SUMMARY:BME Seminar Series: Paul Ellison\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Preclinical nuclear medicine and magnetic resonance imaging for theranostic radiopharmaceutical development\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPaul Ellison\, PhDAssistant Professor\, Medical PhysicsSchool of Medicine and Public HealthUniversity of Wisconsin-Madison \n\n\n\nAbstract:The development of radiopharmaceuticals for use in nuclear medicine for the diagnosis and treatment of disease is a highly interdisciplinary field that integrates elements of engineering\, materials science\, physics\, chemistry\, and biology. It requires the use of a wide variety of specialty equipment\, like particle accelerators\, automated radiochemical synthesizers\, and imaging systems\, such as positron emission tomography (SPECT) or single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) that provide biochemical information-rich spatial images\, which are often paired with a second modality\, such as x-ray computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to provide accurate anatomical references. In this presentation\, Dr. Ellison will discuss recent efforts to develop novel theranostic small molecule radiopharmaceuticals for PET imaging and radiopharmaceutical therapy of glioblastoma through targeting system xC–\, a cell surface antiporter that exchanges cystine and glutamate as a key part of the cellular antioxidant defense system. Using modern chemically versatile halodeborylation chemistries\, Dr. Ellison’s laboratory has prepared homologously matched radiopharmaceuticals that emit a variety of medically useful radiations\, including positrons (18F\, 77Br) and photons (131I) for imaging and Auger electrons (77Br) and beta particles (131I) for therapy. Comparative biology studies of this family of compounds utilize the gamut of preclinical imaging technologies\, including PET\, SPECT\, CT\, and MRI. \n\n\n\nPrint PDF

SUMMARY:ME 150th Celebration: Distinguished Alumni\, Fred Kiekhaefer
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate 150 years of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Wisconsin – Madison\, the Department of Mechanical Engineering will feature distinguished alumni in mechanical engineering and engineering mechanics who have made a lasting impact on the field. Fred Kiekhaefer\, who received his master’s (’72) in mechanical engineering\, is the former President of Mercury Racing. To learn more about Fred Kiekhaefer’s experience\, please join us for this installment of our ME 903: Graduate Student Lecture series. \n\n\n\nTitle: Every Career is a Journey \n\n\n\nAbstract: A brief recap of my career journey will illustrate that success may not be what you think it is. Only about 4% of the world’s people are lucky enough to be in America. Possibilities abound here. Engineering education is a great first step. But you’re not done. You’ve only earned the right to keep learning. When you’re a student for life\, success can occur when your preparation meets with opportunity. Difficulty and setbacks will occur; but redirect\, persevere and always seek opportunity. Take reasonable risk. Still\, there’s always a risk of failure. Focus on the positives; learn from the negatives. Self-doubt is common\, but you can drive through it; personal integrity is non-negotiable. Develop networks! Mentors! Surround yourself with people smarter than you. \n\n\n\nMost importantly\, know that wealth isn’t money: it’s health\, relationships\, integrity & serving a purpose greater than yourself. Find your passion. Enjoy the ride. Have fun! \n\n\n\nBio: Fred Kiekhaefer is an engineer\, entrepreneur\, and former senior executive with a career spanning advanced engineering\, manufacturing\, and marine business leadership. Kiekhaefer is known for his innovative work as the president of Mercury Racing for more than 2 decades. With Kiekhaefer at the helm\, Mercury Racing became the high-performance marine engine leader. \n\n\n\nKiekhaefer holds a BA in Physics from Ripon College\, an MS in Mechanical Engineering from UW–Madison\, and an MBA from Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management. Fred has led organizations ranging from startups to major divisions at leading companies. His career reflects a lifelong commitment to innovation\, continuous learning\, and leadership guided by purpose and integrity.
