The research program aims\nto un derstand mechanisms behind treatment response with an emphasis on\ndigital data capture accompanied by application of AI/analytics. This\ntalk will provide an overview of research paradigms in this emerging\ndomain with a particular emphasis on activities within the Digital\nPillar which houses the Digital Interventions & Intelligence Group\n(DiiG)\n DTSTAMP:20250517T214917Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:6829045d49092 DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20240925T133000 SEQUENCE:0 TRANSP:TRANSPARENT DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20240925T143000 URL:/bioengineering-biotechnology/events/bone-matrix-qu ality-aging-and-diabetes SUMMARY:Bone Matrix Quality in Aging and Diabetes CLASS:PUBLIC DESCRIPTION:Summary \n\nDr. Nyman will describe different matrix-sensitive laboratory\ntechniques and how they relate to the fracture resistance of b one.\n DTSTAMP:20250517T214917Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:6829045d49617 DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20240724T150000 SEQUENCE:0 TRANSP:TRANSPARENT DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20240724T160000 URL:/bioengineering-biotechnology/events/biomedical-eng ineering-and-technology-research-day-keynote SUMMARY:Biomedical Engineering and Technology Research Day Keynote Address\ nwith Kathryn Grandfield CLASS:PUBLIC DESCRIPTION:Summary \n\nUncovering the mechanisms of biomaterial-bone attac hment is\ncomplicated by the complex and three-dimensional hierarchical\ns tructure of human bone. Our work explores the structure and formation\nof bone and its attachment to biomaterials with advanced microscopy\napproach es. This talk will introduce a range of correlative\, 3D\, and\nreal-time high-resolution approaches to probe both biomineralization\nand osseointeg ration including electron tomography\, focused ion beam\nmicroscopy\, _in situ_ liquid phase TEM\, and atom probe tomography.\nThese correlative mic roscopies provide a foundation for understanding\nthe structure and chemic al nature of inorganic and organic\nbiomaterials\, including shedding ligh t on the titanium-bone interface\,\ncollagen-mineral arrangement\, new app roaches for visualizing osteocyte\nnetworks\, and mineralization events in liquids. These platforms for\ncharacterization have broad applications ac ross the field of\nbiomedical engineering.\n DTSTAMP:20250517T214917Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:6829045d49b2f DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20240724T120000 SEQUENCE:0 TRANSP:TRANSPARENT DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20240724T163000 URL:/bioengineering-biotechnology/events/biomedical-eng ineering-and-technology-research-day SUMMARY:Biomedical Engineering and Technology Research Day CLASS:PUBLIC DESCRIPTION:Summary \n\nThe day will include a poster symposium\, keynotes speaker\, provided\nlunch and prizes for our top contestants. The Biomedic al Engineering\nand Technology Research Day is an excellent opportunity fo r students\,\nfaculty\, and industry professionals to engage in insightful \ndiscussions\, share knowledge\, and explore cutting-edge developments in \nbiomedical engineering.\n DTSTAMP:20250517T214917Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:6829045d4a38e DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20240626T121000 SEQUENCE:0 TRANSP:TRANSPARENT DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20240626T130000 URL:/bioengineering-biotechnology/events/profs-presents -understanding-individual-healthcare-seeking SUMMARY:Profs Presents - Understanding the Individual Healthcare Seeking\nJ ourney: Insights for Healthcare Providers CLASS:PUBLIC DESCRIPTION:Summary \n\nIn this talk\, the speaker will share insights garn ered from research\nconducted in TB-high burden countries\, shedding light on the\nindividual healthcare seeking journey and its implications for\nh ealthcare providers across diverse settings.
