Founded in 1975, NSBE now includes more than 450 College, Pre-College, and Technical Professional/Alumni chapters in the United States and abroad. NSBE’s mission is “to increase the number of culturally responsible black engineers who excel academically, succeed professionally and positively impact the community.”\r\n<h3><a href=\"https://shpe.fiu.edu\">SHPE (Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers)</a></h3>\r\nThe student chapter at Florida International University is dedicated to fulfill our founding fathers’ dreams to promote and encourage Hispanic participation in engineering and science. Since 1982, SHPE-FIU has been committed to thedevelopment and implementation of programs aimed at successfully recruiting and retaining Hispanic students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).\r\n<h3><a href=\"https://swe.fiu.edu\">SWE (Society of Women Engineers)</a></h3>\r\nThe Society of Women Engineers (SWE) is the driving force that establishes engineering as a highly desirable career aspiration for women. SWE empowers women to succeed and advance in those aspirations and be recognized for their life-changing contributions and achievements as engineers and leaders.\r\n<h2><a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/about/diversity-equity-and-inclusion/women-in-bme\">Women in BME</a></h2>\r\n<img class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-14979 alignleft\" src=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/featured-image-sana-150x150.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" />Click <a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/2018/03/sana\">here</a> to read about graduate student Sana Nasim and what it\'s like to be a successful woman in a male dominated field.\r\n\r\nClick <a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/category/women-in-bme\">here</a> to read articles about Women in BME.\r\n\r\nClick <a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/category/diversity-inclusion\">here</a> to read articles related to Diversity and Inclusion.\r\n<h2>AIMBE Diversity and Advocacy</h2>\r\nBiomedical Engineering workforce diversity, capitalizing on the full spectrum of skills, talents, and viewpoints, is essential for solving complex human health challenges. The participation of underrepresented individuals in engineering and medicine is a critical issue affecting our nation’s health and the future of research. The urgent national challenge to diversify the scientific workforce calls for research universities, academic medical centers, and national stakeholders to take action.

The work done in the Applied Neural Interfaces Lab employs quantitative approaches to solve key problems in two different areas where neural interfaces are becoming popular: brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and lower urinary tract (LUT) neuromodulation. BCIs have the potential to restore communication and mobility to paralyzed individuals, but BCI invasiveness severely limits the development and assessment of new designs. The lab members are developing an innovative BCI analogue system that facilitates testing and optimization of BCIs. Using this paradigm has demonstrated the importance of smooth decoder updates and how to exploit visual feedback to enhance user performance. LUT dysfunction is widespread in populations suffering from neural disorders, and is often recalcitrant to medication. They are developing a novel neural stimulation device to treat urinary retention that activates urethral sensory neurons to improve the efficiency of weakened voiding reflexes. Their work includes a new mechanistic model of urethral afferents as well as a new stimulation scheme that has the potential to alleviate neuropathy-induced LUT dysfunction. These two examples illustrate the impact of principled, quantitative approaches to advance the development of neural interfaces to restore function following disease or injury.</p>\r\n\r\n<h2><strong>Bioelectronic and Electronic Packaging Lab</strong></h2>\r\n<strong>Dr. Raj Markondeya</strong>\r\n\r\nCurrent bioelectronic packaging approaches for neural stimulation and recording involve large enclosures with leads and connectors that are not scalable to address the need for high-channel density nerve interfaces in ultra-thin or flexible form-factors. A highly-miniaturized fully-implanted high-density electrode array that is actively powered on or close to the electrode array itself, with integrated data processing, can enable new applications and opportunities for healthcare. Realizing these systems require heterogeneous integration of several functions such as power transfer and conversion, data processing, high-density but biocompatible electrode-tissue interfaces and miniaturized hermetic packages. All these functions need to be achieved in sub-millimeter dimensions. The bioelectronic packaging group focuses on developing system components and integration solutions to realize such next-generation bioelectronic systems.\r\n<h2><strong><a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/biomedeng.creativelab.1?ref=bookmarks\">Biomedical Engineering Creative Lab: W[CL]<sup>2</sup></a></strong></h2>\r\n<strong>Dr. Wei-Chiang Lin</strong>\r\nThe mission of the Creative Lab is to produce creative engineering solutions for complex problems in biomedicine. Currently the team focuses on developing non-destructive optical and mechanical techniques that can detect disease development and tissue injuries in vivo.  These techniques can be either one-dimensional (i.e., point detection) or multi-dimensional (i.e., imaging).  The potential medical applications for such techniques, once developed, are abundant.  For example, they may be used intraoperatively to guide tumor resection and to monitor the progression of a novel therapy.\r\n<h2><strong><a title=\"NMD\" href=\"http://hutchesonlab.fiu.edu/\">Cardiovascular Matrix Remodeling Laboratory</a></strong></h2>\r\n<strong>Dr. Joshua Hutcheson</strong>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Research in the CMRL focuses on the mechanisms through which tissues are built, maintained, and remodeled. The primary thrust of the lab is on cardiovascular disease—the leading global cause of death. Researchers in the CMRL work at the interface of engineering and biology and study the mechanisms through which mechanical forces influence cell and tissue behavior. By understanding the ways that cells sense and respond to each other and to changes in their environment, the goal of the CMRL is to develop new ways to detect initiators of disease and find interventions that restore tissue to a normal state.</p>\r\n\r\n<h2><strong><a href=\"https://mcgoronlab.fiu.edu\">Drug Delivery and Imaging Guided Therapy Laboratory</a></strong></h2>\r\n<strong>Dr. Anthony McGoron</strong>\r\n\r\nResearch focuses on image guided therapy of cancer using polymer and inorganic nanoparticles, microparticles and small molecules.

Lab members explore interrelationships between the neural control of movement and pain processing after stroke and spinal cord injury (SCI). This work is predicated on the notion that optimal therapies for restoring function after neurological injury must be grounded in a neuromechanistic understanding of the causes of impairment, which requires an integrative view of nervous system function and an interdisciplinary approach to research. The ultimate goal of this work is to develop therapeutic strategies that leverage the interconnectivity of spinal sensory and motor networks to drive multi-modal rehabilitation. Lab members are particularly interested in strategies that facilitate and direct the intrinsic ability of the central nervous system to reorganize and repair, including strategies designed to enhance the therapeutic benefits of physical rehabilitation.\r\n<h2><strong><a title=\"TEMIM\" href=\"http://temim.fiu.edu/\">Tissue Engineered Mechanics, Imaging and Materials Laboratory</a></strong></h2>\r\n<strong>Dr. Sharan Ramaswamy</strong>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Tissue Engineered Mechanics, Imaging and Materials (TEMIM) laboratory\'s primary research focus lies in the area of cell and engineered tissue mechanics with application in cardiovascular regenerative medicine.  The TEMIM lab, conducts both experimental and computational investigations in this area.

How do astrocyte interactions with neurons contribute to information processing?  To address these questions, the lab makes use of recent developments in non-linear microscopy, viral vector engineering and protein engineering to ask cutting-edge questions about the cellular basis of brain function.  In particular, current studies apply two-photon imaging of genetically-encoded calcium indicators that have been targeted to specific brain cell types via viral vectors with specific serotypes and promoters to enable measurements of cellular and subcellular activity in both neurons and astrocytes.  With these tools, we address questions about the spatial scale of visual stimulus representation within cortical neurons and astrocyte, and the temporal dynamics of brain activity that underlie visual perception.  Ultimately, these studies will lay the groundwork for interventions to rescue vision in patients with compromised vision, or other neurological dysfunctions.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;','Research Laboratories','','inherit','closed','closed','','2134-revision-v1','','','2019-01-14 10:17:49','2019-01-14 15:17:49','',2134,'https://bme.fiu.edu/2019/01/2134-revision-v1',0,'revision','',0);

Students complete the designs, manufacture the prototypes and test them in accordance with the design inputs.  Students also engage in lectures on research and development, advanced manufacturing techniques, quality assurance, regulatory compliance, principles of design excellence, and intellectual property laws that are presented by industry professionals. At the completion of the project, students make final presentations at a Design Expo and Competition, in front of a panel of industry professionals, who evaluate the performance during the presentation. Students are then interrogated by the panel in order to ascertain their competence in the use of design and engineering tools, advanced quality assurance and statistical methods, engineering standards, and their ability to work in teams.\r\n\r\nFinally, students participate in the college-wide poster expo and competition which showcases their designs to the college community, the  public and potential investors.\r\n<h2>Previous Events</h2>\r\n<a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Senior-Design-Spring-2019.pdf\">FIU Biomed Senior Design Booklet Spring 2019</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/FIU-Biomed-Senior-Design-Spring-2018-final.pdf\">FIU Biomed Senior Design Booklet Fall 2018</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/FIU-Biomed-Senior-Design-Spring-2018-Booklet.pdf\">FIU Biomed Senior Design Booklet Spring 2018</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/FIU-Biomed-Senior-Design-Fall-2017-dsktp.pdf\">FIU Biomed Senior Design Booklet Fall 2017</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Senior-Design-Project-booklet-Summer-2014.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FIU Biomed Senior Design Booklet Summer 2014</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Senior-Design-Project-booklet-2013-2014-UPDATED.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FIU Biomed Senior Design Booklet 2013-2014</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Senior-Design-Project-booklet-2012-2013_DP-Final_FINAL-4.18.14-UPDATED.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FIU Biomed Senior Design Booklet 2012-2013</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Senior-Design-Project-bookletApril2012.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FIU Biomed Senior Design Booklet 2011-2012</a>\r\n<h3>Senior Design List of Sponsors</h3>\r\n<a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/senior-design-projects/senior-design-sponsors/\">Sponsors</a>','Senior Design Project','','inherit','closed','closed','','4537-revision-v1','','','2019-04-22 11:16:42','2019-04-22 15:16:42','',4537,'https://bme.fiu.edu/2019/04/4537-revision-v1',0,'revision','',0);

It was solely intended for faculties and research scientists, yet Nasim decided to give it a try. “Ph.D. grant writing is very rare,” said Nasim. “I have always been a type of person who likes to go outside the traditional norms.

Little did she know that a short conversation with Miami Heart Research Institute’s Executive Director would steer her last few years as a Ph.D. student in a positive direction.\r\n\r\nBiomedical engineering graduate student Nasim has recently been awarded a grant for $60,000 per year, and is renewable for an additional year. Nasim’s grant is funded by the Miami Heart Research Institute, also known as Florida Heart Research Foundation. They are a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization with the major mission to stop heart disease through education and prevention.\r\n\r\nNasim introduced herself to Cavalie in early 2018 and spoke about her passion for research. This led her to the submission of a letter of intent, and later, the submission of a full proposal. This was Nasim’s first opportunity to write a research grant. It was solely intended for faculties and research scientists, yet Nasim decided to give it a try. “Ph.D. grant writing is very rare,” said Nasim. “I have always been a type of person who likes to go outside the traditional norms. As I have been leaning more towards a career choice in academia, I wanted to expose myself to grant writing opportunities. Since I have been at FIU, I have attended few grant writing workshops, which substantially helped with writing strategies.”\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/IMG_3894-e1548430352396.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-50653 alignleft\" src=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/IMG_3894-e1548430352396-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" /></a>Nasim took the initiative to seek funding for pursuing her research goals. “This is an excellent example of a doctoral student showing leadership skills and independence,” said Nikolaos Tsoukias, associate professor of biomedical engineering and mentor of Nasim. “She is setting the bar high for all graduate students in our program.”\r\n\r\nHer grant, titled “Phenotypic and functional characterization of neural crest derived-aortic valve interstitial cells,” will help Nasim in her research to understand how different cell phenotype that are present in the aortic valve regulate, the extracellular matrix protein, elastin.\r\n\r\nAssistant professor of biomedical engineering and an esteemed mentor of Nasim, Joshua Hutcheson, says that this is an outstanding achievement. “Sana showed tremendous leadership in seeking out this opportunity, and she put together a really strong proposal that competed against faculty from across the state.

Whether the student chooses to make research a part of their career plans, the program will help sharpen and hone the critical thinking and communication skill set that is invaluable to any professional goal.\r\n<h2>Program Overview</h2>\r\nThe program is a three level process for learning research skills and working side-by-side with faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and research scientists in the laboratory setting.\r\n\r\n<strong>Trainee</strong>\r\n\r\nEntry-level undergraduate student with no previous research experience. Two semesters of shadowing, training, attending research meetings, and familiarizing themselves with the laboratory setting.\r\n\r\n<strong>Researcher</strong>\r\n\r\nMid-level undergraduate student who has completed the yearlong trainee phase or has previous experience volunteering in a research laboratory setting that is equivalent to trainee level work. The researcher will complete two semesters of directly assisting in the research lab, analyzing data, and maintaining lab records under the supervision of lab mentors. During the researcher phase, students will be paid a stipend of $150 a week for working at least 15 hours per week.\r\n\r\n<strong>Fellow</strong>\r\n\r\nTop-level undergraduate student who has completed the researcher phase of the CURE program. As a fellow, the student will conduct independent research and work closely with mentors on completing their own research studies. The fellow will complete two semesters of work in the laboratory. During the fellow phase, students will be paid $180 a week for working at least 15 hours per week.\r\n<h2>Application Requirements</h2>\r\n[accordion autoclose=\"true\" clicktoclose=\"true\" openfirst=\"false\" openall=\"false\" ]\r\n\r\n[accordion-item title=\"Trainee\"]\r\n\r\n-Must be an entry-level undergraduate student with no previous research experience.\r\n-Identify a research mentor.

I have expanded my vocabulary and understanding of the neuronal motor-sensory pathways, nervous system anatomy and so much more. I plan on pursuing a medical degree, so working on an extracurricular project has widened my perspective of the biomedical engineering field and its applications to medicine. I would recommend this program to students who are looking to apply the knowledge they have gained from their courses and want to learn about a specific area of interest they might have outside the usual classroom setting.\" <i><strong>- Valentina Melero</strong></i>\r\n\r\n\"After completing my undergraduate studies at FIU, I plan on attending medical school and becoming a physician. I truly feel my gradual involvement in research has allowed me to improve my critical thinking, creativity, organization, and many other skills needed to be a successful healthcare professional. I have progressively learned how to read and analyze medical literature, which is critical in remaining up-to-date on medical discoveries that can be implemented in the clinical setting. Furthermore, being in a research setting exposes me to the usage of a Flex-cell machine, cell culturing, and other techniques that will enhance my comprehension of underlying causes of disease, which will considerably aid me in understanding the needs of my patients as a future physician.\" <i><strong>- Michael Orduz</strong></i>\r\n\r\n\"For several months, I have been working with a neurological event called Cortical Spreading Depression. This is a neurophysiological condition typically observed in migraine aura characterized by a wave of complete neuronal depolarization leading to a silencing of neuronal activity that spreads throughout the cortex of the brain. I have been able to perform intracranial recordings on rats and with the data I have collected, I have been able to present in state and national conferences where I have met faculty from several distinguished graduate school programs. This has been an opportunity I highly value because of my interest in obtaining a PhD in neuroscience. I would highly recommend the CURE program to others because of the exposure to research and networking with distinguished faculty.\" <i><strong>- Daniel Rivera</strong></i>\r\n<h2><a href=\"https://fiu.academicworks.com/opportunities/3228\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Applications are now open!</a></h2>\r\n<strong>For more information about the program, contact Dr. Joshua Hutcheson at 305.438.0157 or at <a href=\"mailto:jhutches@fiu.edu\">jhutches@fiu.edu</a>.</strong>','Coulter Undergraduate Research Excellence Program (CURE)','','inherit','closed','closed','','5686-revision-v1','','','2019-02-01 11:01:10','2019-02-01 16:01:10','',5686,'https://bme.fiu.edu/2019/02/5686-revision-v1',0,'revision','',0);

Little did she know that a short conversation with Miami Heart Research Institute’s Executive Director would steer her last few years as a Ph.D. student in a positive direction.\r\n\r\nBiomedical engineering graduate student Nasim has recently been awarded a grant for $60,000 per year, and is renewable for an additional year. Nasim’s grant is funded by the Miami Heart Research Institute, also known as Florida Heart Research Foundation. They are a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization with the major mission to stop heart disease through education and prevention.\r\n\r\nNasim introduced herself to Cavalie in early 2018 and spoke about her passion for research. This led her to the submission of a letter of intent, and later, the submission of a full proposal. This was Nasim’s first opportunity to write a research grant. It was solely intended for faculties and research scientists, yet Nasim decided to give it a try. “Ph.D. grant writing is very rare,” said Nasim. “I have always been a type of person who likes to go outside the traditional norms. As I have been leaning more towards a career choice in academia, I wanted to expose myself to grant writing opportunities. Since I have been at FIU, I have attended few grant writing workshops, which substantially helped with writing strategies.”\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/IMG_3894-e1548430352396.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-50653 alignleft\" src=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/IMG_3894-e1548430352396-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" /></a>Nasim took the initiative to seek funding for pursuing her research goals. “This is an excellent example of a doctoral student showing leadership skills and independence,” said Nikolaos Tsoukias, associate professor of biomedical engineering and mentor of Nasim. “She is setting the bar high for all graduate students in our program.”\r\n\r\nHer grant, titled “Phenotypic and functional characterization of neural crest derived-aortic valve interstitial cells,” will help Nasim in her research to understand how different cell phenotype that are present in the aortic valve regulate, the extracellular matrix protein, elastin.\r\n\r\nAssistant professor of biomedical engineering and an esteemed mentor of Nasim, Joshua Hutcheson, says that this is an outstanding achievement. “Sana showed tremendous leadership in seeking out this opportunity, and she put together a really strong proposal that competed against faculty from across the state. The award speaks volumes about her ability and will allow her to conduct high level research over the next two years,” said Hutcheson.<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-50652 alignright\" src=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/IMG_3893-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" />\r\n\r\nIn addition, Nasim believes that under the guidance of her academic mentor, Lidia Kos (Associate Dean of University Graduate School, Associate Vice President of Research, and Professor at FIU’s College of Arts, Sciences and Education), she has successfully tackled the grant writing process. “The Miami Heart award to Sana is a major accomplishment. I am so proud of her! Sana embodies the mentee that every advisor would dream of having,” said Kos. “She is extremely driven, pro-active, and takes complete charge of her project. She is goal oriented and gets things done. She is unafraid of trying new things and is always ready to do so. More important to me is that she is an absolute pleasure to work with and clearly values the interactions and relationships she has with everyone in the lab and at FIU.”\r\n\r\nNasim shares her most impactful advice to future grant writers:\r\n<ol>\r\n 	<li>Grow from constructive criticisms. Take advantage of feedback from professors and mentors, which will potentiate in scholarly abilities.</li>\r\n 	<li>Push through your own barriers. If you feel unqualified, know that there are opportunities out there for everyone. You are a stronger candidate than you think you are!</li>\r\n 	<li>Find motivation to push yourself forward. Graduate school can be a stressful time for even the most successful and intellectual candidates. There will be times when you will be pushed to your intellectual limits and must find your own way forward.</li>\r\n 	<li>Find strength and motivation by always seeking for the next opportunity by continuously reminding yourself what you are most passionate about.</li>\r\n 	<li>If your heart yearns for something, negotiate your way towards it.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\nCongratulations, Sana, on your accomplishment! We look forward to learning more about your research endeavors!','BME graduate student earns well-deserved grant','','inherit','closed','closed','','50651-revision-v1','','','2019-01-25 10:37:30','2019-01-25 15:37:30','',50651,'https://bme.fiu.edu/2019/01/50651-revision-v1',0,'revision','',0);

By applying a multifaceted approach, the laboratory investigates the effects of trauma and disorders of the nervous system to replace damaged or lost functionality or to repair the system using advanced adaptive devices and therapeutic techniques. Driven by the needs of potential users, the laboratory is designing and developing technology to offset the effects of limb amputation and spinal cord injury and understand its impact on nervous system function.\n<h2><strong><a title=\"NMD\" href=\"http://anil.fiu.edu/\">Applied Neural Interfaces Laboratory </a></strong></h2>\n<strong>Dr. Zachary Danziger</strong>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Neural interfaces have emerged as important new therapies for diseases where pharmacotherapy is not feasible or causes intolerable side effects. The work done in the Applied Neural Interfaces Lab employs quantitative approaches to solve key problems in two different areas where neural interfaces are becoming popular: brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and lower urinary tract (LUT) neuromodulation. BCIs have the potential to restore communication and mobility to paralyzed individuals, but BCI invasiveness severely limits the development and assessment of new designs. The lab members are developing an innovative BCI analogue system that facilitates testing and optimization of BCIs. Using this paradigm has demonstrated the importance of smooth decoder updates and how to exploit visual feedback to enhance user performance. LUT dysfunction is widespread in populations suffering from neural disorders, and is often recalcitrant to medication. They are developing a novel neural stimulation device to treat urinary retention that activates urethral sensory neurons to improve the efficiency of weakened voiding reflexes. Their work includes a new mechanistic model of urethral afferents as well as a new stimulation scheme that has the potential to alleviate neuropathy-induced LUT dysfunction. These two examples illustrate the impact of principled, quantitative approaches to advance the development of neural interfaces to restore function following disease or injury.</p>\n\n<h2><strong>Bioelectronic and Electronic Packaging Lab</strong></h2>\n<strong>Dr. Raj Markondeya</strong>\n\nCurrent bioelectronic packaging approaches for neural stimulation and recording involve large enclosures with leads and connectors that are not scalable to address the need for high-channel density nerve interfaces in ultra-thin or flexible form-factors. A highly-miniaturized fully-implanted high-density electrode array that is actively powered on or close to the electrode array itself, with integrated data processing, can enable new applications and opportunities for healthcare. Realizing these systems require heterogeneous integration of several functions such as power transfer and conversion, data processing, high-density but biocompatible electrode-tissue interfaces and miniaturized hermetic packages. All these functions need to be achieved in sub-millimeter dimensions. The bioelectronic packaging group focuses on developing system components and integration solutions to realize such next-generation bioelectronic systems.\n<h2><strong><a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/biomedeng.creativelab.1?ref=bookmarks\">Biomedical Engineering Creative Lab: W[CL]<sup>2</sup></a></strong></h2>\n<strong>Dr. Wei-Chiang Lin</strong>\nThe mission of the Creative Lab is to produce creative engineering solutions for complex problems in biomedicine. Currently the team focuses on developing non-destructive optical and mechanical techniques that can detect disease development and tissue injuries in vivo.  These techniques can be either one-dimensional (i.e., point detection) or multi-dimensional (i.e., imaging).  The potential medical applications for such techniques, once developed, are abundant.  For example, they may be used intraoperatively to guide tumor resection and to monitor the progression of a novel therapy.\n<h2><strong><a title=\"NMD\" href=\"http://hutchesonlab.fiu.edu/\">Cardiovascular Matrix Remodeling Laboratory</a></strong></h2>\n<strong>Dr. Joshua Hutcheson</strong>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Research in the CMRL focuses on the mechanisms through which tissues are built, maintained, and remodeled. The primary thrust of the lab is on cardiovascular disease—the leading global cause of death. Researchers in the CMRL work at the interface of engineering and biology and study the mechanisms through which mechanical forces influence cell and tissue behavior. By understanding the ways that cells sense and respond to each other and to changes in their environment, the goal of the CMRL is to develop new ways to detect initiators of disease and find interventions that restore tissue to a normal state.</p>\n\n<h2><strong><a href=\"https://mcgoronlab.fiu.edu\">Drug Delivery and Imaging Guided Therapy Laboratory</a></strong></h2>\n<strong>Dr. Anthony McGoron</strong>\n\nResearch focuses on image guided therapy of cancer using polymer and inorganic nanoparticles, microparticles and small molecules. Imaging is used to identify patients likely to respond to a particular therapy, to monitor the delivery of the drug and the patient’s response to the therapy, and to guide surgical resection of tumors. Molecular Imaging modalities include nuclear (PET and SPECT), near-infrared fluorescence, and Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS). Therapeutic approaches include chemotherapy, photo-dynamic therapy, photo-thermal therapy, and radiation therapy.\n<h2><strong><a href=\"https://eyeimaging.fiu.edu\">Eye Imaging Laboratory</a></strong></h2>\n<strong>Dr. Shuliang Jiao</strong>\n<div id=\"main-content\">\n<div class=\"fiu-full-page-container\">\n<div id=\"content-area\" class=\"clearfix\">\n<div id=\"content\" class=\"small-12 large-12 columns\" role=\"main\"><article id=\"post-6\" class=\"post-6 page type-page status-publish hentry\">\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n\nThe goal of the Eye Imaging Lab is research is to help prevent and cure blindness through technological innovations. Dr. Jiao’s lab, is dedicated to the development of novel optical technologies for 3D high resolution imaging of the anatomy and functions of the eye in vivo. The optical imaging technologies the lab currently focuses on include Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), Photoacoustic Microscopy, and Multimodal Imaging. These technologies serve as tools for the research and diagnosis of diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy. They also provide powerful tools for monitoring the functional regeneration of photoreceptors in regenerative medicine such as stem cell therapy.\n\n</div>\n</article></div>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n<footer role=\"contentinfo\">\n<div class=\"row footer-info\">\n<div class=\"footer-info-container small-12 columns\"></div>\n</div>\n</footer>\n<h2><strong><a href=\"http://web.eng.fiu.edu/jramella/\">Medical Photonics Laboratory</a></strong></h2>\n<strong>Dr. Jessica Ramella-Roman</strong>\n\nThe Medical Photonics Lab (MPL) conducts research in bio-photonics and focuses on the investigation of non-invasive methodologies for diagnosis of disease based on light-tissue interaction. Researchers are developing new imaging methodologies combining polarization sensitive techniques and non-linear microscopy to investigate anomalous organization of the extracellular matrix in several biological environments. They are utilizing these methodologies to investigate preterm labor a condition that affects 10 - 15 % of all pregnancies with severe consequences to mother and child. They are also researching early signs of Diabetic Retinopathy through the combination of imaging spectroscopy and Two-photon excitation phosphorescence lifetime imaging.\n<h2><strong><a href=\"http://nanobio.fiu.edu/\">Nanobioengineering/Bioelectronics Laboratory</a></strong></h2>\n<strong>Dr. Chenzhong Li</strong>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The research of the Nanobioengineering/Bioelectronics Lab interfaces with biomedical engineering, nanobiotechnology, electrochemistry, BioMEMS, biochemistry, nanomedicine, surface science, and materials science. The work done in the lab looks ahead to the next generation of nanoelectrical components such as protein nanowires, DNA transistors as well as end use electronic devices such as Lab-on-Chip, biosensors and enzymatic biofuel cells.</p>\n\n<h2><strong><a title=\"NMD\" href=\"http://nmd.fiu.edu/\">Neuronal Mass Dynamics Laboratory</a></strong></h2>\n<strong>Dr. Jorge Riera</strong>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Research at the Neuronal Mass Dynamics (NMD) laboratory focuses on developing strategies to integrate different modalities of brain imaging for the understanding of multicellular signaling in the neocortex. Dr. Riera\'s early work has been essential to understand the mechanisms of genesis of EEG/MEG and fMRI-BOLD signals in normal and pathological conditions. Based on data from humans and rodents, lab members have developed biophysical models of cortical microcircuits and neurovascular/metabolic coupling. These models underlie US-patented methods to study multi-scale cellular dynamics using brain imaging and electrophysiological techniques. Of particular interest is the development of pre-clinical rodent models to study epilepsy, migraine and dementia by means of brain mapping. Members have been working with the Nicklaus Children Hospital and the Miller School Medicine at UM for the translation of his animal studies into clinical practice to improve surgical outcomes in epilepsy. In the NMD lab, two groundbreaking techniques have been developed in collaboration with and commercialized by industrial partners: a) an EEG mini-cap (Cortech Solution) and b) a 3D microelectrode array (Neuronexus Tech.). The lab\'s research has been funded by NSF, NIH and the Wallace Coulter Foundation.</p>\n\n<h2><strong><a title=\"OIL\" href=\"https://oil.fiu.edu/\">Optical Imaging Laboratory</a></strong></h2>\n<strong>Dr. Anuradha Godavarty</strong>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Our Optical Imaging Laboratory focuses on various clinical applications of near-infrared optical imaging technology.  Some of the key ongoing projects include:</span><span class=\"s2\"> (a) </span><span class=\"s1\">Non-contact hand-held optical imaging scanner for real-time assessment of oxygenation changes and perfusion changes in wound healing of diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers and arterial ulcers (clinical partners include dermatologists, podiatric surgeons, nursing, statistics, and computer science faculty).

Lab members explore interrelationships between the neural control of movement and pain processing after stroke and spinal cord injury (SCI). This work is predicated on the notion that optimal therapies for restoring function after neurological injury must be grounded in a neuromechanistic understanding of the causes of impairment, which requires an integrative view of nervous system function and an interdisciplinary approach to research. The ultimate goal of this work is to develop therapeutic strategies that leverage the interconnectivity of spinal sensory and motor networks to drive multi-modal rehabilitation. Lab members are particularly interested in strategies that facilitate and direct the intrinsic ability of the central nervous system to reorganize and repair, including strategies designed to enhance the therapeutic benefits of physical rehabilitation.\n<h2><strong><a title=\"TEMIM\" href=\"http://temim.fiu.edu/\">Tissue Engineered Mechanics, Imaging and Materials Laboratory</a></strong></h2>\n<strong>Dr. Sharan Ramaswamy</strong>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Tissue Engineered Mechanics, Imaging and Materials (TEMIM) laboratory\'s primary research focus lies in the area of cell and engineered tissue mechanics with application in cardiovascular regenerative medicine.  The TEMIM lab, conducts both experimental and computational investigations in this area. A major goal of the lab is to develop functional tissue engineered heart valves (TEHVs) using 1) porcine small intestinal submucosa (PSIS) substrates and 2) mechanically regulate stem cells for the TEHV application as well as for (3) broader application in cardiovascular regenerative medicine. Concurrently the TEMIM lab is also working towards the elucidation of mechanobiological cellular and molecular mechanisms that are involved in the etiology of valve diseases, particularly aortic valve calcification.  A specific project in this area involves (4) the delineation of mechanosensitive fluid and structural conditions of the aortic valve due to elastin remodeling that may serve as an early indicator of calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD).  In addition, at the cellular level, the lab is interested in identifying the fluid-induced mechanobiological responses of valve endothelial cells in valve homeostasis and in the development of CAVD.   The research in the TEMIM lab has been supported by the AHA, NSF, industry and academic funding sources.</p>\n\n<h2><strong>Vascular Physiology and Biotransport Laboratory</strong></h2>\n<strong>Dr. Nikolaos Tsoukias</strong>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The main focus of the laboratory is on the mechanisms that regulate blood flow and pressure in the human body. The lab investigates the physiology of the microcirculation through the parallel development of theoretical and experimental models. Mathematical modeling guides experimentation and assist in data analysis while in vitro experimental studies provide important modeling parameters and promote further model development.</p>\n\n<h2><a href=\"http://vccl.fiu.edu\"><strong>Visual Cortical Circuits Laboratory</strong></a></h2>\n<strong>Dr. James Schummers</strong>\n\nThe research in the Visual Cortical Circuits Laboratory lies at the intersection of two fundamental questions about brain function:  How is an external sensory stimulus encoded in the activity of brain cells in the cerebral cortex? How do astrocyte interactions with neurons contribute to information processing?  To address these questions, the lab makes use of recent developments in non-linear microscopy, viral vector engineering and protein engineering to ask cutting-edge questions about the cellular basis of brain function.  In particular, current studies apply two-photon imaging of genetically-encoded calcium indicators that have been targeted to specific brain cell types via viral vectors with specific serotypes and promoters to enable measurements of cellular and subcellular activity in both neurons and astrocytes.  With these tools, we address questions about the spatial scale of visual stimulus representation within cortical neurons and astrocyte, and the temporal dynamics of brain activity that underlie visual perception.  Ultimately, these studies will lay the groundwork for interventions to rescue vision in patients with compromised vision, or other neurological dysfunctions.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n&nbsp;','Research Laboratories','','inherit','closed','closed','','2134-autosave-v1','','','2019-01-14 10:17:56','2019-01-14 15:17:56','',2134,'https://bme.fiu.edu/2019/01/2134-autosave-v1',0,'revision','',0);
