Very important The Lancet study showing #vagus nerve stimulation improves rehabilitation ischemic #stroke. Kudos Prof Jesse Dawson University of Glasgow at colleagues! thelancet.com/journals/lance…

I'm guilty of at least 2...

Researchers have developed a brain-controlled robotic arm that can give its user touch feedback—even if they're paralyzed. As these videos show, that stimulation can make a world of difference. Here's how they pulled off this historic feat: wired.trib.al/qanwoTc

Very proud of our DARPA N3 team's accomplishments so far on the program. Looking forward to seeing the future impacts from all of the talented N3 teams regarding the future of neurotech. magneticsmag.com/magnetism-play… Ian Baumgart Doug Weber Jacob Robinson

The results show a step toward the design of next-gen neural interfaces that are capable of demultiplexing multimodal neural information for functional improvement. #SpinalCordInjury #ClosedLoop #BCI #Neurotech Patrick Ganzer

It's been an honor working at Battelle the last 4 years with some of the most talented individuals I’ve ever met. Excited to announce I will be transitioning to an Assistant Professor at the University of Miami (Fall 2021). Thank you to everyone along the way for their support!

A big milestone for neural rehabilitation! The FDA approved the paired vagus nerve stimulation for upper extremity #stroke rehabilitation. Congrats MicroTransponder Texas Biomedical Device Center ow.ly/sdW150G08t5

We really made history

Engineering@UMiami is recruiting PhD students in all 6 departments and various interdisciplinary programs. Financial support provided to all admitted students University of Miami American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) ASCE Headquarters Biomedical Engineering Society AEESP ASME.org UF Engineering UCF Engineering

How does your institution recognize success? Publications? Patents? Patient outcomes? How about FDA approvals? Congrats Robert Rennaker, Michael Kilgard, and Seth Hays for their Stroke Rehab approval. lnkd.in/gWzezYFt

Honored to receive the 2022 Krishna Kumar New Investigator Award! Greatly appreciate my talented team mates and our neurotech accomplishments so far :)

Simply egret-ious... this bird landed right next to my office window and then asked "why aren't you writing?"

Go team!

Machine learning + bioelectronic medicines... Go team :) Doug Weber Dave Friedenberg Ian Baumgart Science Advances science.org/doi/full/10.11…

It's scary how talented Dr. Glaucomflecken really is. Not funny, but simultaneously hilarious.

BlackInBME BlackInEngineering BMESDiversity Happy to announce (JIT for Biomedical Engineering Society annual meeting) that @EngineerUMiami is recruiting MULTIPLE faculty at ALL levels in a new cluster hiring endeavor with multiple departments at UMiami medical school called “Health Engineering”
