Congrats are in order to Hani for securing an INS Innovative Research Grant. She was on of two recipients to received this grant out of 72 interested applicants and will accept her award in Barcelona, Spain. Feel free to congratulate her when you see her around! Vanderbilt postdoctoral recruitment symposium featuring Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science On April 28-29, 2022, Vanderbilt University will be hosting the annual Vanderbilt Integrative Training Alliance (VITA) Symposium, a conference focused on biomedical sciences graduate students. Attendees have a unique opportunity to connect with the Vanderbilt community, obtain a long-term mentoring relationship with a Vanderbilt faculty member, and gain training in scientific communication from the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science<https://www.aldacenter.org>. The event will also feature a keynote address from Vanderbilt postdoc alumna, Dr. Shaneda Anderson<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linke…>. This year the conference will be virtual. The complete two day schedule and application can be found here<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmedschool…>. While the symposium is open to all, we particularly encourage individuals from backgrounds underrepresented in academia to apply, including but not limited to those who identify as Black, African-American, Latino, Hispanic, Native American, or Pacific Islander, those who have a disability, first generation college-goers, those from disadvantaged socio-economic backgrounds, and those underrepresented on the basis of gender identity or expression or sexual orientation. NRMN Grant Writing Coaching Groups study - Last cohort - deadline to apply is March 24, 2022! I am one of the Co-Investigators of this study, based at the University of Utah, funded through the NIH National Research Mentoring Network (NRMN) effort. This cohort, which will the 6th and last, will kick off August 10-12. All of the sessions are conducted virtually. Briefly, participants meet bi-weekly for 5-6 months in groups of 4-5 with a faculty Coach who has been successful at obtaining research grants and has been trained in the group method. The study is a randomized trial comparing 4 different group process and duration designs. It is not a typical 'controlled' design, where some individuals receive no coaching, since the benefit of grant writing coaching groups has already been established. The deadline to apply for this final round is March, 24. Participation in the study is open to faculty and advanced postdoctoral fellows who have not yet received NIH R01-level funding. Participants can be working on NIH K or R-type proposals, or equivalent for other agencies, and will be actively writing their proposals in the August-December, 2022, timeframe. All of the details of the study and a link to the application can be found here: https://nrmnet.net/university-of-utah-nrmn-u01/ Please pass this along to any of your faculty and advanced fellows you think could benefit from this highly effective grant writing process. In addition to coming away with a successful submission, they will come away with a wealth of new knowledge and skills in grant writing they will be able to apply to future proposals. VA JOB Announcement See Attached I would like to make you aware of an exciting opportunity for graduating Biomedical Engineers. The Biomedical Engineer Technical Career Field (TCF) positions were posted to USAjobs.com on February 23, 2022I. The posting can be found on USAJOBS at https://www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/638851000. It will stay active until March 10, 2022. The TCF program is a national workforce development program within the Department of Veterans Affairs, the aim of which is to help replenish technical staff in critically identified positions. Individuals selected follow a formal training plan for two years during which they are trained, coached, and supervised by a preceptor. Preceptors are selected annually, through an extensive application process, for their technical expertise, commitment to training, and the suitability of their facility as a training location. Selectees will be required to sign Mobility, Training, and Continued Service Agreements. Job duties for the Biomedical Engineering TCFs include evaluating medical equipment, managing the medical equipment maintenance program, and coordinating new medical technology implementations. Throughout the training program, the selectee will develop abilities to effectively support and advance patient care by applying both engineering and managerial skills to healthcare technology. While developing these skills, the selectee will receive assignments to prepare for higher-level management and leadership responsibilities. Promotion potential exists to the highest levels within the Biomedical (Clinical) Engineering career field. Career advancement can take TCF graduates to all regions of the country and toward numerous healthcare leadership roles. I have also included a flyer to share with students! The flyer lists all locations that will be looking for TCF Biomedical Engineers for the FY22 period. Thanks in advance for your assistance spreading the word about this great program. If you have any questions, please email Emma.Nehring(a)va.gov<mailto:Emma.Nehring@va.gov> or Tekia Chess at Tekia.Chess(a)va.gov<mailto:Tekia.Chess@va.gov>. Postdoctoral Research Positions, University of Pittsburgh See Attached I would greatly appreciate if you would disseminate the attached postdoctoral opportunity to any and all that might be interested. The position will remain open until filled so please pass it along to anyone in their final year or two of their doctoral work. Interested candidates can also reach out to me directly if they would like to discuss this position in any greater detail.

[Bmeroundtable-list] Prospective BME Faculty Seminar - Dr. Abhay B. Ramachandra - Thurs., March 3, 9:30 a.m.

[cid:image001.jpg@01D82D81.2DFC7320] Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Prospective Faculty Seminar Thursday, March 3, 2022 9:30-10:20am MJIS 1001 or Via Zoom: https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/98643965214?pwd=SkhaT2FEWTRJSG5CMGw5L29oVENKZz… An integrative approach to understand vascular adaptation in health and disease [cid:image002.jpg@01D82D81.2DFC7320] Abhay B. Ramachandra, Ph.D. Postdoctoral Associate, Department of Biomedical Engineering School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Yale University Abstract: Blood vessels are subjected to an altered hemodynamic environment in many surgeries including coronary artery bypass and single ventricle palliation surgeries. Not much is known about the ensuing vascular remodeling, including adaptation versus maladaptation. Models (both computational and animal) hold great promise in probing, understanding and gaining insights into these (mal)adaptations at multiple biological scales. In this talk, with vein graft failure in coronary bypass graft surgery as an example, I will present how computational models have enabled better insights into vascular adaptation and aided translation of novel solutions to prevent graft failure. I will elaborate on the mechanics-based, biology-informed computational models developed to understand (mal)adaptive processes at tissue and cellular scales. I will also discuss utility of this integrative framework in other clinical applications such as virtual surgical planning and arterio-venous fistula failures. Bio: Abhay Ramachandra is a mechanical engineer by training and received his BTech in Mechanical Engineering from the National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal, in India. He received his Masters in Mechanical Engineering from the Carnegie Mellon University, PA and a PhD in Engineering Sciences from the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of California San Diego, CA. Currently, he is a postdoctoral associate in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Yale University, CT. Abhay's research interest is in vascular mechanics and adaptation. He is trained in both computational and experimental biomechanics and has applied his training to multiple problems in vascular adaptation including vein graft failure in coronary artery bypass graft surgery, tissue engineered vascular grafts, systemic hypertension, aortic dissection and various pulmonary pathologies. Abhay is also passionate about translational research. ~BME Faculty Host: Dr. Vitaliy Rayz ~ -- Bmeroundtable-list mailing list Bmeroundtable-list(a)ecn.purdue.edu https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECN/mailman/listinfo/bmeroundtable-list
