Prospective BME Faculty Seminar, Wed., Jan. 25, 9:30 a.m. in MJIS 1001 and via Zoom. Sunghee (Estelle) Park, PhD Candidate and CEMB Fellow, Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania will present “Engineering Stem Cells and Organoids on a Chip.”

Abstract: Organ development is a complex process that involves highly coordinated, dynamic changes in the structural organization and mechanical environment of developing tissues. Recent advances in our understanding of stem cells have led to the development of human adult stem cell or pluripotent stem cell-derived organoids that follow the developmental trajectories of living human organs in vitro and create multicellular tissue constructs that recapitulate the key structural and functional aspects of human organs with greater biological and cellular complexity. In parallel, organ-on-a-chip technology allows us to engineer human organ-like tissue constructs by enabling precise control over their culture conditions and microenvironment. Inspired by the potential of combining these two approaches, we are interested in creating microfabricated devices and developing stem cell-based tissue engineering approaches to investigate the biochemical and biomechanical cues that are responsible for guiding organoid growth and maturation. I will discuss how we synergistically combine organoids and organ-on-a-chip technology, so called organoids-on-a-chip, to create in vitro replicas of living human organs with unprecedented levels of maturity and complexity. Using these platforms, I will also describe efforts to uncover the critical roles of different biophysical mechanisms in fetal lung development.

Bio: Estelle Park is a PhD candidate in Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania. Her research focuses on using engineered tissues and organoid models to understand how biomechanical and biochemical cues direct stem cell differentiation, maturation, and function during development and disease progression, with a particular emphasis on the lung and intestine. Her research is best known for growing stem cell-derived organoids in physiologically relevant microenvironments through microengineered organ-chip devices to study tissue morphogenesis and identify biomarkers in diseases of the intestine and lung. When she’s not thinking about her research, Estelle enjoys walking her dog, planning her next hike, or trying out new restaurants.

BME PhD Preliminary Exam announcement for Luke Brennan (J. Linnes and N. Rodriguez, co-advisors), Wed., Jan. 25, 11:00 a.m., MJIS 2001 and via Zoom. Title of presentation: HPV Rapid Diagnostic Test Development Through Human-Centered Design. Everyone is invited to attend the public presentation.

Advisory Committee: Jacqueline Linnes Ph.D., Co-Chair; Natalia Rodriguez Ph.D., Co-Chair; Aaron Ermel M.D.; Monica Kasting Ph.D.; Mohit Verma Ph.D.

Abstract: Almost every case of cervical cancer in the United States is medically preventable with proper screening, yet many Americans are insufficiently screened. Over 12 thousand American women suffered from cervical cancer in 2018 causing 4 thousand deaths, with over a third in women who had never received a routine screening test. New, sensitive testing techniques have started to facilitate self-sampling at outpatient clinics and mail-in testing, which ameliorate some barriers to screening. Screening with a rapid diagnostic test (RDT), which can be performed in a variety of settings to deliver results in minutes, could further increasing screening uptake and follow-up care delivery. The goal of this project is to create a sample-to-answer RDT for cervical cancer screening. In the first aim we use interviews and a survey to explore clinician perspectives on current and newly proposed cervical screening methods such as self-sampling, RDTs, and home-based screening. This will result in a user-informed set of technical specifications for device design. The second aim augments a recombinase polymerase assay that isothermally amplifies any of 13 high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) strains with an endogenous b-globin sample control and a simple colorimetric lateral flow assay (LFA) readout. The third aim incorporates this assay onto a paper-based device with a simple resistive heater, lysis buffer, and timers. The resulting test will accept vaginal fluid samples, buffer and lyse the samples, copy any hrHPV DNA present, and report copied DNA through a colorimetric LFA.

Seminars in Hearing Research at Purdue (SHRP), Thurs., Jan. 26, 10:30 a.m., LYLE 1150. Aditi Gargeshwari, PhD Student SLHS, will present “Threshold Determination Using Binaural Simultaneous Multifrequency Auditory Brainstem Evoked Response.” Remote access via Zoom.

Abstract: The auditory brainstem response (ABR) is a gold standard test for objectively estimating hearing thresholds due to its high sensitivity and specificity. The time taken to record frequency-specific ABRs using the conventional single-frequency monaural approach is typically 45-60 minutes. Methods previously used to reduce testing time using increased rate, or chained stimuli have not been popular in clinical settings due to additional hardware and software requirements. We propose a multifrequency chained stimuli approach which presents several stimuli of different frequency to the two ears in an interleaved manner to maximize acquisition efficiency, significantly reduce test time, and minimize response adaptation. This paradigm can be easily generated in most commercial ABR systems currently used in clinics. Our novel method and stimuli together create a recording paradigm that can yield robust and lower binaural ABR thresholds, resulting in a quick and effective clinical tool. This presentation will discuss data recorded from 30 normal hearing young adults will be presented. The ongoing implementation of automatic peak detection will also be discussed during the presentation.

Abstract: Probing and modulating life processes in the native state represents a key capability in our quest for a better understanding of life and a higher quality of life. In this talk, I will present implantable and wearable forms of flexible bioelectronic devices developed through a systems approach combining materials, electronics, and computing that open up new opportunities for fundamental biomedical research in unperturbed, naturally behaving animal models and for continuous, ambulatory monitoring of human health. I will first present a new class of wireless, battery-free, fully implantable devices that offer multimodalities and closed-loop functionalities in neuroscience research and the use of this technology for studying auditory-evoked potentials, sleep-wake regulations, seizure treatment, cardiology, and social interactions. Then I will present the translation of this technology in human healthcare using a wearable mechano-acoustic sensing device deployed to about 500 patients as an example, with an emphasis on data analytics for continuous monitoring of COVID-19 and vocal health. I will conclude by discussing future opportunities of my research in both fundamental and translational biomedicine.

BME PhD defense announcement for Sean M. Rothenberger, Mon., Feb. 6, 3:00 p.m., MJIS 2001 and via Zoom. Title of presentation: Statistical Models of 4D flow MRI Velocity Error using Principles of Fluid Dynamics and Imaging Physics. Everyone is invited to attend the public presentation.

Advisory Committee: Vitaliy L. Rayz, Chair; Pavlos P. Vlachos; Craig J. Goergen; Michael Markl

Abstract: 4D flow magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has emerged as an imaging modality capable of assessing cardiovascular flow non-invasively. Despite interest in using these in vivo measurements for cardiovascular disease diagnostics and progression assessment, there are no adequate models of 4D flow MRI’s measurement error. Error models are essential in evaluating accurate hemodynamic biomarkers and judging the quality of 4D flow MRI scans. Here, we present a comprehensive error model of 4D flow MRI velocity measurements using fluid dynamics and imaging physics principles. 4D flow MRI velocity error is described as a multivariate normal distribution which is a function of space and time. The error distribution’s scale is assessed using the principle of conservation of mass, and error correlations are assessed using the novel standardized difference of means (SDM) velocity metric. We define the SDM velocity as the difference between the local mean velocity and the global background mean velocity relative to the standard error of the local mean velocity. We also demonstrate the SDM velocity’s utility in segmenting vessels in 4D flow MRI measurements. This work also introduces a bias error model, which accounts for insufficient spatial resolution and partial volume effects. These bias error estimates serve as one means of validating our proposed 4D flow MRI error model. All algorithms presented are validated in 4D flow MRI measurements in scaled in vitro cerebral aneurysms and in vivo 4D flow measurements. This work ultimately supports the development of reliable biomarkers indicative of cardiovascular disease progression.

Prospective BME Faculty Seminar, Wed., Feb. 8, 9:30 a.m. in MJIS 1001 and via Zoom. Yiyang Gong, Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Duke University will present “Traditional and computational development of fluorescence imaging tools for neuroscience”

Abstract: Modern basic research in neuroscience aims to dissect neural activity from genetically identifiable neuron populations within dense neural circuits. Such research has relied increasingly on tools that perform optical imaging and optical stimulation. In this area, my lab develops a diverse toolbox that employs multiple engineering disciplines simultaneously. In this talk, I will highlight our recent gains in protein engineering, optical microscopy, and data analysis. The protein tools will attempt to enable multi-channel optical experiments by increasing spectral separation between fluorescent protein sensors and actuators. The microscopy tools will attempt to support fast volumetric imaging experiments that accurately capture neural activity. The data analysis tools will attempt to find neurons and calculate their neural activity from the large datasets resulting from optical imaging experiments quickly and accurately. Lastly, this talk will touch on the future of the protein engineering pipeline seen through the lens of protein tools in neuroscience.

Bio: Yiyang Gong obtained his B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the California Institute of Technology. He then obtained his M.S. and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University, training with Prof. Jelena Vuckovic on plasmonic and photonic crystal optical devices. He trained with Prof. Mark Schnitzer at Stanford University as a postdoc in Biology, developing genetically encoded voltage sensors that are advancing the current generation of neuroscience experiments. His current work focuses on imaging neural activity with a combination of engineered protein sensors, optical microscopes, and computational algorithms. His work has been supported by the Beckman Young Investigator Award, the BRAIN initiative, NIH New Innovator Award, NSF CAREER Award, Sloan Fellowship, and Vallee Young Investigator Award.
