HELEN BLAU, DEPARTMENT OF MICROBIOLOGY & IMMUNOLOGY
Attend Dr. Blau's pre-seminar presentation to learn more about Dr. Samuel Stupp's seminar, "Guiding BioRegeneration with Supramolecular Materials", to be held Thursday, January 19th.
BRETT BOUMA, HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL AND MASSACHUSETTS GENERAL HOSPITAL
Optical coherence tomography, an imaging modality based on interferometric detection of backscattered infrared light, was initially demonstrated in 1991. The technical advances as well as the hurdles that underpin the long development timeline of OCT will be discussed and the current clinical status will be reviewed.
AUDREY BOWDEN, DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
Attend Dr. Bowden's pre-seminar presentation to learn more about Dr. Brett Bouma's seminar, "The development of optical coherence tomography as a medical device", to be held Thursday, December 8th.
MOLLY SHOICHET, UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO
The Shoichet lab's research program requires a cross disciplinary approach where aspects of engineering, chemistry, and biology are applied to the fields of Regenerative Medicine, Tissue Engineering and Drug Delivery. They have become very interested in drug discovery, drug screening and drug delivery in cancer.
FAN YANG, DEPARTMENTS OF ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY AND OF BIOENGINEERING
Attend Dr. Yang's pre-seminar presentation to learn more about Dr. Molly Shoichet's seminar, "3 cancer stories – from colloidal drug aggregates to 3D cell culture to targeted delivery", to be held Thursday, November 3rd.
DAVID PRINCE, DEPARTMENT OF NEUROLOGY & NEUROLOGICAL SCIENCES
Attend Dr. Prince's pre-seminar presentation, "To prune or not to prune?", to learn more about Dr. Beth Stevens's seminar, "How Microglia Prune Synapses in Health & Disease", to be held Thursday, October 6th.
BETH STEVENS, BOSTON CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL AND HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL
One of the major unsolved mysteries in neuroscience is how synapses are eliminated in the developing and diseased brain. During development synaptic pruning is required for precise brain wiring; however the mechanisms that drive the elimination of specific synapses remain elusive. Emerging evidence implicates resident phagocytes called microglia, and molecules traditionally associated with the immune system.
