He is considered a pioneer and leader of visible light based OCT technologies and retinal molecular imaging. Our students are indeed fortunate to learn from such a distinguished leader.  Shuliang has introduced new courses for our graduate curriculum and he coordinates the undergraduate laboratories. He also served as the Graduate Program Director.”\r\n\r\nDr. Jiao has also worked very closely with students in his Eye Imaging Lab.“Working in Dr. Jiao\'s lab has challenged me to overcome what I thought I was not able to do,” said graduate student Zahra Nafar. “Dr. Jiao wants the best for his students and pushes us to be the best. He is always there to advise us and willing to guide us when we need assistance with experiments. Seeing him work on experiments alongside students keeps me motivated to reach my greatest potential.”\r\n\r\nDr. Jiao currently holds 7 patents, one of which was licensed to a leading ophthalmic technology development company, 3 patent applications, and several invention disclosures. His most recent <a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/2018/04/dr-shuliang-jiao-granted-patent-for-device-assisting-visually-impaired-patients/\">patent</a> was a device for assisting visually impaired patients.

The research done in VCCL 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\nWelcome to FIU BME!','BME Welcomes Associate Professor James Schummers','','inherit','closed','closed','','49533-revision-v1','','','2018-08-17 11:21:29','2018-08-17 15:21:29','',49533,'https://bme.fiu.edu/2018/08/49533-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0);

The Second Specific Aim is to determine the optimal concentration of collagen matrix to add to the skeletal myoblast concentration determined above so that it will remain viable for up to 96 hours at four degrees Centigrade in Bioheart’s proprietary injection media. The third specific aim is to determine the viability of the cells embedded in the collagen matrix, utilizing the results obtained from the above two experiments to determine the dilution of the final product in injection media that results in the least trauma to the cells when injected through Bioheart’s MyoCath or other catheters if deemed necessary. The final specific aim is to do ex vivo experiments in flow stimulation models simulating the injection of the MyoCell laden Collagen Matrix into the interior of a substance simulating heart tissue that has flow of a fluid similar in viscosity to blood to determine if retention is improved over the 10-15% commonly seen in many preclinical animal experiments performed by Bioheart and others (unpublished data).\r\n<h2>Selected Publications</h2>\r\nBrown, M., J.

Optical imaging is based on the principles of near-infrared light propagation in scattering media (such as biological tissues) and the use of external fluorescent contrast agents to better differentiate normal and diseased tissues based on the differences in their optical properties. The research work requires an understanding of transport phenomena in biological systems, application of experimental skills towards instrument development, incorporation of optimization and mathematical tools towards image reconstructions, and development of biomedical aspects of engineering towards practical applications, such as cancer diagnostics, wound imaging, functional brain mapping.\r\n\r\nNear-infrared (NIR) light propagation in a dense scattering media is modeled based on the physics of light transport. The bioinstrumentation involved in the development of optical-based imaging systems is complimented by the 2D/3D tomographic (i.e. image reconstruction) analysis carried out using computational tools. Bioinstrumentation includes the development of optical-based imaging systems using near-infrared (NIR) light sources (i.e. laser diodes) and detectors (i.e. PMTs, CCD, CMOS cameras). Three-dimensional tomographic analysis of the optical images is carried out using appropriate light propagation models and computationally intense mathematical tools in order to locate regions of interest.\r\n\r\nOur Optical Imaging Laboratory focuses on various clinical applications of near-infrared optical imaging technology.  Some of the key projects performing (-ed) include:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Non-contact hand-held optical imaging scanner for real-time assessment of oxygenation changes and perfusion changes in wound healing of diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers and arterial ulcers (clinical partners include dermatologist, podiatric surgeons, diabetologist, nursing faculty, statistics faculty)</li>\r\n 	<li>Diffuse optical imaging of breast cancer in-vivo using a hand-held 3D tomographic imaging device (clinical partners include breast surgeon, radiologist).</li>\r\n 	<li>Development of a novel 3D tomographic hand-held optical imager for imaging of large tissue volumes.</li>\r\n 	<li>Functional brain mapping of cognition of motor functions in response to physical therapy in pediatrics/adults with cerebral palsy and correlation to muscle kinematics (partners include physical therapy faculty).</li>\r\n 	<li>Functional brain mapping of cognition of joint attention in pediatrics with autism (clinical partners include neuropsychologist, psychology faculty).</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2><strong>Selected Publications</strong></h2>\r\n<ol>\r\n 	<li>Jayachandran, S.

Also, he is the co-director of the Orthotics and Prosthetics track, a self-supporting program within the Master’s Program in Biomedical Engineering. Dr. Lin obtained his B.S. degree in Biomedical Engineering from the Chung-Yuan Christian University in Taiwan, ROC in 1987. He received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin under the supervision of Dr. Ashley J. Welch and Dr. Massoud Motamedi. When he completed his Ph.D. degree in 1997, he received a postdoctoral fellowship from the W. M. Keck Foundation Free Electron Laser Center and joined the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN, and he became a Research Assistant Professor in the Department in 2000. Dr. Lin’s research is focused on developing engineering solutions for diagnosing and treating tissue disorders and injuries, with a strong emphasis on pediatric brain disorders. To date, his research projects have been funded by the National Institute of Health, Department of Defense, Thrasher Research Fund, and American Heart Association.\r\n<h2><strong>Research</strong></h2>\r\nDr. Lin’s research involves developing non-destructive optical and mechanical technologies that can detect the development of disease and tissue injuries <em>in vivo</em>.

He received his PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Louisiana Tech University and post-doctoral training in the Department of Pharmacology and Cell Biophysics at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. Before Joining FIU he was as Assistant Professor at the University of Cincinnati Department of Radiology, Divisions of Nuclear Medicine and Medical Physics. He is a Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE). He served as Interim Chair of the Department of Biomedical Engineering from 2007-2010. He was National President to the Alpha Eta Mu Beta Biomedical Engineering Honor Society 2010-2014. He has over 200 journal articles, book chapters and proceeding papers. He has received funding from the NIH, NSF, DOD, AHA, and Fl-DOH as well as numerous companies.\r\n<h2><strong>Research</strong></h2>\r\nDrug delivery research may involve the design of new drugs, or developing strategies to monitor and improve drug transport to target tissue. The primary research focus in this lab is the development of tissue or cell specific contrast agents and probes (both optical and radioactive) for noninvasive molecular imaging of cellular and tissue characterization, for monitoring toxicity, for tracking the biodistribution of known toxins and drugs, and image guided therapy. Another focus is the development of multimodal drugs that simultaneously image and provide therapy. Of primary concern as new drugs are developed is that these drugs be specific in terms of their mechanism and site of action. Verifying that the drug has reached their target is an important component of therapy.\r\n\r\nMolecular Imaging allows visualization of not only organs and cells but also biochemical processes within the cells that are associated with specific disease. This information can improve the accuracy of a diagnosis, provide better assessment of the severity of disease and even monitor the response to therapy. Light at the near-infrared wavelength can penetrate deeper into tissue than can visible light and does not induce DNA damage. Therefore, true in vivo imaging is practical with near-infrared probes. Dyes that absorb energy in the near-infrared region will release heat following exposure to the appropriate wavelength and can kill cancer cells. Therefore, by including such dyes with the chemotherapy agent or incorporating the dye into the drug delivery vehicle, therapy can be targeted since the drug will not be activated until it has reached its intended target. The therapy is image guided because the probe/therapeutic drug can be detected in vivo. Compared to optical imaging, Positron Emission Tomography (PET) has the advantage of greater resolution and greatly reduced attenuation and scattering. In addition, the radiolabeling of drugs or biochemically important molecules with PET isotopes is much simpler, and typically results in chemicals with similar or identical properties to the original chemical. Such imaging approaches have been applied to understand the molecular basis of diseases, biochemical processes, gene delivery and expression, tissue receptor-ligand activity, enzyme mediated processes, drug discovery, monitoring novel therapy techniques, etc.\r\n\r\nParticles in a size range of 110-140 nm seem to be ideal drug delivery vehicles because they first avoid liver uptake, which filters smaller particles, but are small enough not to be removed by macrophages. For optimal performance, particles should have a small size distribution, uniform surface properties, must be able to complex various molecules very efficiently, must remain in the circulation long enough to be removed by the target tissue rather than the reticuloendothelial system (macrophages), and must be biocompatible and biodegradable. Small particles with neutral surfaces and prepared with polymers of high molecular weights are slowly cleared by macrophages while large particles with high surface potentials and prepared with polymers of low molecular weights are rapidly cleared by the macrophages. Nanoparticles coated with a higher molecular weight dextran or poly-ethylene-glycol (PEG) leads to a decrease of the surface charge, which increases their circulation time. Nanoparticles (polymer or liposomes) can be modified to target specific cells and designed to carry multiple therapeutic agents and multiple imaging probes.\r\n\r\n<strong>Radiochemistry and Dosimetry</strong>\r\n\r\nWe are developing PET radiochemicals that report regional metabolic/functional variables of various organs or tumors, and examining their cellular uptake kinetics. In addition to clinical studies, tests are conducted in whole animal, isolated organ and isolated cell models. We are developing tools for automatic segmentation and registration of organs and tumors to accurately determine tumor functional and anatomical volumes which is required for accurate dosimetry calculations for Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT) planning. https://nuclearoncology.org/\r\n<table border=\"0\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"background-color: #ffffff; border: 1px solid #ffffff;\"><a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/petct-11.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1462\" title=\"petct-1\" src=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/petct-11.jpg\" alt=\"petct\" width=\"256\" height=\"256\" /></a></td>\r\n<td style=\"background-color: #ffffff; border: 1px solid #ffffff;\"> <a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/petct-21.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1463\" title=\"petct-2\" src=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/petct-21.jpg\" alt=\"petct\" width=\"256\" height=\"256\" /></a></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\nPET/CT image of a patient with liver cancer demonstrating the mismatch between the functional and anatomical size of the tumor, which can negatively impact patient response to therapy.\r\n\r\n<strong>Respiratory Gated Positron Emission Tomography (PET)</strong>\r\n\r\nPET glucose metabolism is often used to diagnose cancer since the fast growing highly metabolic tumor requires more energy than surrounding tissue. An accurate diagnosis requires a precise measure of the size of the tumor. But, due to the movement of the lungs during respiration, obtaining an accurate image of a lung or liver tumors is difficult. We are developing instrumentation and imaging processing algorithms to gate the PET camera acquisition with the patient’s respiratory motion to reduce the lung motion artifacts. Recently PET has been combined with CT, which provides anatomy. In addition to supplying an anatomic reference for the PET metabolic image, the CT is also used to correct for attenuation of the PET to improve image quality. In order to apply CT attenuation correction to imagines of tissue in the lung, a computer-assisted automatic identification of lung lesions in the PET/CT images is being developed to account for the movement of the lungs during the PET imaging.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1465\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"487\"]<a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/pet-1.jpg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-1465\" title=\"pet-1\" src=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/pet-1.jpg\" alt=\"pet\" width=\"487\" height=\"476\" /></a> PET and CT images from a GE Discover LS Hybrid PET/CT from Baptist Hospital of Miami.[/caption]\r\n\r\n<em><a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/phantom.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1472\" title=\"phantom\" src=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/phantom.jpg\" alt=\"phantom\" width=\"547\" height=\"156\" /></a></em>\r\n\r\nFrom left to right are the CT, PET, and PET/CT fused images.

Early detection of small primary tumors is critical for successful therapy and improved survival rates. Chemotherapy is often the first choice for treating many cancers. It is critical that the chemical be sequestered only in the target tissue at toxic concentrations so that nontarget tissue exposure is minimized. However, it is often difficult to ensure that the chemotherapy targets only the cancer and further that the chemical is localizing in the target tissue. Cancer cells easily take up extremely small (nano-sized) particles. New technologies are being developed to allow for the creation of complex nanoscale materials as drug delivery vehicles and sensors. Combining therapy with imaging has the potential to enhance the efficacy of treatment by ensuring and verifying that the drug reaches the target tissue, while minimizing nontarget tissue uptake. Light in the near-infrared (NIR) wavelength can easily pass through tissue and therefore, NIR fluorescent tracers can be used for imaging. Dyes that absorb energy may also release heat following exposure to the appropriate wavelength light and kill cancer cells. With a light sensitive dye incorporated into the drug delivery vehicle, therapy can be targeted since the drug won’t be activated with a laser until the drug has reached its intended target. The long term objective of this study is to develop a methodology of improved diagnosis and treatment of cancer by combining therapy and imaging in the same drug. The study is a collaboration of engineers, chemists, biologists, and clinicians with expertise in drug design, drug delivery modeling, and experimental models of cancer.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1467\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"433\"]<a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/nanoparticle1.jpg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-1467\" title=\"nanoparticle\" src=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/nanoparticle1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"433\" height=\"353\" /></a> Schematic of multimodal targeted polymer nanoparticle.[/caption]\r\n\r\n<em>\r\n<a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/nanoparticle2.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1470\" title=\"nanoparticle2\" src=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/nanoparticle2.jpg\" alt=\"nanoparticle\" width=\"516\" height=\"414\" /></a> </em>\r\nUpper Left: Indocyanine Green (ICG) loaded polymer nanoparticles in cancer cells.

During 1995-1998, he was “Junior Associate” of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics, Trieste (Italy), where he completed the required credits for a master degree in biophysics. In 1999, he received the Ph.D. degree in Physics from the University of Havana. Part of his Ph.D. thesis was completed at the Pitie-Salpetriere Hospital in Paris. Dr. Riera’s postdoctoral term were first at the RIKEN Brain Science Institute (Japan) and alter at NICHe, Tohoku University (Japan). In 2004, he was appointed associate professor in Tohoku University School of Medicine. From 2006-2011, his research was funded by three Japanese agencies: Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Telecommunications Advancement Organization of Japan and Japan Science and Technology. In 2011, he joined Florida International University (FIU), first as Visiting Professor and later as Associate Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering. For the past ~7 years he has directed the Neuronal Mass Dynamics (NMD) lab. He has also been appointed by the Honor College, the Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine and the STEM Transformation Institute.\r\n<h2><strong>Research</strong></h2>\r\nBrain imaging constitutes a powerful tool to study brain functions in both healthy individuals and patients with a variety of brain disorders. The temporal resolution achieved at the present by different modalities allows us to study brain processes occurring from milliseconds to even days. Although much progress has been made, the biophysical foundations of brain imaging are still elusive. In order to identify the fundamental mechanisms underlying the genesis of brain imaging data from a microscopic approach, an intermediate physical level, the mesoscale, needs to be properly described and modeled (Fig. 1). Interpreting a variety of neuroimaging modalities (e.g. EEG/MEG, fMRI, PET/SPECT) at the mesoscopic level from a fundamental neuroscience perspective has been one of the long-term scientific goals in Dr. Riera’s career. In three recent reviews (J Integrative Neuroscience, 5(2), 273-326, 2006; NeuroImage 40, 1436-1459, 2008; Current Opinion in Neurology, 23(4), 374-381, 2010), he has discussed the physiological, biochemical and physical working principles at the mesoscopic level in the cerebral cortex with the strongest impact on the genesis of brain imaging.\r\n\r\nAt FIU, Dr. Riera performs invasive experiments on rodents, as well as non-invasive studies in humans. The latter are in collaboration with other researchers inside/outside FIU. The animal experiments carried out in Dr. Riera’s group are based on the combinations of pharmacological manipulations (i.e. agonist/antagonist agents) and four main recording techniques (i.e. intracranial electrical potentials obtained with microelectrode arrays, large-scale EEG data, laser Doppler flowmetry and O<sub>2</sub>/NO amperometric measurements). Through pharmacological manipulations, his group aims to isolate crucial pathways within the neurovascular coupling route and to enhance the activity of particular cortical microcircuit networks both in normal rodents and in those used to model pathological situations. Of particular interest are dementias, epilepsy, hypertension and the cerebro-vascular trauma.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/riera-figure1.jpg\"><img title=\"riera-figure1\" src=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/riera-figure1.jpg\" alt=\"riera-figure1\" width=\"576\" height=\"432\" /></a>\r\n<h2><strong>Selected Publications</strong></h2>\r\n<ol>\r\n 	<li>Valdés-Hernández PA, Bernal B, Moshkforoush A, Dunoyer C, Khoo HM, Bosch-Bayard J, von-Ellenrieder N, Gotman J, Riera JJ.

His lab is currently developing tools to 1) understanding brain activity in motor cortex, with the goal of improving performance of brain-computer interfaces and 2) understanding nerve activity in the urinary tract, with the goal of improving efficiency of stimulation technology designed to restore bladder function.','Zachary Danziger, Ph.D.','','publish','closed','closed','','zachary-danziger','','','2018-10-25 09:18:51','2018-10-25 13:18:51','',1163,'https://bme.fiu.edu/?page_id=49603',0,'page','',0);

By applying a multifaceted approach, the laboratory investigates the effects of trauma and disorders of the nervous system to replace damaged or lost functionality or to repair the system using advanced adaptive devices and therapeutic techniques. Driven by the needs of potential users, the laboratory is designing and developing technology to offset the effects of limb amputation and spinal cord injury and understand its impact on nervous system function.\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.

How do astrocyte interactions with neurons contribute to information processing?  To address these questions, the lab makes use of recent developments in non-linear microscopy, viral vector engineering and protein engineering to ask cutting-edge questions about the cellular basis of brain function.  In particular, current studies apply two-photon imaging of genetically-encoded calcium indicators that have been targeted to specific brain cell types via viral vectors with specific serotypes and promoters to enable measurements of cellular and subcellular activity in both neurons and astrocytes.  With these tools, we address questions about the spatial scale of visual stimulus representation within cortical neurons and astrocyte, and the temporal dynamics of brain activity that underlie visual perception.  Ultimately, these studies will lay the groundwork for interventions to rescue vision in patients with compromised vision, or other neurological dysfunctions.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;','Research Laboratories','','inherit','closed','closed','','2134-revision-v1','','','2018-08-21 14:37:43','2018-08-21 18:37:43','',2134,'https://bme.fiu.edu/2018/08/2134-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0);

ERCs create an innovative, inclusive culture in engineering to cultivate new ideas and pursue engineering discovery that achieves a significant science, technology, and societal outcome within the 10-year time frame of NSF support.

The initial PATHS-UP technologies and systems are designed to help with chronic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, which are leading causes of morbidity and mortality world-wide. Chronic diseases are particularly devastating in underserved communities in the United States where they are contracted at a higher rate than the national average. In these underserved communities, chronic diseases are increasingly a major cause of disability, even for younger people, and lead to poor quality of life and high health care expenditures. Thus, the burden of chronic disease is a grand challenge that requires cost-effective technologies to reduce mortality rates, emergency room visits and hospitalizations, which disproportionately drive up healthcare costs. Technologies are also needed to help prevent or delay the disease, reducing the incidence of secondary complications and enhancing life quality.\r\n\r\nLead by Texas A&amp;M University\r\nPartner with Florida International University, Rice University and UCLA\r\n<h2><a href=\"http://sites.bu.edu/cell-met/\">CELL-MET</a></h2>\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7672 size-medium\" src=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/cellmet-300x69.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"69\" />\r\n\r\nThe Nanosystems Engineering Research Center for Cellular Metamaterials (CELL-MET) aims to transform cardiovascular care by combining breakthroughs in nanotechnology and manufacturing with tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, while also developing areas of expertise in education, diversity, administration, and outreach.

At a separate award ceremony during the same semester, he was also awarded the 2016-2017 Excellence in Research award by the College of Engineering and Computing at FIU.  Dr. Ramaswamy’s research interests lie primarily in the area of cell and engineered tissue mechanics with application in cardiovascular regenerative medicine. His laboratory, Tissue Engineered Mechanics, Imaging and Materials, (TEMIM LAB), conducts both experimental and computational investigations in this area.  A major goal of his lab currently 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). Dr. Ramaswamy is a Fellow of the American Heart Association and its Council on Basic Cardiovascular Sciences. Dr. Ramaswamy is an author of over 50 published journals papers, book chapters and conference proceedings and has been a part of over 100 abstracts presented at Scientific Conferences.  He has mentored over 40 graduate/undergraduate students at FIU in a one-to-one format. His research has been supported by the AHA, NSF as well as academic and industry partners.\r\n\r\nCongratulations Dr. Ramaswamy on your accomplishments!\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/IMG_1134.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-49800\" src=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/IMG_1134-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" /></a> <a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/IMG_1132.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-49801 size-medium\" src=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/IMG_1132-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" /></a>','Sharan Ramaswamy Wins University and College-wide Awards for Research','','publish','closed','closed','','sharan-ramaswamy-wins-university-and-college-wide-awards-for-research','','','2018-09-13 15:53:01','2018-09-13 19:53:01','',0,'https://bme.fiu.edu/?p=49799',0,'post','',0);

He will work to revise the BMES code of ethics and review the BMES overall strategic plan. This comes after successfully Co-Chairing the 9<sup>th</sup> International Conference on Ethics in Biology, Engineering, and Medicine with Dr. Subrata Saha at FIU’s main campus in April, which included over 80 total participants from 5 countries and representatives from national agencies such as the FDA.\r\n\r\nEthics and ethical issues related to biomedical engineering that spans synthetic biology for new drug development  to medical implants that influence perception will be increasingly a topic of discussion and action, as we move forward in the current “fourth industrial revolution”.\r\n\r\nZach Danziger’s <a href=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/people/zachary-danziger-2/\">research</a> interests are in the areas of human motor learning, neural interfaces and computational neuroscience.  He has formal education in philosophy of ethics and biomedical engineering.\r\n\r\nAbout BMES: “The Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) is the professional society for biomedical engineering and bioengineering. Founded in early 1968, the Society now boasts over 7,000 members and is growing, rapidly. BMES serves as the lead society and professional home for biomedical engineering and bioengineering. Our leadership in accreditation, potential licensure, publications, scientific meetings, global programs, and diversity initiatives, as well as our commitment to ethics, all serve our mission to promote and enhance knowledge and education in biomedical engineering and bioengineering worldwide and its utilization for human health and well-being.”\r\n\r\n- Ranu Jung, Ph.D.','Assistant Professor Zachary Danziger Appointed Chair of BMES Ethics Subcommittee','','publish','closed','closed','','assistant-professor-zachary-danziger-appointed-chair-of-bmes-ethics-subcommittee','','','2018-10-15 10:09:49','2018-10-15 14:09:49','',0,'https://bme.fiu.edu/?p=49936',0,'post','',0);

That passion kept growing through the years, particularly in the medical field. He chose to study biomedical engineering as it combines both medical sciences and innovation.\r\n\r\nAt the beginning, his transition to the U.S. was a cultural shock, as he was a new international student from the Middle East with a conservative background. With time, it became the norm for him. Ali is most thankful to FIU for its diversity which helped new, transitioning, international students like himself to get involved with different social clubs and organizations.\r\n\r\n“One of my favorite things about FIU is its respect for all religions. Both MMC and EC campuses have a dedicated a multi-faith room for any religion so that students can practice their rituals,” noted Ali.\r\n\r\nLike all students, Ali faced a few obstacles during his academic career. “My biggest obstacle came when I was completing my first bachelor’s degree in laboratory medicine… I had no time management skills at the time. I was naïve, I wasn’t taking school seriously, and as a result, I graduated with a low GPA. I saw how my peers were doing so well and many of them were attaining scholarships to study abroad. I knew that I was capable of even greater things. I continued to study and prepared myself to take the SAT again, as well as IELTS for English proficiency. Soon after, I applied to FIU and got accepted into FIU’s BME undergraduate program with a scholarship from Saudi Arabia called the “King Abdullah Scholarship”.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-8068 alignleft\" style=\"color: #333333; font-style: normal;\" src=\"https://bme.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Ahmeds-honor-pins-1-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />Through his struggles, Ali kept himself motivated at all times.

In the Memory and Development (MaD) lab with Dr. Aaron Mattfeld in the Psychology Department, the main research focus was investigating how the brain supports learning and memory and how development and neurodevelopmental disorders change these basic cognitive processes. In the <a href=\"http://www.temim.fiu.edu/\">Tissue, Engineered, Mechanics, Imaging and Materials (TEMIM) Lab</a> with Dr. Sharan Ramaswamy in our BME department, Ali worked mainly on 3-D bioprinting for heart valves using synthetic protein based biocompatible hydrogel.\r\n\r\n“FIU played a major role in preparing me for the real world through the programs they offer”, said Ali.

Ali says, “Plan ahead to fit all your commitments then prioritizing the tasks according to their difficulties and due dates. Avoid postponing a planned task that will ruin your plan for other tasks”.\r\n\r\nHis goals for the future include pursuing a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering. With a strong interest in cardiovascular, he hopes to improve and develop cardiovascular engineering research in his native country. “I want to lead this field,” says Ali. He aspires to create the foundational bases with the experience and knowledge gained here in the United States.\r\n\r\nAli wanted to share some advice for all of his friends back home: “You will hear that undergraduate students do not have time to balance success, achievements and good academic standing at the same time.

She worked as a Post-Doc at University of Vermont’s Department of Computer Science in 2003-2004. In Aug 2004, Dr. Godavarty joined FIU as an Assistant Professor in Biomedical Engineering. In Aug 2010, she was tenured and promoted to Associate Professor in Biomedical Engineering at FIU. Her research interests are in optical imaging technologies towards breast cancer imaging, functional brain mapping, and wound imaging applications (both instrument development as well as computational analysis).\r\n<h2><strong>Research</strong></h2>\r\nDr. Godavarty’s research work focuses in the area of optical-based molecular imaging (diffuse optical and fluorescence-enhanced optical imaging) and tomography. Optical imaging is based on the principles of near-infrared light propagation in scattering media (such as biological tissues) and the use of external fluorescent contrast agents to better differentiate normal and diseased tissues based on the differences in their optical properties. The research work requires an understanding of transport phenomena in biological systems, application of experimental skills towards instrument development, incorporation of optimization and mathematical tools towards image reconstructions, and development of biomedical aspects of engineering towards practical applications, such as cancer diagnostics, wound imaging, functional brain mapping.\r\n\r\nNear-infrared (NIR) light propagation in a dense scattering media is modeled based on the physics of light transport. The bioinstrumentation involved in the development of optical-based imaging systems is complimented by the 2D/3D tomographic (i.e. image reconstruction) analysis carried out using computational tools. Bioinstrumentation includes the development of optical-based imaging systems using near-infrared (NIR) light sources (i.e. laser diodes) and detectors (i.e. PMTs, CCD, CMOS cameras). Three-dimensional tomographic analysis of the optical images is carried out using appropriate light propagation models and computationally intense mathematical tools in order to locate regions of interest.\r\n\r\nOur Optical Imaging Laboratory focuses on various clinical applications of near-infrared optical imaging technology.  Some of the key projects performing (-ed) include:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Non-contact hand-held optical imaging scanner for real-time assessment of oxygenation changes and perfusion changes in wound healing of diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers and arterial ulcers (clinical partners include dermatologist, podiatric surgeons, diabetologist, nursing faculty, statistics faculty)</li>\r\n 	<li>Diffuse optical imaging of breast cancer in-vivo using a hand-held 3D tomographic imaging device (clinical partners include breast surgeon, radiologist).</li>\r\n 	<li>Development of a novel 3D tomographic hand-held optical imager for imaging of large tissue volumes.</li>\r\n 	<li>Functional brain mapping of cognition of motor functions in response to physical therapy in pediatrics/adults with cerebral palsy and correlation to muscle kinematics (partners include physical therapy faculty).</li>\r\n 	<li>Functional brain mapping of cognition of joint attention in pediatrics with autism (clinical partners include neuropsychologist, psychology faculty).</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2><strong>Selected Publications</strong></h2>\r\n<ol>\r\n 	<li>Jayachandran, S.

After graduation he joined the faculty of Bascom Palmer Eye Institute of University of Miami as an assistant professor and later the Department of Ophthalmology, Keck School of Medicine of University of Southern California as an associate professor. He moved to Florida International University in the Fall of 2012. He is currently a professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering. His research interest is mainly focused on the development of innovative technologies for imaging and treatment of blinding eye diseases. His current research includes the technological development and application of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), Photoacoustic Microscopy, and Multimodal Functional Imaging for the early diagnosis and treatment monitoring of major blinding diseases like age related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma. By the summer of 2018 he holds 7 patents, one of which was licensed to a leading ophthalmic technology development company, 3 patent applications, and several invention disclosures. His research has been continuously funded by the NIH through major research grants. He has also received funding from the department of defense, the Wallace Coulter Foundation, and the JDRF.\r\n<h2><b>Research</b></h2>\r\nWith aging of the population vision loss is becoming a major public health problem worldwide. According to NEI, blindness or low vision affects 3.3 million Americans age 40 and over and it is projected to reach 5.5 million by the year 2020. In US most types of blindness and low vision are related to retinal diseases. The diagnosis and treatment monitoring for retinal diseases highly rely on in vivo imaging technologies.\r\n\r\nThe long term goal of Dr. Jiao’s research is to help prevent and cure blindness through technological innovations. Dr. Jiao’s lab, the Ophthalmic Imaging Lab, is dedicated to the development of novel optical technologies for 3D high resolution imaging of the anatomy and functions of the eye in vivo. The optical imaging technologies the lab currently focuses on include Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), Photoacoustic Microscopy, and Multimodal Imaging. These technologies serve as tools for the research and diagnosis of diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy. They also provide powerful tools for monitoring the functional regeneration of photoreceptors in regenerative medicine such as stem cell therapy.\r\n<ol>\r\n 	<li><strong>Optical Coherence Tomography</strong></li>\r\n</ol>\r\nOCT is a low-coherence interferometer-based noninvasive medical imaging modality that can provide high-resolution sectional images of biological tissues. Since it was first reported more than two decades ago, OCT has been used in a variety of medical research and diagnostic applications with the most successful being in ophthalmology for retinal sectional imaging. The interference signals of OCT can be detected in either time domain (TD-OCT) or spectral domain (SD-OCT). Spectral-domain detection has the advantages of fast imaging speed and better signal-to-noise ratio. Currently, SD-OCT has become one of the major retinal imaging techniques in ophthalmic clinics.\r\n\r\nDr. Jiao’s lab pioneered the use of high resolution SD-OCT in imaging small animal models of ocular diseases. Currently, SD-OCT plays an important role in ophthalmic research using animal models.\r\n<ol start=\"2\">\r\n 	<li><strong>Photoacoustic Microscopy</strong></li>\r\n</ol>\r\nPAM is an optical-absorption based microscopic imaging modality that detects laser-induced ultrasonic waves (photoacoustic waves) as a result of specific optical absorption. Photoacoustic ophthalmoscopy (PAOM) is a branch of PAM. PAOM is capable of imaging the physiologically-specific optical absorption contrast in the retina, which is missing in all existing ophthalmic imaging modalities. PAOM was first introduced in 2010 by Dr. Jiao’s lab together with his collaborators and has since achieved high-speed, high-resolution in vivo imaging of the vasculature of the retina and the pigmentation of the RPE in small animals.\r\n<ol start=\"3\">\r\n 	<li><strong>Multimodal imaging</strong></li>\r\n</ol>\r\nMultimodal imaging takes advantages of combining different contrast mechanisms to provide comprehensive anatomical and functional information of biological tissues. PAOM and OCT, PAOM and autofluorecence imaging, and OCT and autofluorescence imaging  are imaging modalities that can provide complementary contrasts for imaging biological tissues and are good candidates for an integrated multimodal system.\r\n<h2><b>Selected Publications</b></h2>\r\n1.
