Dr. Nyman will describe different matrix-sensitive laboratory techniques and how they relate to the fracture resistance of bone.
Uncovering the mechanisms of biomaterial-bone attachment is complicated by the complex and three-dimensional hierarchical structure of human bone. Our work explores the structure and formation of bone and its attachment to biomaterials with advanced microscopy approaches. This talk will introduce a range of correlative, 3D, and real-time high-resolution approaches to probe both biomineralization and osseointegration including electron tomography, focused ion beam microscopy, in situ liquid phase TEM, and atom probe tomography. These correlative microscopies provide a foundation for understanding the structure and chemical nature of inorganic and organic biomaterials, including shedding light on the titanium-bone interface, collagen-mineral arrangement, new approaches for visualizing osteocyte networks, and mineralization events in liquids. These platforms for characterization have broad applications across the field of biomedical engineering.
The day will include a poster symposium, keynotes speaker, provided lunch and prizes for our top contestants. The Biomedical Engineering and Technology Research Day is an excellent opportunity for students, faculty, and industry professionals to engage in insightful discussions, share knowledge, and explore cutting-edge developments in biomedical engineering.

The second opportunity for Engagement Sessions will occur in November 2024. Sessions are intended to provide face-to-face interactions with relevant Clinical Council members to discuss current or future project ideas, and develop potential partnerships, collaborations, and receive expert clinical perspectives and feedback.Ìý​​​​Priority for this round of talks will be given to research applicants whose research areas align with the Clinical Problem Space Talks.
This event will occur in October and feature a blend of health care professionals giving invited talks on prominent and urgent health care problems they see in their own contexts and professional settings along with opportunities for students to showcase their current work.
The first opportunity for Engagement Sessions will occur in May/June 2024. Sessions are intended to provide face-to-face interactions with relevant Clinical Council members to discuss current or future project ideas, and develop potential partnerships, collaborations, and receive expert clinical perspectives and feedback. Researchers will need to apply to participate in this event.
Join us for our Clinical Council launch event on March 27, 2024 from 6:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. to learn who is on the inaugural Clinical Council, hear their perspectives on future opportunities for improving the healthcare system, learn about the application process for dedicated time to engage with clinicians, and additional opportunities to interact with the Clinical Council.
Registration is limited, so please apply early. If you are unable to attend, information about the Clinical Council and additional opportunities to engage with the Clinical Council can be found on our website.Ìý
You are invited to the Graham Seed Fund Launch Event on Monday, October 31 at 12:00 p.m. ET, presented by Transformative Health Technologies.
