Biomedical Engineering Seminar - Dr. Jeffrey Bates

BIOENGINEERING ELEVATED TALK CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING AT THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH, Bridging Materials Science and Environmental Health,   Dr. Jeffrey Bates, Assistant Professor, Department of Materials Science & Engineering, University of Utah, In person in SMBB 2650! Recent decades have witnessed extraordinary advances in the intersection of materials science, environmental health, and performance engineering. In my research program, three themes drive our experimental and translational agenda: hydrogel-based devices, ski glide physics, and biodegradable polymers. I will present new developments in the design and 3D printing of hydrogel-based sensors, actuators, and drug delivery devices—systems engineered for applications in soft robotics, microfluidics, and responsive layered structures that can both detect analytes and dynamically deliver therapeutics based on molecular signatures. Progress in hydrogel imprinting and crosslinking, as well as translation into biomedical devices, will… Event Categories: Seminars.

Ph.D. Dissertation Defense - Sushanto Kumar Saha

Please join us for the following Biomedical Engineering Graduate Student Presentation: Ph.D. Dissertation Defense Investigating the in vitro macrophage saturation and in vivo toxicity of silica nanoparticles as a function of nanoparticle physicochemical properties Friday, April 3, 2026 at 2:00 PM 4100B EHSEB (Eccles Health Sciences Education Bldg.) Zoom Meeting ID: 895 1162 8454 ~ Passcode: 851683 Presenter: Sushanto Kumar Saha Advisor: Dr. Hamid Ghandehari Silica nanoparticles (SNPs) have been extensively studied in nanomedicine for bioactive agent delivery and imaging applications. SNPs offer several advantages, including tunable physicochemical properties, cost-effective synthesis, high cargo loading capacity, and multimodal theranostic applications. However, no FDA-approved drugs have used SNPs as carriers for systemic administration. A critical gap remains in assessing the toxicity of these systems when administered intravenously, specifically in correlating toxicity with SNP physicochemical properties… Alternate Location: Zoom Meeting ID: 895 1162 8454 ~ Passcode: 851683.

Zoom Meeting ID: 81353370901 ~ Passcode: ankle Presenter: Melissa Requist Advisor: Dr. Amy Lenz Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is a progressive, inherited peripheral neuropathy that, despite heterogeneity in genetic cause and symptoms, typically presents with a characteristic cavovarus foot deformity. This deformity is classically described as an alteration in alignment, but recent research suggests that differences in bony morphology contribute. However, neither foot alignment nor bony morphology have been well characterized in CMT throughout the foot and ankle or between genetic subtypes. CMT routinely presents in childhood or adolescence, but existing… Campus Locations: Kennecott Mechanical Engineering Building - Rio Tinto (MEK).
