IEEE NTC Distinguished Lecture Series 2022 on Analyses of Molecular Expression of Cancer Cells Cultured in Stacking Nanofiber Substrate by Prof. Kin Fong Lei, Chang Gung University, Taiwan, on 5th December 2022, Monday from 10:30 AM onwards online. To register please scan the given QR codeor go to the below link https://forms.gle/QDonsazXcgUYT85i9

Talk Abstract: In this talk, nanofiber substrate was used for culturing biological cells in three-dimensional space. The viability and molecular expression of cells could be directly analyzed. Cells were cultured in nanofiber substrate and expressed cell properties in a three-dimensional environment. By stacking the nanofiber substrates, three-dimensional solid tumor tissue could be simulated to study the internal hypoxic environment of solid tumors. Cellular response in each layer could be analyzed by de-assembling the nanofiber substrates after the culture course. The result showed that the internal hypoxic environment was successfully re-produced in the stacking nanofiber construct. The cells in the inner layer expressed high levels of HIF1- and VEGFA. Hence, the proliferation and migration of endothelial cells were shown to be induced by the cells located in the internal hypoxic environment. Moreover, the stacking nanofiber construct was transplanted to n**e mice for the study of hypoxic response and angiogenesis. The crosstalk between the internal and external parts of solid tumor could be analyzed by sectioning each layer of the stacking nanofiber construct. This approach provides a favorable analytical method for the discovery of the interaction between cancer cells, hypoxia, and peripheral angiogenesis.

Talk Abstract: My laboratory develops light-based technologies for imaging and sensing in the central nervous system. Here I discuss three exemplary projects in my laboratory in various domains.

-First, in the basic research domain, I describe efforts to develop longer wavelength Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) at 1300 nm, 1700 nm, and even 2200 nm to image blood flow, vascular, and cellular architecture in deep cortical and sub-cortical layers non-invasively in rodents.

-Second, in the clinical ophthalmic research domain, I describe efforts to develop and optimize visible light OCT for ultrahigh resolution retinal imaging in human subjects. I demonstrate human imaging of retinal inner plexiform layer lamination, potentially a biomarker of dendritic changes in glaucoma, and Bruch's membrane, ground zero for the earliest changes in age-related macular degeneration.

-Third, in the experimental technology domain, I describe our novel approach to diffuse optical measurements of the human brain that uses interferometry. Using CMOS sensors for detection, we have demonstrated a reduction in cost of optical cerebral blood flow (CBF) measurements by two orders of magnitude over conventional techniques. I envision implications of this technology, which include high performance continuous CBF monitoring in neurointensive care, low-cost cell phone based CBF monitors for consumers, and better optical brain computer interfaces.

About Speaker: Vivek Srinivasan is Associate Professor of Radiology and Ophthalmology at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine. His group develops new light-based technologies for in vivo imaging and sensing of the brain and eye. Starting with a firm grounding in neurophysiology and biomedical engineering, his group employ ideas novel photonic technologies and approaches to accomplish this goal.

The IEEE IISC NC SC Joint Student Chapter is organising a symposium on “Emerging Nanotechnology in Healthcare” at Centre for Nano Science and Engineering (CeNSE), Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore, India in collaboration with IEEE IISC Student chapter and IEEE Bangalore section. The aim of this symposium is to introduce students/professionals to the world of nanobiotechnology and its applications in healthcare, with a special emphasis on enablement through Nanotechnology.

This symposium has been designed to give an overview of nanotechnology in biomedical research, microfluidics technology and principles, nanomaterial, therapeutics, regenerative medicines, nanogenerators, organ-on-chip, drug delivery, current challenges in existing techniques and the research being made in this field to address the same. It also aims to provide a platform for industries, researchers and academicians for productive interaction on the same lines.
It comprises lectures on theoretical and experimental topics delivered by the faculties at IISc, NCBS and In-Stem, followed by industrially oriented talks and a demo where the participants will get exposure to the techniques used in this field.

The proposed symposium is expecting participation from undergraduates, graduate students, post-docs and researchers at the early stages of their careers, who are eager to broaden their skills and gain first-hand experience and exposure in the field of nanotechnology enabled healthcare systems. It also targets industries working in these fields which help in providing a forum for discussion between academia and industry and help the participants to bridge the gap between the two.

Event Timing: 30th - 31st May, 2022

One of the major motivations in Microelectromechanical systems researches is health monitoring. Wearable sensors are a very significant part of that. Apart from inherent challenges in terms of fabrication and integration, wearable sensor requires power sources on board that can feed the ever-increasing demand of energy from the sensors, actuators and other related components. Keeping this in mind , we present a talk on “Wearable Energy Autonomous Systems” by Dr. Libu Manjakkal, University of Glasgow, where he would talk about materials and electrolytes that have been used to develop wearable energy storage systems.

Drug Delivery is a very significant part of biomedical engineering and an important motivation for research in the field of medical science. There is great emphasis laid on monitoring of drug delivery and its control through engineering and hence there is a lot focus on tools that can help us achieve that. Uptake of drugs using Coherent Raman spectroscopy in conjunction with AI can help us understand trends and phenomena that were earlier either very complex or just beyond the scope of understanding through simple computation. Keeping all these things in mind we present a talk “Pharmacokinetic Tomography with coherent Raman Scattering” by Dr. Conor L. Evans, where, he would talk about trying to monitor and analyse uptake of drugs within the skin tissue. Following is the link to register: https://forms.gle/W9RwdCVRFsediWdm8
