| This year’s Keenan International Lecturer will be Dr. Denisa Wagner. Dr. Wagner received her Diploma of Biochemistry from the University of Geneva, Switzerland and PhD in Biology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She served on the faculty at the University of Rochester, NY and Tufts University School of Medicine before coming to Harvard Medical School in 1994. Dr. Wagner is currently the Edwin Cohn Professor of Pediatrics in the Program for Cellular and Molecular Medicine and the Division of Hematology/Oncology at Boston Children’s Hospital. For many years, her laboratory’s research has focused on adhesion molecules, the regulation of their expression, and their function in normal physiology and in pathological situations. They have engineered mice lacking platelet, endothelial, or leukocyte adhesion receptors and studied their phenotypes. One of Dr. Wagner’s main interests is the interplay of inflammation and thrombosis, in particular, the role of platelets and neutrophils. |

Description:
Conventional clinical trials are frequently very expensive, lengthy and rather inflexible in their response to accumulating evidence. In addition, they have a poor track record in making use of previously generated data. This talk will discuss the rationale of Bayesian approaches in clinical trials, give an understanding of the basic principles, and give examples of the possibilities of Bayesian approaches to increase efficiency and flexibility of clinical trials.

| Nanobubbles (NBs) find utility in biomedical applications such as ultrasound imaging and drug delivery. However, current state-of-the-art techniques to generate NBs are unable to generate monodisperse NBs, which limits the efficacy of NBs in applications. Here, Dr. Scott Tsai, iBEST Theme Lead, will describe a microfluidic approach to producing monodisperse nanobubbles. Namely, using a two-component gas mixture of water-soluble nitrogen and water-insoluble octafluoropropane as the gas phase. The work presented in this talk is an example of interdisciplinary collaboration of engineering, science, and medicine enabled by the Institute for Biomedical Engineering, Science and Technology (iBEST). |

Dr. Wagner received her Diploma of Biochemistry from the University of Geneva, Switzerland and PhD in Biology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She served on the faculty at the University of Rochester, NY and Tufts University School of Medicine before coming to Harvard Medical School in 1994. Dr. Wagner is currently the Edwin Cohn Professor of Pediatrics in the Program for Cellular and Molecular Medicine and the Division of Hematology/Oncology at Boston Children’s Hospital. For many years, her laboratory’s research has focused on adhesion molecules, the regulation of their expression, and their function in normal physiology and in pathological situations. They have engineered mice lacking platelet, endothelial, or leukocyte adhesion receptors and studied their phenotypes.

However, current state-of-the-art techniques to generate NBs are unable to generate monodisperse NBs, which limits the efficacy of NBs in applications.

Planning your review before you start will not only speed up the production process; it will improve the quality of your review by assuring that you are attaining the highest level of medical evidence. Planning your Systematic Review will breakdown the planning process into a series of essentials steps. |
