SUMMARY:BME Student Townhall- Graduate Courses
DESCRIPTION:The BME graduate curriculum committee is reviewing all the graduate courses offered as part of your graduate studies in order to determine whether the current offerings serve you well and whether there are gaps in the offerings.\n\nThus\, the committee would like to consult students in all BME Graduate programs via a Townhall on their experience with the course offerings. Specifically\, the committee is looking to (1) Identify courses that are not popular and the reasons why and (2) Identify courses that students want to take but haven’t been able to (e.g. because they don’t exist\, didn’t fit in schedule\, etc). Additionally\, the committee is looking to present their own suggestions and get feedback from you.\n\nThe Townhall is scheduled for April 25th @ 12-1pm. The event will be hybrid with in-person meeting occurring in MS2173 and zoom information as follows:\n\nZoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89610372821?pwd=azd4SCtYVWtreVovaGNPV1c2NGY2Zz09\nMeeting ID: 896 1037 2821\nPassword: 483329\n\nWe invite all students to submit their feedback via this form ahead of the meeting or after if you are unable to attend: https://forms.office.com/r/J7LVH3cZDE

SUMMARY:Graduate Seminar Series: Clinical Stream - Katsiaryna Kazlovich
DESCRIPTION:Graduate Seminar Series: Clinical Stream\nGraduate Seminar Series for the Institute of Biomedical Engineering (BME). This day is for clinical stream presenters.\nIf you would like to invite your Principal Investigator\, please add their email via the ‘Add Guest’ button and they will also be notified of your presentation.\nPresentation Title: 3D Printing and Surgical Simulation in Thoracic Surgery\nAbstract: Traditional surgical education is changing at a rapid pace. This shift has been influenced by the widespread adoption and availability of rapid manufacturing methods\, such as 3D printing\, and ever-evolving analytical methods for data acquisition and processing. Since the declaration of the COVID-19 global pandemic\, the modern approach to on-site skill development has had to evolve to accommodate limited access to training due to the risk of exposure and scarcity of resources. In many ways\, these changes serve as a catalyst for innovation\, such as the concept of virtual technical skills education. In this seminar\, I am going to showcase various simulation devices and manufacturing methods that are implemented in surgical skill development and address questions associated with the quantitative and qualitative assessment of skills in senior surgical trainees.\nSupervisor Name: Dr. Kazuhiro Yasufuku\nYear of Study: 4\nProgram of Study: PhD\nZoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89610372821?pwd=azd4SCtYVWtreVovaGNPV1c2NGY2Zz09\nMeeting ID: 896 1037 2821\nPassword: 483329\nPowered by Calendly.com

SUMMARY:Graduate Seminar Series: Clinical Stream - Seyed-Youns Sadat-Nejad

These diagnoses are currently based on specific behaviours (e.g.\, social communication difficulties\, inattention)\, which may not correspond to the distinct and unique underlying biology. Moreover\, the labels of ASD and ADHD often do not predict a child’s response to a specific treatment. Instead\, care decisions are made based on each child’s unique behavioural presentation. In many cases\, existing treatments are not effective\, can have adverse side-effects\, and many children continue to experience significant distress and often have poor outcomes as adults (e.g.\, mental health\, employment\, and independence). Collectively\, these challenges suggest that ASD and ADHD may not exist as uniquely-defined diagnostic constructs and highlight the need to discover other groupings that may be more closely aligned with biology and/or response to treatment. To address this need\, the proposed project will perform data-driven approach to question the validity of current diagnostic labels and identify new groupings for children with ASD and ADHD that are biologically relevant. I will do this through an interdisciplinary approach that employs computer science-based machine learning approaches to go beyond traditional analytics methods in this field. The objective of this project is to validate existing groupings or discover new groupings based on unique and distinct biological data. To this\n3\nend\, I will pursue a novel analytical approach: instead of comparing diagnostic groups as currently done\, I use an innovative data-driven approach that looks to the data to discover new groups that transcend the existing diagnostic labels or those that validate the current groups but that also explain why the current treatments are ineffective for many individuals in part because of their adverse side effects. I will do this by use of graph clustering method and graph neural network. This approach is capable of identifying groups who share similar neuroanatomical characteristics/complexities\, regardless of diagnosis.\nSupervisor Name: Dr.Azadeh Kushki\nYear of Study: 4\nProgram of Study: PhD\nZoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89610372821?pwd=azd4SCtYVWtreVovaGNPV1c2NGY2Zz09\nMeeting ID: 896 1037 2821\nPassword: 483329\nPowered by Calendly.com

SUMMARY:Graduate Seminar Series: Cell and Tissue Stream - Rida Hasan
DESCRIPTION:Graduate Seminar Series: Cell and Tissue Stream\nGraduate Seminar Series for the Institute of Biomedical Engineering (BME). This day is for cell and tissue stream presenters.\nIf you would like to invite your Principal Investigator\, please add their email via the ‘Add Guest’ button and they will also be notified of your presentation.\nPresentation Title: Bioadhesion: Reverse Engineering the Adhesion Mechanism of Freshwater Mussels\, The Dresseinids\nAbstract: Currently\, synthetic biocompatible adhesives have been ineffective due to inflammatory reactions or poor strength1. Researchers have attempted to improve upon these adhesives\, but limitations still exist. A synthetic bioadhesives that can function in wet conditions could be a better alternative for tissue reconnections1-2. On the other hand\, many marine and freshwater organisms have adapted to secrete their own holdfast that is resistant to water3. My research aims to understand how freshwater mussels (of the Dresseina genus) adhere to surfaces underwater. Since the adhesion mechanism is largely underexplored in freshwater mussels\, direct translation to a potential bioadhesives will not be the goal of this project. Rather\, elucidating the adhesion mechanism of the freshwater mussel\, Dresseina bugensis\, will be the primary objective. This report presents a biochemical and biophysical approach to elucidate the molecular mechanism of wet adhesion of freshwater mussels. The Dreisseinid byssal proteome and byssal conditions will be described with emphasis on further characterization of Dresseina bugensis foot protein 7 (Dbfp-7) and other adhesive proteins. Characterization of the byssal proteins will provide insight to a potentially novel mechanism of wet adhesion that may improve upon the design requirements of current synthetic wet adhesives.\nSupervisor Name: Eli Sone\nYear of Study: 2\nProgram of Study: PhD\nZoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89610372821?pwd=azd4SCtYVWtreVovaGNPV1c2NGY2Zz09\nMeeting ID: 896 1037 2821\nPassword: 483329\nPowered by Calendly.com
