The most common cardiac\nelectrical therapies today are pacing and defibrillation\, which act to restore mechanical\nfunction and blood flow by correcting pathological electrical dysrhythmias. Each year over\n100\,000 implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) are implanted in the US alone\, and\ndespite significant research\, both ICDs and noninvasive pacing therapies are limited by the\ncommon issue of pain. The pain of electrical therapies is a well-studied yet poorly-understood\nlimitation that has created underserved clinical populations. My work to reduce pain uses\nbiophysically detailed computational models\, isolated muscle and heart preparations\, and\nlarge animal in vivo experiments. A novel method to quantify pain in animals was developed\nbased on extensive evidence suggesting that aberrant skeletal muscle contraction underlies\nshock-induced pain. This measurement\, the rate of force development (RoFD)\, was then\nused to develop a novel waveform to reduce pain caused by defibrillation. I will discuss this\nprior work\, other studies to reduce the pain of external cardiac pacing\, and ongoing work to\ntranslate our findings to human clinical application. \nSpeaker\nDr. Hunter is a 2010 graduate of the University of Maine’s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. After\ngraduation he pursued his doctorate in biomedical engineering at Johns Hopkins University where his research focused on\ncardiac electrophysiology\, specifically novel electrical therapies for cardiac arrhythmia. After he completed his Ph.D. he began\nresearch on atrial ablation therapies in the Johns Hopkins Medicine Cardiology department. He is also a lecturer in the\ndepartment of biomedical engineering and a consultant for a startup company that was founded on his Ph.D. research. \n  URL:https://gsbse.umaine.edu/event/seminar-reducing-pain-cardiac-electrical-therapies/ LOCATION:Arthur St. John Hill Auditorium ESRB/Barrows Hall\, Orono\, ME\, 04468\, United States CATEGORIES:Faculty,Student END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20171010T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20171010T150000 DTSTAMP:20260418T055427 CREATED:20171002T184539Z LAST-MODIFIED:20171006T163837Z UID:10000047-1507644000-1507647600@gsbse.umaine.edu SUMMARY:Webinar: SPARK Global – A new worldwide initiative to improve translation of medical research to benefit patient health DESCRIPTION:About:\nThis workshop will be very useful to learn about the SPARK programs to facilitate faculty to move ideas into products (therapies\, diagnosis\, devices)  with actual funding. SPARK initiative started in Stanford\, but many institutions in different countries worldwide have established individual SPARK programs and we are now moving to Global SPARK. We established SPARK at the University of Vermont 4 years ago and the number of faculty who have entered the entrepreneurship area has markedly grown. \n\nSpeaker Bio:\nMichael Wallach\, Ph.D.\, has over 30 years of experience in molecular parasitology with a wealth of experience in both academic and industrial science. He was the inaugural director of a key research institute\, Institute for the Biotechnology of Infectious Diseases\, at University of Technology Sydney (UTS) in 2002. In 2008\, Michael established a new course in Bio-Innovation and Entrepreneurship where graduates work in small teams to form creative innovative ideas for medical health products. This course has been given locally and internationally culminating in 2016 with a course given at the Stanford University School of Medicine. In 2013\, he was appointed as the inaugural director of the SPARK Sydney program\, which was established by UTS and the University of Sydney\, to emulate the Stanford SPARK program. Furthermore\, Michael played a key role in building SPARK Global\, which is expected to be formally established\, with the participation of 10 countries\, in 2017.

Our laboratory is currently developing a few novel soft-materials based biotechnologies exploring scale-dependent physical science and the miniaturization technology towards efficient healthcare. In this talk\, I will review our research on rapid blood screening devices for circulating tumor cells detection and analysis\, and the recent collaboration with Facebook on developing tactile communication devices using polymer piezoelectric thin films. Nano-Micro scale science\, Information\, and Biomedicine are integrative components of the research that are used with advanced engineering tools to facilitate biomedical studies and develop point-of-care diagnostics for global health applications. \nAbout Dr. Zhang:  Dr. John X.J. Zhang is a Professor at Thayer School of Engineering\, Dartmouth College. Before joining Dartmouth\, he was an Associate Professor with tenure in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Texas of Austin (UT Austin). He received his B.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University\, China in 1995\, M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from University of Maine\, Orono in1998\, and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University\, California in 2004\, and he was a Research Scientist in Systems Biology at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) before joining the faculty at UT Austin in 2005. Dr. Zhang is a Fellow of American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE)\, and a recipient of 2016 NIH Director’s Transformative Research Award. \nZhang’s research focuses on exploring bio-inspired nanomaterials\, scale-dependent biophysics\, and nanofabrication technology\, towards developing new diagnostic devices and methods on probing complex cellular processes and biological networks critical to development and diseases. Both multi-scale experimental and theoretical approaches are combined to investigate fundamental force\, flow and energy processes at the interface of engineering and biomedicine. In particular\, his laboratory is leading the development of integrated microfluidic and photonic microsystems (MEMS\, micro-electro-mechanical systems)\, semiconductor chips and nanotechnologies critical to healthcare\, defense and environmental applications. Dr. Zhang has a track record for developing well-funded research programs and his research has been sponsored by NIH\, NSF\, DARPA\, the Wallace H. Coulter Foundation\, British Council\, and several other agencies. His group has published over 160 peer reviewed publications\, presented over 70 invited seminars worldwide and filed more than 50 patents (7 US patents and 30+ international patents issued). He received the Wallace Coulter Foundation Early Career Award for developing handheld microphotonic imaging scanners and microsystems for early oral cancer detection; NSF CAREER award for the invention of plasmonic scanning probes design for controlled perturbation and imaging at sub-cellular level; and DARPA Young Faculty Award for patterning plasmonic surface on MEMS for biomarker sensing applications. Dr. Zhang is also a recipient of NIH Director’s Transformative Research Awards in 2016\, to develop implantable energy harvesting devices enabled by flexible porous polymer films integrated on multi-stable structures. His research findings were licensed to two companies: CardioSpectra (acquired by Volcano\, Nasdaq: VOLC)\, and NanoLite Systems for developing successful products designed to diagnose cancer through blood screening\, tissue imaging and cell transformations at the point-of-care. Recently\, Dr. Zhang is leading the effort working with Facebook on inventing wearable actuators for social touch and future tactile communication through the skin. \nHe is an alumnus of NAE Frontiers of Engineering programs\, an editor for IEEE/ASME Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems\, and has published a textbook for undergraduates entitled Molecular Sensors and Nanodevices: Principles\, Designs and Applications in Biomedical Engineering. \n  \n  \n  URL:https://gsbse.umaine.edu/event/seminar-soft-materials-based-sensors-actuators-cancer-diagnosis-tactile-communication/ LOCATION:Arthur St. John Hill Auditorium ESRB/Barrows Hall\, Orono\, ME\, 04468\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20171215T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20171215T130000 DTSTAMP:20260418T055427 CREATED:20171014T181405Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180828T175942Z UID:10000053-1513339200-1513342800@gsbse.umaine.edu SUMMARY:Student Monthly Meeting DESCRIPTION:All Meetings Video-Conferenced to GSBSE Sites\, except January\, April\, and September In-Person Meetings. \nTo connect to the conference from your Polycom enter the IP address of our bridge : 169.244.81.112.
