This program took a great shape in Feb,2013. Rupak along with his fellow colleague (Vishal Rampershad) went to middle school and organized their club first workshop, with around 120 small children listening to us with all their dreams in their eye. The main aim for their workshop was to make them aware of higher education and  make students interested in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics).\r\n\r\nOther than this program, Rupak  has in  the past have participated in community events such as the “Susan G Komen Race” to benefit cancer research, and the “Cystic Fibrosis Walk”, American heart association walk. Every year, at engineering campus of FIU organizes The Engineering expo at engineering center. As a part  of this expo school students are given a tour of FIU labs, and they are shown the miracles of engineering  that make them interested not only  in engineering but also in the field of sciences. Rupak have been working as an ambassador for the past 5 years and worked in the spirit of motivating these students to strive for something extraordinary.\r\n\r\nRupak is an organ donor and  has always try to participate in the medical research where they need human volunteers to conducts experiment to benefit the community as a whole.\r\n\r\nHe has been actively involved in the events held in the department and is the president of Alpha Eta Mu Beta, who recently won the overall outstanding organization award at FIU.\r\n\r\nUGS was impressed by his engagement in all these activities at a graduate level, so he was awarded with the Provost award.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nOnce again congratulations to Rupak Dua.','Rupak Dua, a Biomedical Engineering Student , won University Graduate School Provost award','','publish','open','open','','rupak-dua-provost-award','','','2017-06-08 09:58:42','2017-06-08 13:58:42','',0,'https://bme.fiu.edu/?p=4418',18,'post','',0);

These individuals are highly disabled and are typically entirely dependent on outside assistance for every activity essential for daily life. The currently available options for improving the functional independence of these individuals are extremely limited. Our group has been working for more than 15 years to develop an implanted neuroprosthesis that uses functional electrical stimulation (FES) to activate the paralyzed muscles of the shoulder, arm, and hand in a coordinated manner that restores the ability of the recipient to use their upper extremity in functional activities. This presentation will summarize the activities of my group to develop this approach, including: (1) the use of modeling and simulation to establish initial feasibility of the FES system, to develop feedback control systems, and to provide a virtual arm interface for initial evaluations of user interfaces, (2) the evaluation of several novel user command interfaces (including implanted brain recordings) to allow the user to direct the actions of their arm and hand , and (3) the final integration of all these components into a functional system that has been surgically deployed in two individuals with high tetraplegia.\r\n<h3>Robert F.

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','','publish','closed','closed','','senior-design-projects','','','2019-04-22 11:16:42','2019-04-22 15:16:42','',2934,'https://bme.fiu.edu/?page_id=4537',18,'page','',0);

This program took a great shape in Feb,2013. Rupak along with his fellow colleague (Vishal Rampershad) went to middle school and organized their club first workshop, with around 120 small children listening to us with all their dreams in their eye. The main aim for their workshop was to make them aware of higher education and  make students interested in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics).\r\n\r\nOther than this program, Rupak  has in  the past have participated in community events such as the “Susan G Komen Race” to benefit cancer research, and the “Cystic Fibrosis Walk”, American heart association walk. Every year, at engineering campus of FIU organizes The Engineering expo at engineering center. As a part  of this expo school students are given a tour of FIU labs, and they are shown the miracles of engineering  that make them interested not only  in engineering but also in the field of sciences. Rupak have been working as an ambassador for the past 5 years and worked in the spirit of motivating these students to strive for something extraordinary.\r\n\r\nRupak is an organ donor and  has always try to participate in the medical research where they need human volunteers to conducts experiment to benefit the community as a whole.\r\n\r\nHe has been actively involved in the events held in the department and is the president of Alpha Eta Mu Beta, who recently won the overall outstanding organization award at FIU.\r\n\r\nUGS was impressed by his engagement in all these activities at a graduate level, so he was awarded with the Provost award.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nOnce again congratulations to Rupak Dua.','Rupak Dua, a Biomedical Engineering Student , won University Graduate School Provost award','','inherit','open','closed','','4418-revision-v1','','','2014-04-22 15:39:36','2014-04-22 19:39:36','',4418,'https://bme.fiu.edu/2014/04/4418-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0);

Morgan’s head of U.S. Southeast Private Bank Phil Conway and Florida State Rep. Erik Fresen on the use of innovation and tech in education reform. Conway opened the discussion by, in his own words, “being a bit provocative”: “There are lot of articles out there that say education today is failing us. So what is FIU doing?”</p>\r\n<p style=\"color: #676767;\">Rosenberg responded, in part, by saying, “Universities are capable of disrupting ourselves” and pointing out that at FIU, “We have a lot of leaders who want to shake things up.” The two men spoke at length about the successful collaboration between FIU and J.P. Morgan in <a style=\"color: #1d86b7;\" href=\"http://engagement.fiu.edu/developing-the-community/the-education-effect/index.html\">The Education Effect</a>. Since 2011, with a seed investment from JPMorgan Chase, FIU has worked in collaboration with Miami-Dade County Public Schools to improve student achievement, increase graduation rates and promote a pathway to post-secondary education.</p>\r\n<p style=\"color: #676767;\">“As a public institution, we have to make a decision every day on whether or not we’re going to have an impact on this community,” said the president. “We have choices. We can curse the darkness and move on or turn into it and figure it out. We did just that with the Education Effect.”</p>\r\n<p style=\"color: #676767;\">All three men were in agreement that the allocation of resources must be more intentional than in years past. With every dollar the Legislature spends, Fresen said, legislators must ask themselves, “Will this initiative help us meet the needs of the 21st century?”</p>\r\n<p style=\"color: #676767;\">FIU’s <a style=\"color: #1d86b7;\" href=\"http://news.fiu.edu/2014/03/state-rewards-fiu-usf-and-ucf-collaboration-with-8-5m-in-grants/75809\">new collaboration</a> with University of Central Florida and University of South Florida is aiming to do that.

Morgan’s head of U.S. Southeast Private Bank Phil Conway and Florida State Rep. Erik Fresen on the use of innovation and tech in education reform. Conway opened the discussion by, in his own words, “being a bit provocative”: “There are lot of articles out there that say education today is failing us. So what is FIU doing?”</p>\r\n<p style=\"color: #676767;\">Rosenberg responded, in part, by saying, “Universities are capable of disrupting ourselves” and pointing out that at FIU, “We have a lot of leaders who want to shake things up.” The two men spoke at length about the successful collaboration between FIU and J.P. Morgan in <a style=\"color: #1d86b7;\" href=\"http://engagement.fiu.edu/developing-the-community/the-education-effect/index.html\">The Education Effect</a>. Since 2011, with a seed investment from JPMorgan Chase, FIU has worked in collaboration with Miami-Dade County Public Schools to improve student achievement, increase graduation rates and promote a pathway to post-secondary education.</p>\r\n<p style=\"color: #676767;\">“As a public institution, we have to make a decision every day on whether or not we’re going to have an impact on this community,” said the president. “We have choices. We can curse the darkness and move on or turn into it and figure it out. We did just that with the Education Effect.”</p>\r\n<p style=\"color: #676767;\">All three men were in agreement that the allocation of resources must be more intentional than in years past. With every dollar the Legislature spends, Fresen said, legislators must ask themselves, “Will this initiative help us meet the needs of the 21st century?”</p>\r\n<p style=\"color: #676767;\">FIU’s <a style=\"color: #1d86b7;\" href=\"http://news.fiu.edu/2014/03/state-rewards-fiu-usf-and-ucf-collaboration-with-8-5m-in-grants/75809\">new collaboration</a> with University of Central Florida and University of South Florida is aiming to do that. So, too, is the university’s push to increase the number of available internships to students.</p>\r\n<p style=\"color: #676767;\">“We can’t get that done, however, unless we have buy-in from the private sector,” said Rosenberg.</p>\r\n<p style=\"color: #676767;\">source: <a href=\"https://cec.fiu.edu/2014/05/fiu-establishes-impressive-presence-at-tech-conference/\">https://cec.fiu.edu/2014/05/fiu-establishes-impressive-presence-at-tech-conference/</a></p>','FIU establishes impressive presence at tech conference','','inherit','closed','closed','','4616-revision-v1','','','2015-01-05 09:58:19','2015-01-05 14:58:19','',4616,'https://bme.fiu.edu/2015/01/4616-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0);

Coulter Eminent Scholars Chair of Biomedical Engineering at FIU. “In his keynote address, Dr. William Potter [the co-chair emeritus of the Neuroscience Steering Committee for the Foundation of National Institutes of Health] mentioned that the use of technology to find biomarkers is most important. Dr. Godavarty’s work in optical imagery is ripe for moving forward.\r\n\r\n“As Dr. Potter mentioned, that’s the future, and our faculty are already working on the next generation of tech that will make a difference in all our lives.

Ramaswamy’s bioreactor is designed for dynamically culturing engineered tissues across physiologically-relevant scales of flow, cyclic stretch and cyclic flexure, or any combination of these states. In other words, the bioreactor can replicate mechanical stresses of flow alone, or coupled with flexure and/or stretch states, that cardiovascular tissues would experience <em>in vivo</em> under normal or diseased states.\r\n\r\nThe device is compact and able to fit in a standard incubator. Several studies with this device are thus possible, with the intent of elucidating cell and tissue responses to these mechanical environments, which are highly relevant to cardiovascular regenerative medicine and cardiovascular disease. An added novel feature of this bioreactor is that it is MRI compatible, thereby permitting the noninvasive and nondestructive longitudinal monitoring of cell and tissue growth.\r\n\r\nThe idea was first developed in 2008, while Ramaswamy was working at the University of Pittsburgh. The six-year process has culminated in the invention of a device that could help answer several questions of interest in the context of cardiovascular mechanobiology. Ramaswamy affirms, “We have developed an adaptable device that can re-create a variety of sub-physiological, physiological, and supra-physiological stresses that engineered cardiovascular and valvular tissues may encounter during blood flow.”\r\n\r\nAt Florida International University, Ramaswamy and his students use the device regularly (Tissue Engineered Mechanics Imaging and Materials Laboratory/TEMIM Lab). He sees great potential in the device and research is ongoing in his lab. One example involves applying specific mechanical stresses onto bone marrow stem cells which can lead to differentiated cells and engineered heart valve tissues that recapitulate native valve cell and tissues properties respectively. Ramaswamy expects these important findings to be published next year (2015).\r\n\r\nFor more information on Ramaswamy’s research and his patent, please visit <a href=\"http://temim.fiu.edu/\">http://temim.fiu.edu/</a>','Sharan Ramaswamy receives U.S. Patent for Flow-Stretch-Flexure Bioreactor','','publish','closed','closed','','sharan-ramaswamy-receives-u-s-patent-for-flow-stretch-flexure-bioreactor','','','2015-01-12 14:46:47','2015-01-12 19:46:47','',0,'https://bme.fiu.edu/?p=5085',0,'post','',0);

A culmination of the biomedical engineering students’ extensive efforts during their undergraduate degrees, the capstone projects bring together their original ideas, advanced designs, and innovative solutions, and allow them to create practical solutions for industry problems.\r\n\r\n“The work these students are doing is highly technical,” said Varinia Consiglio-Yanez, staff manufacturing engineer with Beckman Coulter, Inc., one of five industry experts brought in to judge each group’s presentation and pick a winner based on strict criteria. As FIU’s first Biomedical Engineering graduate back in 2004 (there were six people in her class), Consiglio-Yanez was impressed with the incredible development of the department over the past decade.\r\n\r\n“The department has grown a lot in the last 10 years,” she said. “We see a lot of combinations of electrical, mechanical and programming into one project, which is something we didn’t have before. What we saw there today is a more complete delivered project. We saw that the teams were strategically chosen in a sense that you have different skills brought into the team. We saw a lot of teamwork and high quality projects.”\r\n\r\nThe other judges included Yasushi Kato, vice president of research and development, Innovia LLC; Pedro “Peter” Hernandez, director, FIU Technology Management and Commercialization; Alfredo Moran Hassan, project manager, Epic Consultants; and\r\n\r\nJorge Millan, executive director, Hialeah Technology Center.\r\n\r\nThis year’s event showcased the work from 33 seniors who with the collaboration of corporate sponsors and FIU faculty, presented on topics that ranged across many important areas in the biomedical engineering field.\r\n\r\nThe winning team designed a spinal bone graft applicator to be used in the operating room by neurosurgeons during spinal fusion procedures.

A culmination of the biomedical engineering students’ extensive efforts during their undergraduate degrees, the capstone projects bring together their original ideas, advanced designs, and innovative solutions, and allow them to create practical solutions for industry problems.\r\n\r\n“The work these students are doing is highly technical,” said Varinia Consiglio-Yanez, staff manufacturing engineer with Beckman Coulter, Inc., one of five industry experts brought in to judge each group’s presentation and pick a winner based on strict criteria. As FIU’s first Biomedical Engineering graduate back in 2004 (there were six people in her class), Consiglio-Yanez was impressed with the incredible development of the department over the past decade.\r\n\r\n“The department has grown a lot in the last 10 years,” she said. “We see a lot of combinations of electrical, mechanical and programming into one project, which is something we didn’t have before. What we saw there today is a more complete delivered project. We saw that the teams were strategically chosen in a sense that you have different skills brought into the team. We saw a lot of teamwork and high quality projects.”\r\n\r\nThe other judges included Yasushi Kato, vice president of research and development, Innovia LLC; Pedro “Peter” Hernandez, director, FIU Technology Management and Commercialization; Alfredo Moran Hassan, project manager, Epic Consultants; and\r\n\r\nJorge Millan, executive director, Hialeah Technology Center.\r\n\r\nThis year’s event showcased the work from 33 seniors who with the collaboration of corporate sponsors and FIU faculty, presented on topics that ranged across many important areas in the biomedical engineering field.\r\n\r\nThe winning team designed a spinal bone graft applicator to be used in the operating room by neurosurgeons during spinal fusion procedures.

The grant is entitled “Spinal stimulation for neuropathic pain,” and will aid his research that focuses on individuals with neuropathic pain following spinal cord injury.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_13954\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"200\"]<a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/JMcPherson-001-200x300-2.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-13954\" src=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/JMcPherson-001-200x300-2-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" /></a> Jacob McPherson, Ph.D.[/caption]\r\n\r\nNeuropathic pain resulting from spinal cord injury (SCI) impacts up to 80% of individuals with SCI. Physical disabilities are made worse by SCI-related neuropathic pain, which limits or even prevents participation in physical therapy and reduces overall activity level. In addition to the psychosocial burden this places on individuals, the consequences of limited physical activity for the SCI population are severe. Pressure ulcers, cardiovascular decline, and metabolic changes are all leading causes of morbidity post-SCI that arise from limited activity. Unfortunately, therapies for SCI-related pain rarely afford satisfactory relief, and often rely heavily on opioids.\r\n\r\nExcessive activation of neurons that process pain-related sensory information is a key component of SCI-related neuropathic pain, even when no painful stimuli are present. For example, in some people simply the touch of clothing against the skin can evoke sensations of burning or pins and needles. Electrical stimulation of the spinal cord is a promising new approach for relief, but the efficacy of current stimulators is limited and the beneficial effects tend to diminish rapidly once stimulation is removed. McPherson and his research team hypothesize that it may be possible to reduce the excessive neural activity that drives SCI-related neuropathic pain by using a novel neural-computer interface to precisely regulate the timing of this activity, effectively ‘retraining’ the nervous system to become less responsive to the false triggers.\r\n\r\nBy receiving the grant, McPherson and his research will benefit from research funds, salary support, scientific/professional develop mentorship, and clinical training. Dr. McPherson’s research and professional development mentors are Dr. Ranu Jung, PhD, Interim Dean of the College of Engineering and Computing and Wallace H. Coulter Eminent Scholars Chair of Biomedical Engineering at FIU, and Dr. Monica Perez, PT, PhD, Associate Professor of Neurological Surgery at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.','Grant Awarded to Aid in Neuropathic Pain Following Spinal Cord Injury Research','','inherit','closed','closed','','13953-revision-v1','','','2017-07-13 09:44:31','2017-07-13 13:44:31','',13953,'https://bme.fiu.edu/2017/07/13953-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0);

Godavarty was honored for her and her team’s research efforts that have led to multiple inventions of portable, hand-held imaging devices that show early promise in improving the diagnosis of breast cancer and in aiding the pre-screening of sports injuries and other on-site body imaging applications.\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1841\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"576\" caption=\"Dr. Anuradha Godavarty\"]<a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/banner-godavarty.jpg\"><img class=\" wp-image-1841\" title=\"banner-godavarty\" src=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/banner-godavarty.jpg\" alt=\"banner-godavarty\" width=\"576\" height=\"270\" /></a>[/caption]\n\n&nbsp;\n\nThe awards program honors individuals, institutions, professionals, students, volunteers and programs who throughout their individual or collective actions have made an extraordinary impact in the South Florida healthcare community.\n\n“One of the grand challenges for engineering this century, as set by the National Academy of Engineering, is ‘engineering better medicine,’” said COE Dean Amir Mirmiran. “This award is a recognition of the heroic work of engineers supporting the healthcare industry, and a testament to why engineering is essential to our health, happiness and safety.”\n\nAfter a decade of focusing research efforts on breast imaging, Godavarty and her team invented the first hand-held optical device capable of 3-D tumor detection. The device is showing early promise in improving the diagnosis of breast cancer. Best used in conjunction with standard diagnostic imaging tools, the new device complements x-ray mammography and has the potential for cancer diagnostics as well as tumor response therapy studies. The technology is neither radiative nor invasive, and the patient experiences no pain or discomfort from breast compressions. The experience for the patient mimics the experience of getting an ultrasound. Since optical imaging tools are relatively inexpensive and portable, the device makes diagnostic testing more feasible and affordable for most patients.\n\n“Winning this award is the first step towards community awareness of emerging optical technologies to the healthcare world. This award is not just for me, but for my entire research group who work hard to see it happen, and my family and friends who always supported my belief in our technology,” said Godavarty. “Thanks to FIU and the nominators for promoting my research on breast cancer using novel optical technologies. The award will truly earn its meaning when our technology can change the lives of people, especially women, in the future.”\n\nIn the past two years, Godavarty has invented a second hand-held device that mimics an x-ray mammography as well as an ultrasound device (in its imaging style). This has the added advantage of deep tumor detections and improving imaging speeds. In the past few months, Godavarty has invented a third, ultra-portable hand-held device that is applicable for pre-screening breast cancer, sports injuries and other on-site body imaging applications. The device is inexpensive and thus appropriate for even low resource income countries with limited health care technologies.\n\n“Dr. Godavarty and her dedicated team of fellows and students exemplify the ‘discover, design, develop and deliver’ mantra of biomedical engineers,” said Ranu Jung, Wallace H. Coulter Eminent Scholars Chair of Biomedical Engineering and chair of the Department of Biomedical Engineering. “The novel technology for breast tumor imaging they have developed will not only impact many women’s lives but has potential for changing delivery of clinical care, particularly in resource-challenged communities.”\n\nGodavarty’s award was in the Bio-Medical category.

INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (5023,22,'2014-10-29 12:16:13','2014-10-29 16:16:13','After Florida International University began allowing students to pick their majors during their freshman year, BME 1008 was inaugurated to help students understand what a degree in biomedical engineering truly entails. Initially offered by Jorge Riera and Shuliang Jiao, both associate professors of biomedical engineering, the course was designed to help students explore different ways to achieve an optimal career path in the field of biomedical engineering. The class aimed at providing students with the background and technical knowledge required to advance throughout the different levels of an undergraduate degree in biomedical engineering.\r\n\r\nTwo years later, BME 1008 Introduction to Biomedical Engineering has increased its credit hours from one to two credits. Through collaboration with the STEM Transformation Institute and a grant from the Office of Naval Research (ONR), Riera was selected to serve as an ONR Faculty Scholar. The program supports course transformation by providing learning assistants, summer planning support, and participation in a course design institute at the Center for the Advancement of Teaching. As part of the course, Riera invites experts with different backgrounds and experiences in academics, industry, and healthcare to serve as guest lecturers. Engaging with professionals in the field allows students the opportunity to further explore the diverse aspects of the discipline.\r\n\r\nThe main areas of transformation include the introduction of lab experience and technical programming in MatLab and the incorporation of guided learning activities. The added experience allows students to examine real world problems addressed by biomedical engineers from a multidisciplinary approach, allowing them find solutions and discover new ideas. As part of the ONR Faculty Scholar program, three Learning Assistants (LAs), upper level undergraduate students, Karla Alejandra Montejo, Elizabeth Solis, and Teresa Milan work alongside Riera in engaging students in active learning exercises and supporting student learning.\r\n\r\nThe two main active learning exercises are the Shark Tank and Bioethics Debate. Much like the senior design projects, the Shark Tank assignment affords students the opportunity to apply their classroom learning into practical industry designs. As a team, students create detailed presentations to present in front of an expert panel of judges – their fellow classmates. Each group has the opportunity to serve as the entrepreneurs and the investors. Thinking beyond current technologies, the goal of the project is to look into the future of biomedical engineering and present a proposal for a medical device that may become available to the public in the next 20 years. The final proposals are judged by the Biomedical Engineering Society’s Student Organization (BMES). Riera says, “The students do an excellent job working together to come up with practical solutions. It is a fun assignment that has real world applications.”\r\n\r\nIn the Bioethics Debate, the students tackle the hot topics in biomedical engineering.

Initially offered by Jorge Riera and Shuliang Jiao, both associate professors of biomedical engineering, the course was designed to help students explore different ways to achieve an optimal career path in the field of biomedical engineering. The class aimed at providing students with the background and technical knowledge required to advance throughout the different levels of an undergraduate degree in biomedical engineering.\r\n\r\nTwo years later, BME 1008 Introduction to Biomedical Engineering has increased its credit hours from one to two credits. Through collaboration with the STEM Transformation Institute and a grant from the Office of Naval Research (ONR), Riera was selected to serve as an ONR Faculty Scholar. The program supports course transformation by providing learning assistants, summer planning support, and participation in a course design institute at the Center for the Advancement of Teaching. As part of the course, Riera invites experts with different backgrounds and experiences in academics, industry, and healthcare to serve as guest lecturers. Engaging with professionals in the field allows students the opportunity to further explore the diverse aspects of the discipline.\r\n\r\nThe main areas of transformation include the introduction of lab experience and technical programming in MatLab and the incorporation of guided learning activities. The added experience allows students to examine real world problems addressed by biomedical engineers from a multidisciplinary approach, allowing them find solutions and discover new ideas. As part of the ONR Faculty Scholar program, three Learning Assistants (LAs), upper level undergraduate students, Karla Alejandra Montejo, Elizabeth Solis, and Teresa Milan work alongside Riera in engaging students in active learning exercises and supporting student learning.\r\n\r\nThe two main active learning exercises are the Shark Tank and Bioethics Debate. Much like the senior design projects, the Shark Tank assignment affords students the opportunity to apply their classroom learning into practical industry designs. As a team, students create detailed presentations to present in front of an expert panel of judges – their fellow classmates. Each group has the opportunity to serve as the entrepreneurs and the investors. Thinking beyond current technologies, the goal of the project is to look into the future of biomedical engineering and present a proposal for a medical device that may become available to the public in the next 20 years. The final proposals are judged by the Biomedical Engineering Society’s Student Organization (BMES). Riera says, “The students do an excellent job working together to come up with practical solutions. It is a fun assignment that has real world applications.”\r\n\r\nIn the Bioethics Debate, the students tackle the hot topics in biomedical engineering. The topics are often controversial and encourage the students to take a multidisciplinary approach when coming up with solutions. There are no easy answers. The most recent debates surrounded the ZMapp vaccine used for the treatment of the Ebola virus and the use of cannabis (medical marijuana) for treating patients with epilepsy. The active learning assignments are designed to force the students to apply their classroom work in a way that resembles the issues they will face in their careers as biomedical engineers.\r\n\r\nThe transformation of BME 1008 has been an exciting process for the students and faculty. Riera believes, “The students leave this class with the foundation needed for a successful journey as a BME undergrad.”\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_5029\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"687\"]<a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/5.png\"><img class=\"wp-image-5029 size-full\" src=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/5.png\" alt=\"5\" width=\"687\" height=\"263\" /></a> Karla Alejandra Montejo, Elizabeth Solis, and Teresa Milan[/caption]\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_5026\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"997\"]<a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/4.jpg\"><img class=\"wp-image-5026 size-full\" src=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/4.jpg\" alt=\"BME 1008 Lab Photo\" width=\"997\" height=\"748\" /></a> BME 1008 Lab Photo[/caption]','BME 1008 Introduction to Biomedical Engineering Increases Credit Hours','','inherit','closed','closed','','5023-revision-v1','','','2014-10-29 12:16:47','2014-10-29 16:16:47','',5023,'https://bme.fiu.edu/2014/10/5023-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0);

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','','publish','closed','closed','','fiu-researcher-wins-young-investigator-award','','','2017-06-07 16:09:33','2017-06-07 20:09:33','',0,'https://bme.fiu.edu/?p=5105',0,'post','',0);

Pittcon is the world’s leading annual conference and expo on laboratory science. The conference offers a unique opportunity for a hands-on experience featuring the latest innovations. Pittcon offers attendees a chance to network with industry colleagues, a chance to participate in research presentation viewing from over 2,000 presenters covering a diverse selection of topics, as well as the chance to participate in skill-building short courses throughout the event. The conference welcomes attendees from both the industry and academia from 90+ countries!\r\n\r\nOn February 26, three FIU BME students were welcomed into Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, not only as conference presenters, but as volunteer organizers for the event itself. Students from Dr. Chenzhong Li’s Nanobioengineering/Bioelectronics Lab, were selected by the conference organizing committee to voluntarily serve at the conference. The students from Dr. Li’s lab have continually served in the conference since 2012, and have received an exceptional reputation by performing and excelling in their assignments during the conferences, therefore, their selection to be student aids to service for the conference was evident. The engagement of FIU students to the international scientific event also met the mission of the educational outreach development of NSF funded ERC (Engineering Research Center) projects. These students were partially sponsored by NSF ERC projects No.EEC-1648451 (PATHSUP) and No. EEC-1647837 (CELLMET). We interviewed two students selected to attend Pittcon and asked them a few questions. Read responses below from Mehenur Sarwar and Maedeh Mozneb.\r\n\r\n<strong>BME: What did you learn from attending Pittcon?</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>MS:</strong> <em>I learned about new techniques in Nano-bioelectronics, Optical, and many other biomedical disciplines. Additionally, I received information about new techniques and products that will save me time in the lab or help me to produce more accurate results. At the Pittcon conference, I got the opportunity to engage in conversation with biomedical technical experts.</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>MM:</strong> <em>It was a great opportunity to see the state of art technologies in the field of biomedical engineering and chemistry. The demo zones provided detailed protocol of running specific devices or techniques in half a day and were very beneficial. I got great connections from all over the nation, both academic and industrial and they are very responsive to all the follow ups. It was a great honor to be nominated to attend the Pittcon conference. All the feedback I got on my poster presentation from the experts in the field and other fellow researchers at high ranked universities were very constructive towards fast forwarding my research and brought new perspectives into my sight for future applications. </em>\r\n\r\n<strong>BME: How/why were you selected as an event organizer?</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>MS:</strong> <em>Professor Chenzhong Li informed us about the volunteer opportunity at Pittcon, and later we communicated with [Pittcon organizers] to find out our assignments and schedule. </em>\r\n\r\n<strong>MM:</strong> <em>My advisor Dr. Li, has been a part of Pittcon for so many years and I was very honored to be nominated as a conference organizer. The background of the work you do at lab, the interactions with the community and the research stand point are very important in being selected as a candidate to attend. </em>\r\n\r\n<strong>BME: What did you do as an event volunteer during the conference?</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>MS:</strong> <em>During the conference, I worked in the Demo Zone and the Swamp Stop booth.</em>\r\n\r\n<em>At the expo floor\'s demonstration zone, there were two live demo areas where attendees participated in 20-minute, interactive product demonstrations.  Their products included air monitoring, new techniques in water testing, innovative products to increase lab efficiency, and recent developments in spectroscopy, spectral databases, and techniques for using hazardous materials. My role as a volunteer in this event was following:</em>\r\n\r\n<em>- Assist the presenter to set up the instrument</em>\r\n\r\n<em>- Reporting to the organizer of the event (audience size, whether they looked engaged or not, length of presentation, etc.). These pieces of information were important to collect because based on these results, they will select next year\'s presenter.</em>\r\n\r\n<em>Additionally, I volunteered at swamp stop booth by admitting the participant, informing the processes of the game, and notifying about the exciting reward for the winner as well as for all the participants. This booth had seven different scientific challenges like Refractometer Game – where the participant had 60 seconds to measure the concentration of  10 different salt solutions, Not Seeing is Still Believing Game- where participant identified various substances only seeing through an opaque container with Raman system and many more interesting games. </em>\r\n\r\n<strong>MM:</strong> <em>I was in charge of the marketing part of the conference. I asked attendees for feedback on the conference, took pictures on the red carpet, handed out goodies from the conference, and made arrangements. </em>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-7417 alignright\" style=\"color: #333333; font-style: normal;\" src=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/20180228_112406-768x432.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" />\r\n\r\n<strong>BME: Did you present at the conference? </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>MM:</strong> <em>I presented my poster at the conference, and it was very popular! The research topic is currently funded by NSF ERC projects.</em>\r\n\r\n<em>*Click <a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/PITTCON-Abstract.docx\">here</a> to read Maedeh’s abstract.</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>BME: What leadership skills did you attain while participating in the conference?</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>MS:</strong> <em>As part of demo zone assistance I interacted with different scientific vendors, learned about their new products. I coordinated with technical support systems before launching the event to get a quick assistance if any unseen problem arises.</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>MM:</strong> <em>We had organized a complete conference (Nanoflorida2017) that was held in Miami last September. It was a small conference (200 attendees), but it gave us so much to appreciate now at how the Pittcon was run and planned well in advance. The distribution of personnel, expo funding and set up, activities to be provided from attendees, were all part of the skills we learned at Pittcon to be applied in our next NanoFlorida conference. </em>\r\n\r\n<strong>BME: Any advice for students interested in attending/organizing a conference?</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>MS:</strong> <em>If you are interested in joining a conference, try to become a volunteer they will cover almost every expenditure. Also, you never know who are you going to meet, so bring your business card or a paper copy of resume to the event. To be in the volunteer list contact early.</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>MM:</strong> <em>The conference is for nominated students from all universities and the higher the scholar\'s honor of the student the better chance that person has for being nominated. The atmosphere of the conferences very friendly and constructive. The smartest people in the field attending this conference will give you constructive comments and information regarding your research and how to improve your thought process. Anyone you speak with in the conference will be a learning opportunity and that\'s what I loved from attending Pittcon. </em>\r\n\r\n<strong>BME: Overall thoughts on your experience?</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>MS:</strong> <em>The scientific field is always evolving. It is of utmost importance that we keep in touch with new discoveries in science. Pittcon is the world\'s leading annual conference and exposition on laboratory science. Roughly, attendees from 90 countries joined in this conference. I am very glad that I had the opportunity to meet different scholars around the world. </em>\r\n\r\n<strong>MM:</strong> <em>It was a very fun conference to attend. Not only it had all the cutting edge scientific information on the medical devices, sensors and chemical techniques that is necessary to be updated on, it also had so many fun activities. We entered into two scientific tournaments that had several booths for testing different techniques such as pipetting, FTIR, our information of the history of science and the periodic table etc. It had a couple of virtual reality booths, so many demo zones, great symposium on many subjects of interest, and so many after-hours activities such as the Universal Studios experience. </em>\r\n\r\n<strong>BME: Final thoughts or any additional information you’d like researchers to know about your experience?</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>MM:</strong> <em>Pittcon has been going on for 69 years. It started from a small room in the University of Pittsburge and now is the size of 20,000 people attendees. The opportunities presented in the conference, such as networking with researchers from all around the world that work in the same filed as you are, job opportunities and employment booths, exposition of the largest companies around the world, Demos on how to use a technique or device and several oral and poster sessions, makes this conference a necessity to learn more in your academic career. </em>\r\n\r\nSusan K. Zawacky, Chair of Special Projects: Student Coordinator of 2018 Pittcon, stated to Dr. Li: “You brought an excellent FIU student group who both enjoyed the conference, and were very responsible workers. We hope that you and your students will enjoy Pittcon again for the years to come!” Thank you to our BME Pittcon participants on your dedication to research and for representing FIU everywhere you go!','FIU BME Students Invited to Organize and Participate in Pittcon 2018','','publish','closed','closed','','fiu-bme-students-invited-to-organize-and-participate-in-pittcon-2018','','','2018-05-11 13:57:36','2018-05-11 17:57:36','',0,'https://bme.fiu.edu/?p=14874',0,'post','',0);
