SUMMARY:Invited Academic Seminar Series - Zhi Pei Liang- Ultrafast Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Imaging for Brain Mapping  (Virtual Delivery with an in-person streaming option)
DESCRIPTION:*** This talk will be delivered virtually\, however the presentation will be streamed in the DC Red Room for those wanting to attend ‘in-person’. Cookies and coffee will be provided for attendees. ***\n\nSpeaker\nZhi Pei Liang\nFranklin W. Woeltge Professor\nDepartment of Electrical and Computer Engineering\nUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign \n\nAbstract\nSince its invention in the early 1970s\, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become a premier tool for structural imaging and functional imaging using water proton spin signals. MR spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) has also long been recognized as a potentially powerful tool for noninvasive molecular imaging by exploiting the spin signals from other molecules. However\, state-of-the-art MRSI methods\, after more than four decades of development\, still far short of providing adequate spatial resolution\, speed\, and signal-to-noise ratio useful for routine clinical applications. \n  \nThe talk will discuss our recent “breakthroughs” in overcoming the longstanding technical barriers of MRSI-based molecular imaging using a new technology known as SPICE (SPectroscopic Imaging by exploiting spatiospectral CorrElation). SPICE uses a subspace mathematical framework to effectively integrate rapid scanning\, sparse sampling\, constrained image reconstruction\, quantum simulation\, and machine learning. Preliminary results show an unprecedented capability for simultaneous mapping of brain structures\, function and metabolism using intrinsic spin signals from multiple molecules. In this talk\, I’ll give an overview of SPICE and also show some “SPICY” experimental results we have obtained. \n  \nBiographical Sketch:\nZhi-Pei Liang received his Ph.D. degree in Biomedical Engineering from Case Western Reserve University in 1989.  He subsequently joined the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) first as a postdoctoral fellow (supervised by late Nobel Laureate Paul Lauterbur) and then as a faculty member in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Dr. Liang is currently the Franklin W. Woeltge Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering; he also chairs the Computational Imaging Group in the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology.   Dr. Liang’s research is in the general area of magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy\, ranging from spin physics\, signal processing\, machine learning\, to biomedical applications. Research from his group has received a number of recognitions\, including the Sylvia Sorkin Greenfield Award (Medical Physics\, 1990)\, Whitaker Biomedical Engineering Research Award (1991)\, NSF CAREER Award (1995)\, Henry Magnuski Scholar Award (UIUC\, 1999)\, University Scholar Award (UIUC\, 2001)\, Isidor I. Rabi Award (International Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine\, 2009)\, IEEE-EMBC Best Paper Awards (2010\, 2011\, 2021)\, IEEE-ISBI Best Paper Award (2010\, 2015)\, Otto Schmitt Award (International Federation for Medical and Biological Engineering\, 2012)\, Technical Achievement Award (IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society\, 2014)\, Andrew Yang Research Award (UIUC\, 2017) and the Gold Medal from the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (2022). Dr. Liang was selected as the Paul C. Lauterbur Lecturer for the 2016 ISMRM meeting and as the Savio L. Woo Distinguished Lecturer for the 2017 WACBE World Congress on Bioengeering.  He is a Fellow of the IEEE\, the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine and the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering. He was elected to the International Academy of Medical and Biological Engineering in 2012 and to the US National Academy of Inventors in 2021. Dr. Liang served as President of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society from 2011-2012 and received its Distinguished Service Award in 2015.  He was elected Chair-elect of the International Academy of Medical and Biological Engineering in 2021. \n\nHost\nHai-Ling Margaret Cheng

SUMMARY:Compositional And Structural Gradients In Dental Enamel: From Nano- To Mesoscale
DESCRIPTION:Derk Joester\, PhD.\nAssociate Professor \nDepartment of Materials Science & Engineering Northwestern University \nEvanston\, IL\, USA \nCompositional And Structural Gradients In Dental Enamel: From Nano- To Mesoscale\nTuesday October 11\, 2022 \n12:00 pm \nBiography: Derk Joester is originally from Munich (Bavaria\, Germany) and studied Chemistry in Tübingen. He travelled to the US on a Fulbright Scholarship to study Chemistry and Biochemistry\, and then went on to get his Diploma in Organic Chemistry at ETH Zurich\, Switzerland\, in 1998. He received his Ph.D. for work carried out in organic\, supra-molecular chemistry with Prof. François Diederich at ETH Zurich in 2003\, and in the same year became a Postdoctoral Fellow at Weizmann Institute of Science in the lab of Prof. Lia Addadi in the Department of Structural Biology. From 2005-2007 he continued his research at the Weizmann Institute as a Minerva Fellow. In September 2007 he accepted a position at the Materials Science & Engineering Department at Northwestern University\, Evanston\, Illinois. In 2013\, he was promoted to Associate Professor. His research interests include biological mechanisms of crystal growth\, the role of organic/inorganic interfaces and confinement in phase transformations\, metastable precursor phases\, and the structure and properties biomineral-organic composites with hierarchical architectures. \nAbstract: Dental enamel\, the hard\, wear-resistant covering of human teeth has a hierarchical structure and composition. It is composed of hydroxylapatite crystallites\, thousands of which are bundled into rods that are organized in a three-dimensional weave. This architecture provides great fracture resistance and a much- enhanced fatigue life. It has long been known that the susceptibility of enamel to caries\, i.e. acid corrosion\, is greatly dependent on the presence of magnesium\, iron\, carbonate\, and fluoride ions. However\, imaging the distribution of these minor components in enamel has remained challenging.

SUMMARY:Beyond Academia - Betty Zou\, PhD Research and Communications Specialist\, University of Toronto and Adriana Suarez-Gonzalez\, PhD Science and Technology Advisor\, 10X Genomics
DESCRIPTION:About the series\nTo what extent can we plan and design our careers? How much depends on our environment\, the choices we make\, the opportunities that present themselves\, the networks we build\, and the achievements and failures we experience along the way? Medicine by Design and Stem Cell Network have partnered to host Careers Beyond Academia\, a virtual career seminar series that will profile a wide variety of different careers available to trainees who hold a degree in the life sciences. The goal of the series is to help trainees understand the different careers available outside of academia\, the skills required for certain positions\, and some of the daily functions of those positions.\n Virtual Event – Register Here\nSpeakers:\nBetty Zou\, PhDResearch and Communications Specialist\, University of Toronto\nAdriana Suarez-Gonzalez\, PhDScience and Technology Advisor\, 10X Genomics\nEach session will feature two speaker presentations that will be recorded and available on both Medicine by Design and Stem Cell Network’s website and YouTube channel. Trainees will be able to participate in a joint Q&A and panel discussion during the session.\n
