We combine thermal models with the Smoluchowski equation to assess the interactions of EP and AC waveforms with biological cells. We further develop a computationally efficient model based on the asymptotic Smoluchowski to screen biological response over seven orders of magnitude of pulse duration with excellent agreement between simulated electroporation and experimental observations. Applications in microorganism inactivation\, natural products for cancer therapy\, platelet activation\, and stem cell stimulation will be discussed. \n\n\n\nPrint PDF URL:https://engineering.wisc.edu/event/bme-seminar-series-allen-garner-phd/ LOCATION:1003 (Tong Auditorium) Engineering Centers Building\, 1550 Engineering Drive\, Madison\, WI\, 53706\, United States CATEGORIES:Biomedical Engineering,Seminar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://engineering.wisc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Seminar-Graphic-Fall2024-1.avif ORGANIZER;CN="Department of Biomedical Engineering":MAILTO:bmehelp@bme.wisc.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20250922T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20250922T130000 DTSTAMP:20260409T105510 CREATED:20250827T170410Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250910T203228Z UID:10001292-1758542400-1758546000@engineering.wisc.edu SUMMARY:BME Seminar Series: Marty Pagel\, PhD DESCRIPTION:Molecular Imaging of the Tumor Microenvironment\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMarty Pagel\, PhDProfessorDepartment of Medical PhysicsDepartment of RadiologyUniversity of Wisconsin-Madison \n\n\n\nAbstract:Tumor acidosis\, hypoxia\, and vascular perfusion are well-known characteristics of the tumor microenvironment. We have developed MRI\, MR Fingerprinting\, PET/MRI\, electron paramagnetic resonance imaging (EPRI)\, and photoacoustic imaging (PAI) to quantitatively measure extracellular pH\, oxygenation\, and pharmacokinetic transport rates in solid tumors. We apply these molecular imaging methods to preclinical tumor models\, and we have translated some of our methods to evaluate patients who have cancer. We are especially focused on employing molecular imaging to predict treatment effect before starting therapy\, and to evaluate the early response to treatment\, during evaluations of chemotherapy\, radiotherapy and immunotherapy. This presentation will discuss a variety of molecular imaging methods and research applications\, and also discuss a value proposition for molecular imaging. \n\n\n\nPrint PDF URL:https://engineering.wisc.edu/event/bme-seminar-series-marty-pagel-phd/ LOCATION:1003 (Tong Auditorium) Engineering Centers Building\, 1550 Engineering Drive\, Madison\, WI\, 53706\, United States CATEGORIES:Biomedical Engineering,Seminar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://engineering.wisc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Seminar-Graphic-Fall2024-1.avif ORGANIZER;CN="Department of Biomedical Engineering":MAILTO:bmehelp@bme.wisc.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20250926T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20250927T180000 DTSTAMP:20260409T105510 CREATED:20250904T215240Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250923T132350Z UID:10001313-1758904200-1758996000@engineering.wisc.edu SUMMARY:College of Engineering Hackathon/Makerthon DESCRIPTION:The inaugural IoT Hacker-and-Makerthon at UW–Madison is here! In just 24 hours\, you and your team will tackle real-world challenges provided by industry partners Plexus and Accuray. Use your skills from class\, connect with their engineers\, and bring your creativity to life – whether it’s in IoT\, robotics\, or beyond. There are no limits to what you can build! Mentors will be available around the clock to support you. \n\n\n\nIn addition to developing your solution\, you will also have the opportunity to sharpen your presentation skills.

One of our research interests is to understand how immune cells (e.g.\, dendritic cells (DCs)) can be manipulated or engineered using chemistry\, material\, and chemical biology approaches\, in order to develop effective therapies for cancer and other diseases. In this talk\, I will present our recent efforts in molecular\, systemic\, and in situ engineering of DCs and further development of robust cancer vaccines. These include molecules and polymers that can interact with DC membrane and thus activate DCs\, and macroporous materials that can actively recruit and program DCs in situ. I will then conclude my talk with several short stories along the line of metabolic glycan labeling\, another key technology in my lab\, regarding how we made it possible to precisely modulate cells that are historically challenging to engineer. \n\n\n\nPrint PDF URL:https://engineering.wisc.edu/event/bme-seminar-series-hua-wang-phd/ LOCATION:1003 (Tong Auditorium) Engineering Centers Building\, 1550 Engineering Drive\, Madison\, WI\, 53706\, United States CATEGORIES:Biomedical Engineering,Seminar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://engineering.wisc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Seminar-Graphic-Fall2024-1.avif ORGANIZER;CN="Department of Biomedical Engineering":MAILTO:bmehelp@bme.wisc.edu END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
