BME Faculty Search Seminar – Freeman Lan

MSB 4171

Revolutionizing biological discovery through ultrahigh-throughput experimentation Dr. Freeman Lan, Postdoctoral Fellow, University of Winsconsin-Madison Biological assays have for decades been carried out primarily in reaction tubes and microtiter plates, which are low throughput and difficult to scale. Microfluidics technology can overcome this limitation through miniaturization of reaction volumes and efficient scaling of liquid handling. I […]

BME Faculty Search Seminar – Kibaek Choe

MS3153

In Vivo Live Cell Imaging by Three-Photon (3P) Microscopy Dr. Kibaek Choe, Postdoctoral Associate, Cornell University In vivo confocal and two-photon (2P) microscopies have been a major driving force in deepening our understanding of cell dynamics by enabling the visualization of migration, distribution, morphology, and cell-cell interactions in three dimensions and at subcellular resolution. In […]

Post-Conference Celebration Dinner and Award Ceremony

Royal Ontario Museum 100 Queens Park, Toronto, ON, Canada

BME would like to invite you to the dinner reception at the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM). It has been a crazy last two years and it is a great time for us to get together, celebrate our achievements, and meet each other. Students, faculty, post-doc, and administrators will be attending the event. This dinner is […]

BME Faculty Search Seminar – Ilke Uguz

Development of High-Density Active Neural Interfaces using Conjugated Polymers Dr. Ilke Uguz Postdoctoral Research Associate, Columbia University Precise, stable, and biocompatible neural interfaces are crucial for effective brain-machine interfaces and therapeutic interventions. Conjugated polymers offer exceptional potential for such applications, owing to their softness, biocompatibility, and mixed ionic and electronic charge transport properties. By integrating […]

BME Faculty Search Seminar – Nova Pishesha

MS3153

Exploiting Antigen Presentation Pathways for Precision Immune Engineering Dr. Nova Pishesha, Junior Fellow, Society of Fellows at Harvard University Current treatments for autoimmunity rely on general immunosuppression, which exposes patients to opportunistic infections. Hence, immunoregulatory modalities, which educate the immune system to induce antigen-specific tolerance are desirable. My doctoral research revolved around engineered red blood […]

High Resolution Diffusion MRI of the Human Brain – Christian Beaulieu

TRI-UC - 2nd floor Auditorium, 550 University Avenue 550 University Ave, Toronto, ON, Canada

Location: Enter from the Elm Street entrance and take the stairs on the left hand side to the second floor. Speaker Christian Beaulieu Professor of Radiology and Diagnostic Imaging & Biomedical Engineering, University of Alberta Scientific Director of Peter S Allen MRI Research Centre Canada Research Chair Abstract Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has made major advances […]

Symmetry breaking and self-organization in living cells – Alexander Dunn

Wallberg Memorial Building, Room 116 184 College St, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Speaker Alexander Dunn Associate Professor Department of Chemical Engineering Stanford University Abstract Living cells are the quintessential smart materials, whose ability to move, change shape, and assemble into complex, multicellular organisms ultimately stems from the molecular-scale interactions of their constituent protein components. How exactly nanoscale protein-protein interactions dictate the complex material and functional properties of […]

Biomaterials for delivering on the promise of immunotherapy – Natalie Artzi

Lassonde Mining Building, Room 128 170 College St, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Speaker Natalie Artzi Associate Professor Harvard Medical School Abstract Immunomodulatory therapies have advanced to clinical trials over the past decade for the treatment of a range of diseases and disorders, from cancer to diabetes to transplant rejection. However, the efficacy of these therapies remains limited, as challenges associated with off-target drug toxicity, poorly controlled drug […]

BME Holiday Cocktail Party 2023

Great Hall, Hart House 7 Hart House Cir, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Institute of Biomedical Engineering (BME) is proud to host this year's Institute-wide holiday celebration! Get out of your labs and offices, socialize, get to know one another, and help build our community. Date and Time:  December 12, 2023, 1:00-4:00 pm Venue:  Great Hall, Hart House

Targeting Nucleic Acids to Combat Inflammation – Kam Leong

Medical Sciences Building 3154 1 King's College Cir, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Speaker Kam Leong Samuel Y. Sheng Professor of Biomedical Engineering Department of Biomedical Engineering Columbia University Abstract Inflammation serves as a crucial defense mechanism, alerting our bodies to damage and aiding in the restoration of homeostasis. However, when inflammation becomes excessive or chronic, it can manifest as a range of debilitating diseases, including cancer, autoimmune […]

Merging Humans and Machines to Assist Human Movement – Daniel Ferris

Medical Sciences Building 3154 1 King's College Cir, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Speaker Daniel Ferris Robert W. Adenbaum Professor J. Crayton Pruitt Family Department of Biomedical Engineering University of Florida Abstract The University of Florida Human Neuromechanics Laboratory studies the science and engineering of bionic prostheses, robotic exoskeletons, and mobile brain computer interfaces. The two goals are to better understand how humans control their bodies and to […]

Robotically Steerable Devices for Transcatheter and Endovascular Interventions – Jaydev Desai

Medical Sciences Building 3154 1 King's College Cir, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Speaker Jaydev Desai Professor Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering Georgia Institute of Technology Abstract Mitral regurgitation is a common heart valve disease. Current approaches for mitral valve repair include open heart surgery (which carries the risk of post-operative complications) and transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVr). TMVr is a relatively new approach that is […]
