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.

It has enabled me to pursue research with faculty members that I am honored to work with and given me invaluable experiences that have shaped me professionally and personally. I feel as though this is a great program for students interested in research and provides a powerful networking opportunity with BME faculty.\" <em><strong>- Baarbod Ashenagar, Researcher</strong></em>\r\n\r\n\"Conducting research in the CURE program has been a great opportunity for me to understand concepts taught in the classroom, and applying them to topics still currently being explored. During the past year, I was able to not only perform my own research, by conducting experiments and data processing, but I was able to seek a deeper understanding of previous knowledge. There were also times when I had to seek help from others and work as a team, which I quickly learned was a big part of research. The CURE program was a significant component of my undergraduate experience at FIU that helped me develop skills I will be able to apply in graduate school.\"<em><strong> - Priscilla Lozano, Trainee</strong></em>\r\n<h2>Applications are now closed</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','','','2019-05-08 10:38:18','2019-05-08 14:38:18','',5686,'https://bme.fiu.edu/2019/05/5686-revision-v1',0,'revision','',0);

Coulter Biomedical Engineering Distinguished Lecture Series. The event featured the research of several of BME@FIU’s outstanding undergraduate students and also included a lecture from David Vorp, Professor and Associate Dean of Research at the University of Pittsburgh.\r\n\r\nThe undergraduate student poster presentation highlighted several outstanding research projects. Jiali Lei won first prize for her presentation on “Lower Extremity Wound Imaging Using a Hand-held Near-infrared Optical Scanner.” This marks the second consecutive year that Jiali takes home first prize in the event. Second place was won by Diego Aguilar for his presentation on “Design and Development of a Vibrotactile Sensory Feedback System for Upper Limb Prostheses.”\r\n\r\nThe seminar and reception provided the students and faculty the opportunity to meet with and learn from David Vorp, who is an expert in the field of vascular bioengineering. Vorp spoke on his research on the development of engineered vascular grafts and diagnosis and repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). His lab has developed computational tools to evaluate the severity of individual AAA and is currently exploring the use of MSCs as a potential treatment.\r\n\r\nBME@FIU’s interim chair, Wei-Chiang Lin, was impressed with the quality of research being performed by our undergraduate students. “Our students are doing a fantastic job. It is always exciting to see their work and have the opportunity to see their progress first-hand.”\r\n\r\nFor pictures of the event please visit our Facebook page at <a href=\"https://facebook.com/fiubiomed\">https://facebook.com/fiubiomed</a>','6th Annual Undergraduate Research Day','','publish','closed','closed','','6th-annual-undergraduate-research-day','','','2016-02-24 09:33:40','2016-02-24 14:33:40','',0,'https://bme.fiu.edu/?p=5725',0,'post','',0);

This technique has been used for biomarker detection since it is sensitive, fast, and realtime. Previously established SPR based sensing platforms have been limited to detection of analyte in a prepared sample. This requires collection of analytes from the cell culture media, purification, and pretreatment of analytes for the purpose of cellular exocytosis and cellular signaling pathway studies. These redundant steps are time consuming, and also introduce unpredictable errors to the experiments.\r\n\r\nTo overcome these limitations, Li discovered an alternative method for direct measurement of secretions from living cells. Among all types of secretions, biomarkers are the most significant ones for clinical, medical, and biomedical applications. Protein biomarkers are widely involved in the development of many types of cancer. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a widely studied angiogenic signal protein biomarker. Real-time, direct measurements of VEGF from carcinoma cells are required to understand its metabolism and drug development. The FIU invention is a new concept of an in situ SPR biosensing system for realtime VEGF secretion study. A mini cell culture module has been integrated to the SPR system. Unlike the traditional configuration of SPR systems for biomarker detection, living cells are cultured in a customized SPR flow cell chamber, and biomarker secretion from the cells is rapidly monitored by an immune SPR sensing device. As a model system, SKOV-3 ovarian cancer cell line was used to demonstrate VEGF secretion live time measurement. Since the novel biosensor mimics the in vivo microenvironment of the biomarker signaling pathway, this platform possesses great potential on cellular signaling pathway studies and antineoplastic drug development.\r\n\r\nFor more information on Dr. Li’s patent, please visit <a href=\"http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&amp;Sect2=HITOFF&amp;p=1&amp;u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&amp;r=1&amp;f=G&amp;l=50&amp;co1=AND&amp;d=PTXT&amp;s1=9,207,173&amp;OS=9,207,173&amp;RS=9,207,173\">http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&amp;Sect2=HITOFF&amp;p=1&amp;u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&amp;r=1&amp;f=G&amp;l=50&amp;co1=AND&amp;d=PTXT&amp;s1=9,207,173&amp;OS=9,207,173&amp;RS=9,207,173</a>\r\n\r\nSpecial Thanks to Dr. Shanatu Balkundi for his contribution to writing this article.','Dr. Chenzhong Li receives U.S. patent that will help change how many types of cancer are treated','','publish','closed','closed','','dr-chenzhong-li-receives-u-s-patent-that-will-help-change-how-many-types-of-cancer-are-treated','','','2016-02-08 15:15:50','2016-02-08 20:15:50','',0,'https://bme.fiu.edu/?p=5714',0,'post','',0);

Coulter Biomedical Engineering Distinguished Lecture Series. The event featured the research of several of BME@FIU’s outstanding undergraduate students and also included a lecture from David Vorp, Professor and Associate Dean of Research at the University of Pittsburgh.\r\n\r\nThe undergraduate student poster presentation highlighted several outstanding research projects. Jiali Lei won first prize for her presentation on “Lower Extremity Wound Imaging Using a Hand-held Near-infrared Optical Scanner.” This marks the second consecutive year that Jiali takes home first prize in the event. Second place was won by Diego Aguilar for his presentation on “Design and Development of a Vibrotactile Sensory Feedback System for Upper Limb Prostheses.”\r\n\r\nThe seminar and reception provided the students and faculty the opportunity to meet with and learn from David Vorp, who is an expert in the field of vascular bioengineering. Vorp spoke on his research on the development of engineered vascular grafts and diagnosis and repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). His lab has developed computational tools to evaluate the severity of individual AAA and is currently exploring the use of MSCs as a potential treatment.\r\n\r\nBME@FIU’s interim chair, Wei-Chiang Lin, was impressed with the quality of research being performed by our undergraduate students. “Our students are doing a fantastic job. It is always exciting to see their work and have the opportunity to see their progress first-hand.”\r\n\r\nFor pictures of the event please visit our Facebook page at <a href=\"https://facebook.com/fiubiomed\">https://facebook.com/fiubiomed</a>','6th Annual Undergraduate Research Day','','inherit','closed','closed','','5725-revision-v1','','','2016-02-24 09:33:14','2016-02-24 14:33:14','',5725,'https://bme.fiu.edu/2016/02/5725-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0);

EFOF assists individuals with epilepsy and seizures to overcome challenges caused by epilepsy, and provides services and information that enables them to best manage their health and reduce their symptoms. This is an occasion for friends, family and loved ones of those living with epilepsy to come together, organize a team and walk to support this cause. The walk has become a staple in the epilepsy community. BME, as a supporter and researcher of the cause, was a sponsor of the event. Associate Professor Dr. Jorge Riera-Diaz and graduate student Carolina Moncion attended the event representing BME and the Neuronal Mass Dynamics Lab (NMD). This was NMD’s second year participating in Walk the Walk for Epilepsy. Dr. Riera and Carolina had the opportunity to talk to the community about the brain, how it functions, and how their lab is working towards improving the lives of those suffering from neurological disorders, especially epilepsy, through their research. “As part of the FIU BME department, Dr. Riera and I were able to offer unique insight to how broad the field is and some of the areas of research available” says Carolina. “Thanks to this we were able to educate and recruit possible future BME students.” Thank you to Dr. Riera and Carolina for attending the event, and congratulations to the Epilepsy Foundation for hosting a wonderful event!','Epilepsy Walk','','inherit','closed','closed','','14948-revision-v1','','','2018-05-09 16:04:39','2018-05-09 20:04:39','',14948,'https://bme.fiu.edu/2018/05/14948-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0);

The grant, entitled “Bioscaffold mitral valve replacement permitting somatic growth and remodeling” focuses on a promising strategy to treat critical congenital mitral heart valve disease in young children using a regenerative approach. Due to sizing limitations and an inability of an artificial heart valve to grow with the child, the study uses a “bioscaffold” valve assembled from tissues derived from the small intestine of pigs, which permits the patient’s own cells to infiltrate the scaffold to secrete new living tissue, which has the potential for growth.   The focus of the study is to use as little of the bioscaffold as possible and subsequently assess how well the valves can grow over a year in the mitral position in an animal model.  Dr. Ramaswamy is a Fellow of the AHA and its Council on Basic Cardiovascular Sciences. Key partners on this grant are a clinical team from Joe Dimaggio’s Children’s Hospital, Hollywood FL (Frank Scholl M.D., Steven Bibevski, M.D. and Lilliam Valdes-Cruz, M.D.) and a veterinary staff at the Mannheimer Foundation, Homestead, FL (Director, Pablo Morales and Director of Operations, Krishna Rivas-Wagner). The award is for $154,000 over two years.','Sharan Ramaswamy awarded AHA grant to treat heart valve disease in children','','publish','closed','closed','','sharan-ramaswamy-awarded-aha-grant-to-treat-heart-valve-disease-in-children','','','2016-09-08 08:31:55','2016-09-08 12:31:55','',0,'https://bme.fiu.edu/?p=5762',0,'post','',0);

One patent is for a modular multi-channel inline connector system for connecting implanted electrodes within parts of the human body with an externally located device, or one already implanted within the body, and the other is for technology that enables efficient handling of multiple leads in a multi-electrode system.\r\n\r\nNeurotechnology is a rapidly growing segment of the medical device market. This technology refers to devices that connect electronics to the nervous system in the body in order to monitor neural activity or to stimulate neurons on demand. Some notable neuro-stimulation systems include cochlear implants for hearing restoration, deep brain stimulation systems to treat Parkinson’s disease, spinal cord stimulation systems to treat chronic pain, and gastric pacemakers to treat gastroparesis among others.\r\n\r\nMost often, the neurostimulators have a single lead that targets a single stimulation site. Sometimes, the lead has multiple electrodes arranged linearly at fixed distances from each other. This precludes stimulating multiple nerve sites distributed over a larger area. Sometimes, the implanted lead is routed across the skin to connect to an external stimulator in order to test the efficacy of the system before the stimulator is implanted.\r\n\r\nJung’s patented technologies offer the ability to package multiple leads with separable electrodes to target multiple nerves or multiple stimulation sites over a large distributed area and allow an inline modular connector to connect the distributed electrodes to a stimulator.  The modular inline connector design can simplify surgical installation procedures, improve the utilization of smart stimulators with multiple channels and allow upgrading the stimulator without impacting the neural interface at the electrode sites.\r\n\r\nThese two patents complement two other patents that have been issued to Jung and her group and five others that are pending.  All of these are the result of a broad-based effort to develop novel technology that interfaces directly with the nervous system to help people who have experienced trauma regain lost function. One of the major drivers for this neurotechnology has been a project that Jung has directed to develop a neural-enabled prosthetic hand system.   This work has produced the first implantable, wirelessly controlled, direct neural interface system for restoring sensation to upper limb amputees. Sensors on the prosthetic hand that are activated by hand opening and touch provide information that is used to control small electrical impulses that stimulate multiple nerves at various sites in the residual arm. As these nerves get activated, the information is relayed to the brain and the person experiences sensations that will help them as they perform tasks such as picking up a cookie or a cup without crushing it.','Ranu Jung receives two U.S. patents','','publish','closed','closed','','ranu-jung-receives-two-us-patent','','','2017-08-31 17:17:05','2017-08-31 21:17:05','',0,'https://bme.fiu.edu/?p=5842',0,'post','',0);

The young  department has  filed 20 patents in the last 5 years and has been  awarded one.\n\nDr.  Jung comes to FIU from Arizona State University where she is the   Director of the Center for Adaptive Neural Systems – a   multi-disciplinary center approved by the Arizona Board of Regents. She   is a tenured faculty member of the School of Biological and Health  Systems Engineering, and is affiliated with the School of Electrical and   Energy Engineering and is also a member of the graduate faculty of the   Neuroscience and Applied Mathematics doctoral degree programs. The   prestigious “New Florida Scholar’s Boost Award”, a Florida state program  to attract nationally recognized faculty in  health/engineering, has  been recommended for Dr. Jung.\n\n“Dr. Jung will not only enhance  the global reputation of the Department  of Biomedical Engineering, but  also establish a new transdisciplinary  research center dedicated to  neural engineering and translational  neuroscience. This new effort is a  partnership for the College of Engineering and Computing together with  the Colleges of  Medicine, Nursing &amp; Health Sciences, and Arts &amp;  Science” said  the Dean of the College of Engineering and Computing,  Dr. Amir Mirmiran.  Dean Mirmiran also acknowledged the hard work and  dedication of Dr. Anthony McGoron, who has led the department so ably  for the last  three years, and has \"developed a strong partnership with  the Herbert  Wertheim College of Medicine in the area of bio sensors.\"\n\n“I  am honored to have the opportunity to lead a dynamic and enthusiastic   biomedical engineering department and a new research group that is   truly integrated with the medical and health sciences. BME students,   staff and faculty at FIU are ready to rise to new challenges and aspire  to the “Worlds Ahead” vision of the University.  The time is ripe for  innovative education of tomorrow’s biomedical  engineers and for  knowledge discovery in signature areas of excellence  that have  translational research and development as a hallmark. BME@FIU will build  a growing wheel of impact that expands  across the region, state,  nation and the world” said Jung.\n\nJung has been an entrepreneur  and a leader in establishing  academic-clinical-industrial partnerships  in neural engineering and  computational neuroscience research. She is  actively engaged in the  development of neurotechnology that is inspired  by biology, is adaptive and could be used to promote adaptation in the  nervous system  to overcome neurological disability or trauma. Of  special interest to  her are biomimetic and biohybrid living-hardware  systems for  sensorimotor control.\n\nShe currently leads a  Bioengineering Research Partnership that is funded  through a multi-year  award from the National Institutes of Health. With  this partnership,  she and her team are developing a novel, fully  implanted neural  interface between a myolectric prosthetic hand and peripheral nerves of  below-the-elbow amputees. This  translational R&amp;D effort will  deliver a unique neural  enabled-prosthesis that provides sensation to  users of prosthetic hands  into clinical practice. Patent-pending  technology includes novel electrode designs and methods of  communication.\nAs President and co-founder of Advensys, LLC she  received Phase I and II  funding from the US Army to develop powered  lower-limb splints for  evacuating injured soldiers from the urban  battlefield. This  patent-pending technology also has promise for  providing “crutch-free” walking after ankle injuries.\n\nJung  received her PhD in biomedical engineering from Case Western  Reserve  University in 1991. She also holds a master’s degree in  biomedical  engineering from Case and a bachelor’s degree with  distinction in  electronics and communications engineering from the National Institute  of Technology, Warangal in India.\n\nWith a body of published work  which includes peer reviewed articles,  book chapters, and conference  papers, she is a frequently invited  speaker. Her honors include a  National Research Service Award from the  US National Institutes of  Health, a N.E. Ohio American Heart Association fellowship, the 2002  Science and Engineering Award,  Governors Certificate of Recognition  from the Commonwealth of Kentucky  and appointment by the Arizona  Governor and Senate as Commissioner to  the Arizona Biomedical Research  Commission.\n\nJung’s professional service includes membership on  several advisory and  scientific review panels for the US National  Science Foundation, the US  National Institutes of Health, NASA,  US-Israel Binational Science  Foundation, Arkansas Science and  Technology Authority and other international universities and funding  agencies. She served a  multi-year term as elected President of the  Organization for  Computational Neurosciences, Inc., which is an  international  organization that serves the global community of  computational neuroscientists. She is an elected Senior Member of IEEE  and the Society  of Women Engineers and serves on the board of Rocky  Mountain  Bioengineering Sympoisum, inc. She is also Associate Editor  for the  journals IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, Neural  Networks and Review Editor for Frontier’s in Neuromethods.','New Chair of Biomedical Engineering Appointed','Dr. Ranu Jung, the Wallace H.

The grant, entitled “Bioscaffold mitral valve replacement permitting somatic growth and remodeling” focuses on a promising strategy to treat critical congenital mitral heart valve disease in young children using a regenerative approach. Due to sizing limitations and an inability of an artificial heart valve to grow with the child, the study uses a “bioscaffold” valve assembled from tissues derived from the small intestine of pigs, which permits the patient’s own cells to infiltrate the scaffold to secrete new living tissue, which has the potential for growth.   The focus of the study is to use as little of the bioscaffold as possible and subsequently assess how well the valves can grow over a year in the mitral position in an animal model.  Dr. Ramaswamy is a Fellow of the AHA and its Council on Basic Cardiovascular Sciences. Key partners on this grant are a clinical team from Joe Dimaggio’s Children’s Hospital, Hollywood FL (Frank Scholl M.D., Steven Bibevski, M.D. and Lilliam Valdes-Cruz, M.D.) and a veterinary staff at the Mannheimer Foundation, Homestead, FL (Director, Pablo Morales and Director of Operations, Krishna Rivas-Wagner).

This award was open to students, postdocs, assistant professors, or equivalent, and outstanding young investigators working on Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies Initiative (BRAIN). YIA winners include students fromStanford, MIT, Georgia Tech, UCSF, UCLA, and Harvard Medical School.\r\n\r\nYinchen’s research is supervised by Associate Professors Wei-Chiang Lin and Jorge Riera. One focus of his Ph.D. research is to develop a novel spectroscopy imaging system to spatiotemporally investigate intrinsic physiological characteristics of <em>in vivo</em> brains. A provisional patent application about this system was filed in 2014 (US 61/938,376, Lin and Song). This system is being used at the <a href=\"https://nmd.fiu.edu/\">Neuronal Mass Dynamics</a> (NMD) lab to localize epileptic foci in a rat model of focal cortical dysplasia. Such preclinical study attempts to verify the capabilities of this system to demarcate epileptic cortex <em>in vivo</em>, a work being evaluated in humans by Lin (the Biomedical Optics lab) in collaboration with surgeons at Miami Children Hospital.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/grouppicture.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5106\" src=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/grouppicture-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"grouppicture\" width=\"590\" height=\"331\" /></a>For the BRAIN Grand Challenge Conference, Yinchen Song presented the most important results obtained using the preclinical model of focal cortical dysplasia. This part of the work is being primarily carried out at the NMD lab under the supervision of Riera. In this project, the authors utilized a “double-hit” rat model of focal cortical dysplasia, which recapitulates the key pathophysiological characteristics of one of the most common focal epilepsy diagnosed among pediatric patients. To localize the irritative zones in the rat brain, they performed simultaneous EEG-fMRI recordings, in collaboration with Fahmeed Hyder, professor of biomedical engineering &amp; diagnostic radiology at Yale University, and scalp EEG recordings using a 32-channel mini EEG-cap for rodents (Patent application US 13/641,834, Riera, Sumiyoshi and Kawashima). Sophisticated analyses have been conducted on all these recordings and results discussed with a pre-surgery evaluation committee at the NMD lab to determine the area on each rat’s skull for a craniotomy. After the surgery, the neurovascular coupling effects of the exposed cortical area during the interictal and the ictal periods were investigated using a 16-channel micro-electrode array, laser Doppler flowmetry and intrinsic optical imaging system.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/workpicture.png\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5108\" src=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/workpicture-1024x699.png\" alt=\"workpicture\" width=\"590\" height=\"402\" /></a>This is the first study capturing the spatiotemporal electrophysiological and hemodynamic signatures from the <em>in vivo</em> brain of a rat model of focal epilepsy with recurrent seizures during the ictal periods. It also demonstrates that the epileptic foci can be efficiently identified using state-of-the-art techniques, which could shed light on the improvements of human epilepsy surgery. Furthermore, the outcomes of this project could fill the major knowledge gaps on the interplay between the IED-related BOLD activation and deactivation, and their relevance to the alterations in the brain networks. It could also provide opportunities to explore the impact of neuronal disorders on individual cells and their networks, which in turn may lead to the discovery of new means to treat and prevent brain disorders.\r\n\r\nThe results of this project will lead to several journal publications: the manuscript about the simultaneous EEG-fMRI study has been submitted to <em>Cerebral Cortex</em> and is currently under revision; the manuscript about the scalp EEG study submitted to <em>JoVE</em> is in press; two additional manuscripts about the intracranial electrophysiology/optics study are in preparation.\r\n\r\nThe research team is currently engaging with experts at Miami Children’s Hospital, University of Miami and Florida Hospital (Orlando) for future collaborations on human studies. The ultimate goal of these collaborations is to bring the state-of-the-art techniques developed in the Biomed Optics lab and the NMD lab to bedside, and hence, improve patient care.','FIU Researcher Wins Young Investigator Award','','inherit','closed','closed','','5105-revision-v1','','','2017-06-07 16:09:33','2017-06-07 20:09:33','',5105,'https://bme.fiu.edu/2017/06/5105-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0);

My family moved to the United States for better educational opportunities, when I was 17. Right after finishing up high school, I decided to pursue biomedical engineering with applied mathematics minor at New Jersey Institute of Technology. My family’s transition to the United States and our struggles and hardships have constantly motivated me to do my best in school and pursue the passion I hold for the STEM field.\r\n\r\n<strong>Why did you decide to pursue a Ph.D.?</strong>\r\n\r\nI was very intrigued by the research I was doing in undergrad, which made me realize that this is something I would do even if I won’t get paid for. Throughout my undergrad career, I had great mentors who helped me envision my passion for research and mentoring. Mentoring others has helped me to gain a sense of satisfaction by making a difference in another person’s life. I learned from these experiences the significance of education and its lasting effect on a person’s life, which led me to pursue a Ph.D.\r\n\r\n<strong>Why did you choose FIU?</strong>\r\n\r\nFIU offered me a NSF Bridge to the Doctorate Fellowship which covered my first two years of graduate school. This specific fellowship came with an outstanding support group, which was very important for me. I chose Dr. Sharan Ramaswamy as my mentor, who is an expert in the field of cell and engineered tissue mechanics with application in cardiovascular regenerative medicine.\r\n\r\n<strong>Are you the first in the family to purse a doctorate degree?</strong>\r\n\r\nI am actually the first generation to go to college so pursuing a Ph.D. is far beyond my parent’s vision.\r\n\r\n<strong>Are you part of any clubs or organizations at FIU?</strong>\r\n\r\nAt FIU, I’m part of the Graduate Student Advisory Board, which gives me freedom to sit on a board to bring the graduate student body’s concerns and plan activities, especially for the graduate student appreciation week. I am also a University Graduate School’s student representative where I represent the FIU graduate student body in front of incoming masters and Ph.D. students. Besides organization, FIU has given me opportunities to mentor high school seniors and high school teachers for the past two summers that I have been here.  It has been a rewarding experience for me to see them present their work at the end of the summer and embark their college careers at Ivy league schools.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-7445 alignright\" style=\"color: #333333; font-style: normal;\" src=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/DSC_0039-768x511.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" /><strong>Please explain your research.</strong>\r\n\r\nMy research is towards the understanding of valve endothelial cells mechanobiology for diseases such as aortic heart valve calcification. Specifically, I focus on understanding VEC signaling events based on a fluid – induced external mechanical stimulus. By understanding the ways cells sense and respond to mechanical forces leading to changes in the gene expression, new detect initiators of disease to restore tissue to normal condition can be developed.\r\n\r\n<strong>What are your post-graduation plans?</strong>\r\n\r\nMy life has been driven by two passions: research and women’s empowerment. My prime motivation to continue research is to make a significant difference within the field and find a better cure to cardiovascular diseases that affect billions of people around the globe. I want to be part of the solution, both as a scientist and as a woman leader who can help empower women to pursue higher education. After my Ph.D., I plan to pursue a post-doc position driven more toward genetic engineering with the cardiovascular interest and potentially have my own independent lab one day.<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>What is it like being a female in BME? Do you have any female mentors or role models that you look up to?</strong>\r\n\r\nBeing a female in engineering is quite intimidating. I am well aware of the painful lack of women in STEM fields, but it has not discouraged me because I also see first-hand evidence every day that being a woman has nothing to do with success. I know that while the road so far has been difficult, and I’ve worked harder than I ever have before, so does every other male engineering student. The world today is progressing towards breaking the stereotypes – be it men in nursing or women in engineering. I am absolutely blessed to have an incredible support group of male and female mentors, who have constantly pushed me to be the best version of myself. If it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Most importantly, my mother has been a phenomenal role model who always made sure that I had every opportunity in life to succeed not materially but spiritually. I’m forever grateful for her and everything she taught me and continues to teach me.\r\n\r\n<strong>Do you have any advice for young women in BME?</strong>\r\n\r\nBe persistent and consistent with your goals. Always ask yourself, what am I doing for others? It’s important to be there for one another and push each other. It took me quite a long time and many people to help me develop a voice. Now that I have it, I am not silent. Never doubt yourself. You are powerful and deserve every chance and opportunity in the world to pursue and achieve your very own dreams.','Celebrating Women in BME with Graduate Student Sana Nasim','','inherit','closed','closed','','14879-revision-v1','','','2018-05-09 11:56:04','2018-05-09 15:56:04','',14879,'https://bme.fiu.edu/2018/05/14879-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0);

Pickup Scholarship (Society of Women Engineers, 2009), the 1st Place Doctoral Student Paper Award (Southern Biomedical Engineering Conference, 2009), and 3rd Place Best Student Poster Award (National Institutes of Health Workshop, Bethesda, MD, 2009).  Her graduate research has been published in 6 peer-reviewed journal publications and 9 conference proceedings as well as presented at 11 national conferences including SPIE Photonics West BiOS (2009, 2010), Optical Society of America BIOMED (2010), and Radiological Society of North America (2008).\n\nAs a post-doctoral researcher, Sarah will continue working with Dr. Godavarty towards improving the design of the hand-held imager into a more sleek and portable design and performing extensive clinical studies in collaboration with Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center and a private practicing breast surgeon in Miami.  The overall goal is to translate the device to the clinic where it will provide an inexpensive and patient-comfortable method for functional imaging of breast tissue.  Eventually, the breast cancer research is targeted towards improving the survival rate of women affected by breast cancer (1 in 8 in the United States) by improving early-stage diagnosis of the disease and/or monitoring the therapeutic process, especially in younger or women with denser breast tissues.\n\nDr. Godavarty has been an incredible mentor throughout Sarah’s doctoral research process.  Her rigorous training in scientific and grant writing has led Sarah to achieve national recognition in publications and fellowships.  Dr. Godavarty has received recognition in awards such as the Coulter Early Career Award in Biomedical Engineering by the Wallace H. Coulter Foundation (2009), the Kauffman Professor Award from the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation (2009), FIU Top Scholars Recognition awarded by President Modesto A. Maidique for outstanding achievements in research and scholarship (2009), and she has been selected twice as a finalist for the Healthcare Heroes Award presented by the Miami-Dade Chamber of Commerce.','Sarah Erickson Awarded the American Cancer Society’s Post-Doctoral Fellowship','Her grant proposal received an “Outstanding” score, and is one of the very few funded proposals by the Canary Foundation and ACS.','inherit','closed','closed','','839-revision-v1','','','2017-06-08 09:57:01','2017-06-08 13:57:01','',839,'https://bme.fiu.edu/2017/06/839-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0);

My family’s transition to the United States and our struggles and hardships have constantly motivated me to do my best in school and pursue the passion I hold for the STEM field.\r\n\r\n<strong>Why did you decide to pursue a Ph.D.?</strong>\r\n\r\nI was very intrigued by the research I was doing in undergrad, which made me realize that this is something I would do even if I won’t get paid for. Throughout my undergrad career, I had great mentors who helped me envision my passion for research and mentoring. Mentoring others has helped me to gain a sense of satisfaction by making a difference in another person’s life. I learned from these experiences the significance of education and its lasting effect on a person’s life, which led me to pursue a Ph.D.\r\n\r\n<strong>Why did you choose FIU?</strong>\r\n\r\nFIU offered me a NSF Bridge to the Doctorate Fellowship which covered my first two years of graduate school. This specific fellowship came with an outstanding support group, which was very important for me. I chose Dr. Sharan Ramaswamy as my mentor, who is an expert in the field of cell and engineered tissue mechanics with application in cardiovascular regenerative medicine.\r\n\r\n<strong>Are you the first in the family to purse a doctorate degree?</strong>\r\n\r\nI am actually the first generation to go to college so pursuing a Ph.D. is far beyond my parent’s vision.\r\n\r\n<strong>Are you part of any clubs or organizations at FIU?</strong>\r\n\r\nAt FIU, I’m part of the Graduate Student Advisory Board, which gives me freedom to sit on a board to bring the graduate student body’s concerns and plan activities, especially for the graduate student appreciation week. I am also a University Graduate School’s student representative where I represent the FIU graduate student body in front of incoming masters and Ph.D. students. Besides organization, FIU has given me opportunities to mentor high school seniors and high school teachers for the past two summers that I have been here.  It has been a rewarding experience for me to see them present their work at the end of the summer and embark their college careers at Ivy league schools.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-7445 alignright\" style=\"color: #333333; font-style: normal;\" src=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/DSC_0039-768x511.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" /><strong>Please explain your research.</strong>\r\n\r\nMy research is towards the understanding of valve endothelial cells mechanobiology for diseases such as aortic heart valve calcification. Specifically, I focus on understanding VEC signaling events based on a fluid – induced external mechanical stimulus. By understanding the ways cells sense and respond to mechanical forces leading to changes in the gene expression, new detect initiators of disease to restore tissue to normal condition can be developed.\r\n\r\n<strong>What are your post-graduation plans?</strong>\r\n\r\nMy life has been driven by two passions: research and women’s empowerment. My prime motivation to continue research is to make a significant difference within the field and find a better cure to cardiovascular diseases that affect billions of people around the globe. I want to be part of the solution, both as a scientist and as a woman leader who can help empower women to pursue higher education. After my Ph.D., I plan to pursue a post-doc position driven more toward genetic engineering with the cardiovascular interest and potentially have my own independent lab one day.<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>What is it like being a female in BME? Do you have any female mentors or role models that you look up to?</strong>\r\n\r\nBeing a female in engineering is quite intimidating. I am well aware of the painful lack of women in STEM fields, but it has not discouraged me because I also see first-hand evidence every day that being a woman has nothing to do with success. I know that while the road so far has been difficult, and I’ve worked harder than I ever have before, so does every other male engineering student. The world today is progressing towards breaking the stereotypes – be it men in nursing or women in engineering. I am absolutely blessed to have an incredible support group of male and female mentors, who have constantly pushed me to be the best version of myself. If it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Most importantly, my mother has been a phenomenal role model who always made sure that I had every opportunity in life to succeed not materially but spiritually. I’m forever grateful for her and everything she taught me and continues to teach me.\r\n\r\n<strong>Do you have any advice for young women in BME?</strong>\r\n\r\nBe persistent and consistent with your goals. Always ask yourself, what am I doing for others? It’s important to be there for one another and push each other. It took me quite a long time and many people to help me develop a voice. Now that I have it, I am not silent. Never doubt yourself. You are powerful and deserve every chance and opportunity in the world to pursue and achieve your very own dreams.','Celebrating Women in BME with Graduate Student Sana Nasim','','publish','closed','closed','','sana','','','2018-11-13 13:45:00','2018-11-13 18:45:00','',0,'https://bme.fiu.edu/?p=14879',0,'post','',0);

This award has been won by the FIU chapter five times in a row, including this year.\r\n\r\nNot only making FIU proud at the national level, AEMB FIU Chapter has been consistently ranked as the most active organization within FIU. Under the presidentship of Rupak Dua, (Final year, PhD candidate at the Biomedical Engineering Department, FIU), AEMB won the “Overall Outstanding Organization Award” amongst 200 active student organizations at FIU, with approximately 38,000 registered students in the academic year 2012-2013.\r\n\r\nThe second national award bagged by the AEMB FIU Chapter is the <strong>“Best Community Award”</strong>. This award recognizes a chapter that has been actively involved in their department, school or community through a significant event that brings a positive change and contribution to the community. Our AEMB-FIU chapter was involved in the outreach program with Miami West middle school to promote an interest in STEM fields. This program was initiated by Rupak Dua under the guidance of his club faculty advisor Dr. Anthony McGoron and with the help of Stephanie Strange who is the director of the Office of Student Access and Success in engineering center, FIU. For the same service, Rupak Dua earlier, in May 2013, was awarded the “UGS Provost award” by the Graduate school at FIU.\r\n\r\nLast but not the least; the AEMB FIU Chapter’s Vice President Vishal Rampersad (M.S. student at BME, FIU) won the <strong>“Outstanding Member Chapter Award”</strong>. This award recognizes an AEMB chapter member who has had good involvement in chapter activities and events, and has served as a positive role model within the chapter and the department. Vishal deeply believes in the value of biomedical research and is interested in promoting its awareness through different platforms. He possesses an open forum for exchange of ideas and team effort. He was not only involved in the social events conducted by AEMB FIU chapter, but his active involvement in the development of outreach program and his efforts in trying to set up the collaboration with other neighboring AEMB chapters has been remarkable.\r\n\r\nOnce again congratulations to AEMB FIU chapter for winning the national awards and making the BME department and FIU proud at the national level.','Alpha Eta Mu Beta (AEMB), the Biomedical Engineering Honor Society makes Biomedical Engineering Department FIU Proud !','This year at BMES annual conference held at Seattle, WA, AEMB FIU chapter won three prestigious national awards at the annual reception of Alpha Eta Mu Beta National Biomedical Honor Society on October 26th 2013.','inherit','closed','closed','','3756-revision-v1','','','2017-06-08 09:58:42','2017-06-08 13:58:42','',3756,'https://bme.fiu.edu/2017/06/3756-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0);

With this rapid development, questions have arisen whether the use of these new nanoscale materials might have unintended hazards. While the number of nanoparticle types and applications continues to increase, studies to characterize their effects after exposure and to address their potential toxicity are few in comparison.\n\nThe goal of this effort is to investigate toxicity of nanomaterials at DNA, whole cell and tissue level using an integrated electronic sensing device. The biosensing device is capable of kinetically assessing toxicity for multiple samples.  In the system, the effects of nanoparticle exposure on cell behaviors such as cell attachment, cell motility, and oxidative DNA damage will be monitored by an embedded micro electrical biosensing device. Furthermore, a novel 3D in vitro cell culture model will be incorporated into the sensing system to mimic the response of in vivo blood brain barrier (BBB) following nanomaterials exposure. . In this context, the methodology becomes a truly powerful and throughput analytical device. This tool will help bridge scientific gaps and elucidate potential benefits and risks related to the use of nanoengineered materials.','Biosensing Devices for Cytotoxic and Genotoxic Assessment of Nanomaterials','Professor Chenzhong Li receives funding from the NIH- National Institutes of Environmental Health Sciences','inherit','closed','closed','','1632-revision-v1','','','2017-06-08 09:58:43','2017-06-08 13:58:43','',1632,'https://bme.fiu.edu/2017/06/1632-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0);

Dharam Persaud is a recipient of a grant sponsoring his project entitled “Novel Biodegradable Alloys for the Treatment of Cerebral Aneurysms”. His grant application ranked in the top percentile of all applicants and was one of only eight projects to be funded by the National Brain Aneurysm Foundation. Dharam is the only PhD student to be funded by the foundation, as other recipients included established Physician-Scientists, Research Faculty, and one Post-Doctoral Student from world renown research institutions such as the University of Southern California-Los Angeles, St. Michaels Hospital-University of Toronto, University of California, San Francisco, University of Florida, Thomas Jefferson University, University of Iowa, and the University of Texas-Houston.\n\nThe Brain Aneurysm Foundation is the nation’s only nonprofit organization solely dedicated to providing critical awareness, education, support and research funding to reduce the incidence of brain aneurysm ruptures. The organization also provides education materials and awareness information to health care professionals and the general population, as well as providing support for patients and their loved ones. The Brain Aneurysm Foundation relies on fundraising support from individuals and organizations to continue to fund education and research to promote early detection of brain aneurysms, which ultimately saves lives.\n\nDharam is currently conducting multi-disciplinary doctoral research under the supervision of Biomedical Engineering Associate Professor Dr. Anthony McGoron. When asked about this project and how it was developed Dharam said:  “This project aims to establish the relevancy of new biomaterials that I developed for the treatment of cerebral aneurysms, with the prospect that they can be developed into a new line of cost-efficient medical devices. I have always had an extreme attraction to the Neurosciences. As a child, I read a lot of books about the brain and its functions. It is very rewarding to finally be able to have an opportunity to research in realms which are self-motivating, and the ability to do this as a graduate student makes it even more special because it is extremely rare.”\n\nDharam is currently an MBRS RISE Scholar, which provides a full fellowship for the duration of his doctoral studies at Florida International University. This fellowship is supported with funds from the <em>National Institute of Health </em>(NIH), and the program at FIU is led by Dr. Charles Bigger.  Dharam is also a Graduate Senator for the Student Government Association at FIU, remains active in several co-curricular activities within the BME department and the South Florida community where he is an active mentor for the <em>I Have a Dream-Overtown</em> organization.\n\n“I would like to thank the wonderful <em>Brain Aneurysm Foundation </em>for believing in me and my project through this sponsorship. It is truly a blessing to have the opportunity to contribute to the scientific community in such a way to help resolve such a mysterious medical condition as cerebral aneurysms. Also, I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr. Anthony McGoron, who has always encouraged me to follow my own academic path and to explore science fearlessly, yet analytically.  Lastly, I would like to thank my mother who continues to be an inspiration in my life.”','Dharam Persaud Awarded a Grant from the National Brain Aneurysm Foundation','At 24 years old, Dharam Persaud M.S.B.E., a PhD student within the Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) has been awarded a grant from the National Brain Aneurysm Foundation.','inherit','closed','closed','','995-revision-v1','','','2017-06-08 09:58:44','2017-06-08 13:58:44','',995,'https://bme.fiu.edu/2017/06/995-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0);

The major problem in such attacks or accidents is to quickly detect toxins, including unknown toxins. To solve this problem, sensors are needed that are suitable for rapid, inexpensive, simple and effective (RISE) on-site detection in resource-limited settings enabling a comprehensive alert to known, as well as unknown toxins.\r\n\r\nDr. McGoron and Bharwaj determined that this could be achieved by developing a certain technology that measures cellular stress-induced proteins in eukaryotic cells exposed to environmental samples suspected of containing chemical or biological toxins. It uses a highly sensitive on-chip surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-linked immunosensors assay allowing for fast environmental threat detections.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_6723\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Vinay-2.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-6723\" src=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Vinay-2-300x177.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"177\" /></a> Vinay Bhardwaj[/caption]\r\n\r\nThe technology was also among the top three global inventions selected by CappSci Carcinogen Inventor Program and was showcased in the Frost Science Museum – Miami in November of 2015.\r\n\r\nPresently, Dr. McGoron and Bharwaj’s efforts and achievements have led them to negotiations with two companies regarding licensing the technology for monitoring the quality of toxins in food and drinking water.','Patent published for device that aids in the detection of toxins released into the environment','','inherit','closed','closed','','6598-revision-v1','','','2017-06-09 08:56:26','2017-06-09 12:56:26','',6598,'https://bme.fiu.edu/2017/06/6598-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0);

EFOF assists individuals with epilepsy and seizures to overcome challenges caused by epilepsy, and provides services and information that enables them to best manage their health and reduce their symptoms. This is an occasion for friends, family and loved ones of those living with epilepsy to come together, organize a team and walk to support this cause. The walk has become a staple in the epilepsy community. BME, as a supporter and researcher of the cause, was a sponsor of the event. Associate Professor Dr. Jorge Riera-Diaz and graduate student Carolina Moncion attended the event representing BME and the Neuronal Mass Dynamics Lab (NMD). This was NMD’s second year participating in Walk the Walk for Epilepsy. Dr. Riera and Carolina had the opportunity to talk to the community about the brain, how it functions, and how their lab is working towards improving the lives of those suffering from neurological disorders, especially epilepsy, through their research. “As part of the FIU BME department, Dr. Riera and I were able to offer unique insight to how broad the field is and some of the areas of research available” says Carolina. “Thanks to this we were able to educate and recruit possible future BME students.” Thank you to Dr. Riera and Carolina for attending the event, and congratulations to the Epilepsy Foundation for hosting a wonderful event!','Epilepsy Walk','','publish','closed','closed','','epilepsy-walk','','','2018-05-14 13:09:27','2018-05-14 17:09:27','',0,'https://bme.fiu.edu/?p=14948',0,'post','',0);

In the spring of 2013, he arrived at FIU, and started serving as a TA for the Department of Biomedical Engineering in the fall, 2014. This was not his first experience as a TA. About 13 years ago, as a sophomore, he served as a TA for ordinary differential equations and engineering mathematics in the Department of Mathematics at Sharif University. It’s a role he held for five academic years until he completed his master’s. During that time, he was also involved in the co-authoring of a book on ordinary differential equations in Farsi.\r\n\r\n“As a teacher, I believe that motivation and love of learning, not intimidation of receiving a poor grade, should be the reason students attend a class and invest their efforts in studying the material.” Arash said. “This has been the goal that I have striven for ever since I started teaching.”\r\n\r\nArash has served as a TA for several courses: biomedical engineering modeling and simulation (BME 2740), biomedical engineering transport phenomena (BME 3632), cell and tissue engineering (BME 4332), biomedical engineering lab II (BME 4051L) and biomedical engineering lab I preparation. Additionally, he’s provided support in other graduate courses such as nonlinear dynamics and advanced biofluidics.\r\n\r\n“Arash is very enthusiastic and patient when teaching; he’s approachable and friendly to students, and has an excellent ability to convey even the most challenging concepts in very simple terms,” said Jorge Riera, associate professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, and Arash’s co-major Ph.D. advisor.\r\n\r\n“Arash has been the only T.A.

Miami Heart Month was created by assistant professor Joshua Hutcheson, whose research is focused on the mechanisms of cardiovascular tissue maintenance and remodeling.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-14803 alignleft\" src=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/DSC_0110-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" />\r\n\r\nResearch in Dr. Hutcheson’s lab, Cardiovascular Matrix Remodeling Lab (<a href=\"https://hutchesonlab.fiu.edu/\">CMRL</a>),focuses on the mechanismsthrough which tissues are built and maintained and the pathological changes that lead to disease. Their primary focus is on cardiovascular disease–the leading cause of death in Western societies. Their research combinesadvanced imaging, materials science, biomechanics, and molecular biology to connect cellular processes to tissue function. By understanding the ways that cells sense and respond to each other and to changes in their environment, researchers are developing new ways to detect initiators of disease and find interventions that restore tissue to a normal state. Accomplishing these goals requires an interdisciplinary effort with researchers working at the interface between bioengineering and molecular biology.\r\n\r\nDr. Hutcheson came up with the idea to bring awareness to cardiovascular disease through the presentation of the Miami community’s research. We welcomed researchers from several departments within FIU, as well as researchers at UM, Nova, and Baptist, who presented outstanding work! “The goal of the Heart Day Symposium was to gather cardiovascular researchers from across South Florida to learn from each other and discuss current research and lingering challenges in cardiovascular medicine”, says Dr. Hutcheson. “We look forward to building on this momentum to make Heart Day an annual event.”\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/DSC_0113.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-14804 alignright\" src=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/DSC_0113-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" /></a>With the help of the Wallace H.

Miami Heart Month was created by assistant professor Joshua Hutcheson, whose research is focused on the mechanisms of cardiovascular tissue maintenance and remodeling.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-14803 alignleft\" src=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/DSC_0110-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" />\r\n\r\nResearch in Dr. Hutcheson’s lab, Cardiovascular Matrix Remodeling Lab (<a href=\"https://hutchesonlab.fiu.edu/\">CMRL</a>),focuses on the mechanismsthrough which tissues are built and maintained and the pathological changes that lead to disease. Their primary focus is on cardiovascular disease–the leading cause of death in Western societies. Their research combinesadvanced imaging, materials science, biomechanics, and molecular biology to connect cellular processes to tissue function. By understanding the ways that cells sense and respond to each other and to changes in their environment, researchers are developing new ways to detect initiators of disease and find interventions that restore tissue to a normal state. Accomplishing these goals requires an interdisciplinary effort with researchers working at the interface between bioengineering and molecular biology.\r\n\r\nDr. Hutcheson came up with the idea to bring awareness to cardiovascular disease through the presentation of the Miami community’s research. We welcomed researchers from several departments within FIU, as well as researchers at UM, Nova, and Baptist, who presented outstanding work! “The goal of the Heart Day Symposium was to gather cardiovascular researchers from across South Florida to learn from each other and discuss current research and lingering challenges in cardiovascular medicine”, says Dr. Hutcheson. “We look forward to building on this momentum to make Heart Day an annual event.”\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/DSC_0113.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-14804 alignright\" src=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/DSC_0113-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" /></a>With the help of the Wallace H. Coulter Foundation Lecture Series, the department was able to sponsor four speakers to give lectures and participate in a Q&amp;A panel on Heart Day, as well as three additional speakers throughout the month of February.  We welcomed <a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Frederick-Schoen.pdf\">Dr. Frederick Schoen</a> (Brigham and Women’s Hospital), <a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Joshua-Hare-3.jpg\">Dr. Frank Scholl</a> (Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital), <a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Joshua-Hare-4.jpg\">Dr. Steven Bibevski</a> (Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital), and <a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Joshua-Hare-2.jpg\">Dr. Joshua Hare</a> (University of Miami Miller School of Medicine), who each spoke about their take on cardiovascular research, and how they apply it in their daily lives.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-14806 alignright\" src=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/IMG_3890-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" />We also had the privilege of welcoming Florida Heart Research Foundation and Miami Heart Research Institute to table at our poster session to promote and support excellence in cardiovascular research in Florida. Executive Director Nancy Cavalie informed attendees about their $25,000 award for “Stop Heart Disease Researcher of the Year Award” to conduct additional research in the cardiovascular field.

Of course, Valentines’ Day makes February special.\"</span></p>\r\nCongratulations to the Department of Biomedical Engineering, Dr. Joshua Hutcheson, and all research participants who put together this outstanding event.
