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','','inherit','closed','closed','','14874-revision-v1','','','2018-05-09 11:52:13','2018-05-09 15:52:13','',14874,'https://bme.fiu.edu/2018/05/14874-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0);

The mission of the conference is to bring together biomedical engineers, scientists, clinicians, philosophers, lawyers, and entrepreneurs to engage in a dialogue about the ethical challenges that are posed during this period of technological advancement and scientific discovery. The work presented at the conference covered a broad range of topics reflecting the exciting and controversial nature of new advances in biology, engineering, and medicine.\r\n\r\n“The 9th International Conference on Biology, Engineering, and Medicine was a great success, bringing together academics and practitioners in many countries with a diverse set of expertise to engage some of the most pressing ethical issues of our discipline”, says Dr. Zachary Danziger, Conference Co-Chair. “The debate touched on the ethics of globalization of research, social implications of biotechnology advancement, education, integrity, and application to the practice of medicine and biomedical research. The importance of privacy, respect, identity, and incentives were clear, as well as the need for the continued discussion of ethical problems and solutions in the culture of biology, engineering, and medicine.”\r\n\r\nThe conference was sponsored by FIU’s BME department, and was co-sponsored by the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering, the American Society for Bioethics and Humanities, Sigma Xi- The Scientific Research Society, the Society on Social Implications of Technology, the Biomedical Engineering Society, the International Federation of Medical and Biological Engineering, Citi Program, and the Wallace H. Coulter Foundation Seminar Series.\r\n\r\nMany people contributed to the success of this conference. We would like to thank the keynote speakers, invited speakers, poster presenters, session moderators, panel members, and staff.

Over 500 graduating seniors showcased their research to faculty, friends, and family. The senior design projects are a reflection of the students’ efforts and serves as their capstone undergraduate experience. This event symbolizes the culmination of a yearlong process in which the students planned, designed, and implemented ideas learned in the classroom to create new instruments to be used in the field of biomedical engineering. Students have brought recognition and awareness to the department, as well as the current issues at hand.\r\n\r\n\"Senior Design 2018 Expo and Competition was by all measures, a smashing success,\" says Senior Design Professor, Dr. Michael Christie. \"Fifteen teams presented their projects to the public and in front of a panel of judges from the medical device industry that included a vice president of research and development, a vice president of quality systems, a design engineer, a systems engineer and a professor of Biomedical engineering from a Florida based engineering school, all of which shared that they was impressed by the preparation, training, depth of knowledge, and performance of our students.\"\r\n\r\nOur department set a record in the area of project sponsorship funding, a total of $26,000, for an average of a little over $1,700 per project.  We continue to see increases in the number of new sponsors, continuation projects, and the number of students who receive job offers that are related to their senior design projects.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_7542\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/DSC_0246.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-7542\" src=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/DSC_0246.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" /></a> 2nd place oral presentation: \"Vein Preservation System\" Mortis Luik, Emily Perez, Alejandro Verdecia, Karina Sequera, and Brian Pintado[/caption]\r\n\r\nA total of 15 teams in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, all of which were sponsored by a clinical organization in Florida, showcased their talents by each presenting their own original projects. Aside from the poster project showcase, BME opted to continue the end-of-semester tradition of oral presentations to showcase a more in-depth presentation of their research. We would like to congratulate Team 7 (Drew Collins, Elena Atienza, Kevin Estevez, and Cristianne Fernandez) for winning 1<sup>st</sup> place in the oral presentation. Their presentation, “Residual Limb Circumference Measurement Device”, was sponsored by Garrison’s Prosthetics, and the team was mentored by BME Chair, Dr. Ranu Jung. Second place for oral presentations was awarded to Team 9 (Mortis Luik, Emily Perez, Alejandro Verdecia, Karina Sequera, and Brian Pintado) for their presentation titled “Vein Preservation System”. The team was sponsored by Somahlution Inc., and mentored by Associate Professor Dr. Jessica Ramella-Roman.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_7541\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/DSC_0220-768x511.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-7541\" src=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/DSC_0220-768x511.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" /></a> 1st place poster presentation: \"Nanovibrational Bioreactor\" Patrick Henry, Gulsah Aydemir, Kristoffer Dessruiseaux, Rut Farall, and Alessandra Proietti[/caption]\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the department awarded students for outstanding poster presentations.

In high school, she was a member of the Pre-Medical Club and volunteered at Broward General Hospital twice a week.\r\n\r\nBut after starting FIU as a biomedical engineering major, she realized that more than a doctor, she wanted to be a creator, an inventor. That’s how her biomedical engineering journey began.\r\n\r\nIn her junior year at FIU, Nicole began working for FIU’s Biomedical Medical Photonics Laboratory. She played a key role in developing image processing algorithms to better visualize cells and to detect large cells which can be a sign of cervical cancer. During her senior year, Nicole was selected to join The Coulter Undergraduate Research Excellence (CURE) Program, where she worked on an imaging system aimed at measuring thermal radiation damage to the retina, non-invasively. As a result, she won first place at FIU’s 2017 Annual Undergraduate Research Day, part of the Wallace H. Coulter Biomedical Engineering Lecture Series.\r\n\r\nNicole also distinguished herself through volunteer work. She spent a summer in Texas volunteering at Texas Children’s Hospital. During her time at Texas, Nicole also interned at a lab in Rice University, where she was instrumental in the design of an imaging tool that makes it easier to diagnose cervical and oral cancer. The tool has been submitted for a patent.\r\n\r\nAfter graduation, Nicole hopes to obtain a research position with the National Institutes of Health. Her long-term goal is to receive a doctoral degree in biomedical engineering.\r\n\r\n<em>By Diana Hernandez-Alende\r\n</em><em>Account Manager, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, College of Engineering &amp; Computing</em>\r\n\r\nClick <a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/2018/04/worlds-ahead-graduate-daniel-rivera/\">here</a> to read about Spring 2018 BME World\'s Ahead Graduate Daniel Rivera.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n</div>','World\'s Ahead Graduate Nicole Sevilla','','publish','closed','closed','','worlds-ahead-graduate-nicole-sevilla','','','2018-05-14 12:54:26','2018-05-14 16:54:26','',0,'https://bme.fiu.edu/?p=14928',0,'post','',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.','publish','open','open','','sarah-erickson','','','2017-06-08 09:57:01','2017-06-08 13:57:01','',0,'https://bme.fiu.edu/?p=839',80,'post','',1);

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.','publish','open','open','','dharam-persaud','','','2017-06-08 09:58:44','2017-06-08 13:58:44','',0,'https://bme.fiu.edu/?p=995',73,'post','',1);

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','publish','open','open','','nanomaterials','','','2017-06-08 09:58:43','2017-06-08 13:58:43','',0,'https://bme.fiu.edu/?p=1632',31,'post','',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.

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.

By applying a multifaceted approach, the laboratory investigates the effects of trauma and disorders of the nervous system to replace damaged or lost functionality or to repair the system using advanced adaptive devices and therapeutic techniques. Driven by the needs of potential users, the laboratory is designing and developing technology to offset the effects of limb amputation and spinal cord injury and understand its impact on nervous system function.\r\n<h2><strong><a title=\"NMD\" href=\"http://anil.fiu.edu/\">Applied Neural Interfaces Laboratory </a></strong></h2>\r\n<strong>Dr. Zachary Danziger</strong>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Neural interfaces have emerged as important new therapies for diseases where pharmacotherapy is not feasible or causes intolerable side effects. The work done in the Applied Neural Interfaces Lab employs quantitative approaches to solve key problems in two different areas where neural interfaces are becoming popular: brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and lower urinary tract (LUT) neuromodulation. BCIs have the potential to restore communication and mobility to paralyzed individuals, but BCI invasiveness severely limits the development and assessment of new designs. The lab members are developing an innovative BCI analogue system that facilitates testing and optimization of BCIs. Using this paradigm has demonstrated the importance of smooth decoder updates and how to exploit visual feedback to enhance user performance. LUT dysfunction is widespread in populations suffering from neural disorders, and is often recalcitrant to medication. They are developing a novel neural stimulation device to treat urinary retention that activates urethral sensory neurons to improve the efficiency of weakened voiding reflexes. Their work includes a new mechanistic model of urethral afferents as well as a new stimulation scheme that has the potential to alleviate neuropathy-induced LUT dysfunction. These two examples illustrate the impact of principled, quantitative approaches to advance the development of neural interfaces to restore function following disease or injury.</p>\r\n\r\n<h2><strong>Bioelectronic and Electronic Packaging Lab</strong></h2>\r\n<strong>Dr. Raj Markondeya</strong>\r\n\r\nCurrent bioelectronic packaging approaches for neural stimulation and recording involve large enclosures with leads and connectors that are not scalable to address the need for high-channel density nerve interfaces in ultra-thin or flexible form-factors. A highly-miniaturized fully-implanted high-density electrode array that is actively powered on or close to the electrode array itself, with integrated data processing, can enable new applications and opportunities for healthcare. Realizing these systems require heterogeneous integration of several functions such as power transfer and conversion, data processing, high-density but biocompatible electrode-tissue interfaces and miniaturized hermetic packages. All these functions need to be achieved in sub-millimeter dimensions. The bioelectronic packaging group focuses on developing system components and integration solutions to realize such next-generation bioelectronic systems.\r\n<h2><strong><a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/biomedeng.creativelab.1?ref=bookmarks\">Biomedical Engineering Creative Lab: W[CL]<sup>2</sup></a></strong></h2>\r\n<strong>Dr. Wei-Chiang Lin</strong>\r\nThe mission of the Creative Lab is to produce creative engineering solutions for complex problems in biomedicine. Currently the team focuses on developing non-destructive optical and mechanical techniques that can detect disease development and tissue injuries in vivo.  These techniques can be either one-dimensional (i.e., point detection) or multi-dimensional (i.e., imaging).  The potential medical applications for such techniques, once developed, are abundant.  For example, they may be used intraoperatively to guide tumor resection and to monitor the progression of a novel therapy.\r\n<h2><strong><a title=\"NMD\" href=\"http://hutchesonlab.fiu.edu/\">Cardiovascular Matrix Remodeling Laboratory</a></strong></h2>\r\n<strong>Dr. Joshua Hutcheson</strong>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Research in the CMRL focuses on the mechanisms through which tissues are built, maintained, and remodeled.

A major goal of the lab is to develop functional tissue engineered heart valves (TEHVs) using 1) porcine small intestinal submucosa (PSIS) substrates and 2) mechanically regulate stem cells for the TEHV application as well as for (3) broader application in cardiovascular regenerative medicine. Concurrently the TEMIM lab is also working towards the elucidation of mechanobiological cellular and molecular mechanisms that are involved in the etiology of valve diseases, particularly aortic valve calcification.  A specific project in this area involves (4) the delineation of mechanosensitive fluid and structural conditions of the aortic valve due to elastin remodeling that may serve as an early indicator of calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD).  In addition, at the cellular level, the lab is interested in identifying the fluid-induced mechanobiological responses of valve endothelial cells in valve homeostasis and in the development of CAVD.   The research in the TEMIM lab has been supported by the AHA, NSF, industry and academic funding sources.</p>\r\n\r\n<h2><strong>Vascular Physiology and Biotransport Laboratory</strong></h2>\r\n<strong>Dr. Nikolaos Tsoukias</strong>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The main focus of the laboratory is on the mechanisms that regulate blood flow and pressure in the human body. The lab investigates the physiology of the microcirculation through the parallel development of theoretical and experimental models. Mathematical modeling guides experimentation and assist in data analysis while in vitro experimental studies provide important modeling parameters and promote further model development.</p>\r\n\r\n<h2><a href=\"http://vccl.fiu.edu\"><strong>Visual Cortical Circuits Laboratory</strong></a></h2>\r\n<strong>Dr. James Schummers</strong>\r\n\r\nThe research in the Visual Cortical Circuits Laboratory lies at the intersection of two fundamental questions about brain function:  How is an external sensory stimulus encoded in the activity of brain cells in the cerebral cortex? How do astrocyte interactions with neurons contribute to information processing?  To address these questions, the lab makes use of recent developments in non-linear microscopy, viral vector engineering and protein engineering to ask cutting-edge questions about the cellular basis of brain function.  In particular, current studies apply two-photon imaging of genetically-encoded calcium indicators that have been targeted to specific brain cell types via viral vectors with specific serotypes and promoters to enable measurements of cellular and subcellular activity in both neurons and astrocytes.  With these tools, we address questions about the spatial scale of visual stimulus representation within cortical neurons and astrocyte, and the temporal dynamics of brain activity that underlie visual perception.  Ultimately, these studies will lay the groundwork for interventions to rescue vision in patients with compromised vision, or other neurological dysfunctions.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;','Research Laboratories','','publish','closed','open','','laboratories','','','2019-01-14 10:17:49','2019-01-14 15:17:49','',46,'https://bme.fiu.edu/bme/?page_id=2134',6,'page','',0);
