Biomedical Engineering Seminar - Dr. Jonathon Schofield

BIOENGINEERING ELEVATED TALK CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING AT THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH, Missing Hands, Hidden Potential: Advancing Prosthesis for Children Born Without a Hand by Rethinking Muscle Control ,   Dr. Jonathon Schofield, Associate Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, UC Davis In person in SMBB 2650! Pediatric prosthetic users present unique challenges for device design and patient clinical care. Most children who use a prosthesis are born without a hand which is unlike most adult users who most typically lose a limb later in life. These children’s affected forearm muscles will have never actuated an intact hand, and this lifelong absence shapes muscle control in ways fundamentally different from adult amputees. Many children adapt early in life by developing compensatory strategies during activities of daily living and often feel no sense of loss but may feel different from their peers. Together, these factors have fueled the widespread assumption that they cannot… Event Categories: Seminars. Campus Locations: Sorenson Molecular Biotechnology Building - James LeVoy (SMBB).

Biomedical Engineering Seminar - Dr. Joel Boerckel

BIOENGINEERING ELEVATED TALK CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING AT THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH, Mechanobiology of Development and Regeneration,   Dr. Joel D. Boerckel, Associate Professor Orthopaedic Surgery & Bioengineering, University of Pennsylvania In person in SMBB 2650! My laboratory aims to understand how cells transduce mechanical signals and to use these insights to develop new therapies for disease and regeneration. In this talk, I will share our recent findings on the roles of mechanical forces in skeletal development and regeneration, our deep learning-enabled engineering of new optogenetic tools for the study of mechanobiology, and our discoveries of mechanobiology-inspired interventions for developmental disorders of the skeleton and of new cellular targets for promoting tissue regeneration. Joel Boerckel studies mechanobiology as a lens to understand embryo development and adult tissue regeneration, and applies these discoveries to develop new regenerative therapies.

Biomedical Engineering Seminar - Dr. Elvira Pirondini

BIOENGINEERING ELEVATED TALK CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING AT THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH, POTENTIATION OF CORTICO-SPINAL AND CORTICO-BULBAR OUTPUT TO RESTORE MOTOR FUNCTIONS,   Dr. Elvira Pirondini, Assistant Professor in the Departments of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and Bioengineering, University of Pittsburgh In person in SMBB 2650! Lesions of the cortico-spinal tract (CST) and cortico-bulbar tract (CBT), resulting from stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), brain tumors, or neurodegenerative disorders, disrupt communication between the cortex and lower motor centers, leading to significant functional deficits in face, upper, or lower limb muscles. However, in most cases, the damage to the descending axons is incomplete offering a potential target for new therapies aimed at improving volitional muscle activation. In my talk, I will first present findings demonstrating how targeted stimulation of the motor thalamus can facilitate activation of surviving CST and CBT fibers thereby… Event Categories: Seminars.
