Please join us for the following Biomedical Engineering Graduate Student Presentation: Ph.D. Dissertation Defense In Vitro Generation of Engineered Platelets for Transgenic Protein Delivery Applications Wednesday, April 30, 2025 2:00 PM SMBB 3250 (BME Large Conference Rm) Zoom Meeting ID: 953 8568 5704 ~ Passcode: 539166 Presenter: Mitchell R. Lewis Advisor: Dr. Tara Deans Regenerative medicine and cell engineering are rapidly growing fields with the potential for tremendous impact in reducing disease burden and healthcare costs. Research efforts in synthetic biology and genetic engineering are developing powerful tools to endow cells with therapeutic capabilities both in repairing diseased or damaged tissue and for drug delivery. However, the manufacturing of rare or non-dividing cell types remains a challenge in several applications. Pluripotent stem cells have the capacity to differentiate into any cell type in the body, providing the starting materials to generate these cell types, but require the… Campus Locations: Sorenson Molecular Biotechnology Building - James LeVoy (SMBB).

Ph.D. Dissertation Defense: Bram Hunt

Please join us for the following Biomedical Engineering Graduate Student Presentation: Ph.D. Dissertation Defense Cracking Atrial Fibrillation with the Endocardial Electrogram Monday, May 5, 2025 11:00 AM HELIX Rm 1C110 (Singleleaf Conference Room) Zoom Meeting ID: 966 9855 0215 ~ Passcode: 843366 Presenter: Bram Hunt Advisor: Dr. Ravi Ranjan Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common electrical disease of the heart, presents a significant clinical challenge due to the complex manner in which it remodels electrical and structural cardiac properties. This remodeling often renders standard therapies ineffective, leading our laboratory to investigate critical aspects of AF by applying advanced mapping techniques and artificial intelligence to electrical signals collected near the surface of the heart, otherwise called electrograms (EGMs). First, we captured high-density EGMs from AF over six months to identify the stability of "drivers." Briefly, drivers are sites inside the heart with abnormal electrical… Campus Locations: Healthcare, Educators, Leaders & Innovators Complex (HELIX).

Ph.D. Dissertation Defense: Hunter Levis

Please join us for the following Biomedical Engineering Graduate Student Presentation: Ph.D. Dissertation Defense Enhancing the Regenerative Capabilities of Stem Cell Therapies Utilizing CRISPR-Guided Gene ModulationNE MODULATION Tuesday, May 6, 2025 12:00 PM SMBB 2650 (Auditorium) Zoom Meeting ID: 988 1389 1946 ~ Passcode: 853924 Presenter: Hunter Levis Advisor: Dr. Robby Bowles Low back pain (LBP) is the leading cause of disability worldwide and is frequently associated with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the intervertebral disc (IVD). DDD involves the breakdown of IVDs, characterized by the loss of aggrecan and collagen II. Current treatments are limited and mainly address painful symptoms rather than the underlying condition of DDD. Stem cell and tissue engineering therapies are being explored to treat both the symptoms and diseased tissue directly. However, IVD’s avascular and harsh microenvironment limits the effectiveness of these regenerative approaches. CRISPR-guided gene modulation offers a… Campus Locations: Sorenson Molecular Biotechnology Building - James LeVoy (SMBB). Alternate Location: Zoom Meeting ID: 988 1389 1946 ~ Passcode: 853924.

Ph.D. Research Proposal - Monika Buczak

Please join us for the following Biomedical Engineering Graduate Student Presentation: Ph.D. Research Proposal Increasing Independence through Myoelectric Control of Assistive Technology Thursday, May 8, 2025 1:00 PM HSEB 2948 (Health Sciences Education Bldg.) Zoom Meeting ID: 958 0252 8800 ~ Passcode: emg Presenter: Monika Buczak Advisor: Dr. Jacob A. George Neurological disorders and injury lead to many complex disabilities with varying levels of neuromuscular function and control. For many patients, the loss of physical autonomy affects physical, psychological, and socioeconomic well-being. To regain some independence and control, adaptive controllers have been developed to manipulate external devices. Several controllers exist, including joystick, voice commands, breath commands, and gaze-tracking. These adaptive controllers are useful but unintuitive and lack the dexterity needed for complex tasks and true independence. This work will introduce and verify an alternative control method based on surface… Campus Locations: Health Sciences Education Building - Spencer F. and Cleone P. Eccles (HSEB).
