShaoyi Jiang joined the Meinig School of Biomedical Engineering at Cornell as the Robert Langer ’70 Family and Friends Professor in June 2020. Before Cornell\, he was the Boeing-Roundhill Professor of Engineering in the Department of Chemical Engineering and an adjunct professor of Bioengineering at the University of Washington\, Seattle. He received his Ph.D. degree in chemical engineering from Cornell University in 1993. He was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of \nCalifornia\, Berkeley between 1993 and 1994 and a research fellow at California Institute of Technology between 1994 and 1996 both in chemistry. He is currently a member of the National Academy of Inventors\, a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)\, a fellow of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE)\, a fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE)\, an executive editor for Langmuir\, and an associate editor for Science Advances. He received the Braskem Award for Excellence in Materials Engineering and Science\, AIChE (2017). His research focuses on biomaterials and drug delivery\, particularly highly biocompatible zwitterionic materials and low- immunogenic / targeted drug delivery carriers.

SUMMARY:A novel virtual reality device for balance and sensorimotor assessment and rehabilitation: Custom-designed software and commercial hardware integration for biomedical applications - Geoffrey Wright
DESCRIPTION:Speaker\nGeoffrey Wright\nProfessor \nCollege of Public Health\nTemple University \n\nAbstract\nThis novel application of virtual reality (VR) head-mounted display (HMD) technology has been designed as a balance assessment device that establishes a method of assessing fall-risk by using a series of automated postural tests with different levels of somatosensory\, visual\, and visual-vestibular reliability. Our other automated VR-based tools for assessment of vestibular and oculomotor function further establish the sensorimotor integrity of these balance-related processes. We have established construct and criterion-measure validity against the research-grade laboratory measurement devices\, such as motion capture cameras and force-plates and the gold-standard in clinical posturography (Neurocom)\, and to commonly used clinical assessments\, such as the Berg Balance Test\, Tinetti test\, TUG\, VOMS\, vHIT\, and DVAT. The construct validity of our assessment approach has been validated in various populations such as veterans\, concussion\, vestibular issues\, PTSD\, veterans\, and older adults with fall risk. Accurate and expedient diagnosis significantly increases a clinician’s ability to plan the most effective treatment plan. Following assessment\, providing custom-designed rehabilitation tools that are gamified\, progressive\, automated\, and specifically targeted to identified deficits\, a patient’s treatment can be motivating\, quantified and recorded\, and more effective. In summary\, by creating portable\, easy-to-use\, accessible tools\, such solutions can be incorporated into the clinical care pipeline even in remote\, austere\, or underserved communities and facilities.

Given that PDT and photo-induced HT share treatment delivery methods\, an opportunity for advancing efficacy exists in their combination. We showcase the benefits of combining PDT and HT through computer simulations\, as well as in-vitro and in-vivo models.\nSupervisor Name: Dr. Kazuhiro Yasufuku & Dr. Robert Weersink\nYear of Study: 4\nProgram of Study: PhD\nPowered by Calendly.com
