Today’s Distinguished Lecturer is Dr. Naomi Chesler UC Irvine BME and Edwards Lifesciences Cardiovascular Center. She will discuss innovative approaches to understanding pulmonary circulation and right ventricular health through biomechanics and multiscale modeling while considering sex and race as variables.
We welcome Dr. Elise Corbin from Biomedical Engineering @ UDEL @udmse as our first speaker this spring! She will share how her team uses magnetorheological elastomers to study dynamic mechanical properties of cells and tissues within the context of biological processes in healthy and diseased states.
We welcome Dr. Zoe Reidinger from WPI Biomedical Engineering Department and WPI Morgan Teaching & Learning Center for today's seminar. Their work focuses on making BME more neuroinclusive in classroom, lab, and project settings to create more accessible, supportive environments where all minds can thrive.
We welcome Dr. Stacyann Bailey from UMass Biomedical Engineering for today's seminar. Her group studies how high-dose palliative radiotherapy weakens bone and raises fracture risk. Using a rat model, her group examines radiation’s effects on bone structure and cells to improve fracture prevention.
Today’s Distinguished Lecturer is Dr. Molly Shoichet from Biomedical Engineering @ University of Toronto. Her talk focuses on how her group tackles challenges in stem cell therapy by combining innovative biomaterials with cell and protein delivery to promote repair after spinal cord injury, stroke, and vision loss.
Our final seminar speaker of the year is Dr. Edward Damiano Boston University Biomedical Engineering. He was chosen by our Graduate BMES chapter to speak on his groundbreaking work developing the iLet Bionic Pancreas, an automated insulin delivery system that received clearance by the US FDA in May 2023.
