Bioelectronics: Senior Faculty Panel
Bioelectronics is a rapidly growing field that develops electronic systems to intelligently interact with biological tissue for applications spanning healthcare, lifestyle, and education. In this virtual conference you will learn fundamental principles of bioelectronic systems and hear from world experts about how to build a successful career in this emerging research field.
As part of the IEEE Brain Virtual Conference that occurred in November 2019, the Senior Faculty Panel is an interactive question and answer session focusing on building and maintaining leading research groups and working with industry. It is now available on-demand.
Access is free to members of the IEEE Brain Community.
After completing your purchase, you will receive an email with instructions for accessing the content.
Panelists
Bianxiao Cui
Bianxiao Cui is a professor of Chemistry and a fellow of the Wu Tsai Stanford Neuroscience Institute at Stanford University. She holds a Ph.D. degree from the University of Chicago and a BS degree from University of Science and Technology of China. She worked as a postdoctoral scholar with Prof. Steven Chu before joining the faculty of Stanford University, Department of Chemistry. Her main area of interest is to understand how cells and tissues interact with nanoscale topographic features of material surfaces. She also develops nanoscale tools to study electrophysiology and signal transduction in neurons at normal conditions and in neurodegenerative diseases. Her awards and distinctions include Barany Award from Biophysical Society, NIH New Innovator Award, NSF CAREER award, NSF Inspire award, Packard Fellowships in Science and Engineering, Hellman Scholar, Searle Scholar.
Kip Ludwig
Dr. Kip Ludwig’s Laboratory at the University of Wisconsin focuses on developing next-generation neuromodulation therapies that use minimally invasive strategies to ‘wiretap’ the nervous system to treat circuit dysfunction and deliver biomolecules to target areas with unprecedented precision. Dr. Ludwig previously served as the Program Director for Neuroengineering at the National Institutes of Health. He co-led the Translational Devices Program at NINDS and led the NIH BRAIN Initiative programs to catalyze implantable academic and clinical devices to stimulate and/or record from the central nervous system. He also developed the NIH/Industry Neurotechnology Public/Private Partnership Program. Dr Ludwig was an NINDS liaison to the FDA, including the FDA’s Stimulation Safety and Early Feasibility Studies Working Groups.
Dr. Ludwig also worked in Industry as a scientist, where he conceived, developed and demonstrated the chronic efficacy of a next-generation neural stimulation electrode for reducing blood pressure in both pre-clinical studies and clinical trials. Through his industry work he oversaw Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and non-GLP studies enabling clinical trials in Europe and the United States, as well as participated in the development and execution of those trials, leading to approval for sale in twenty countries and a successful U.S. Pivotal trial.
Dr. Ludwig connects his research to industry through multiple consulting and advisory roles. He is the Chair of the NeuroOne Scientific Advisory Board, is a member of the Scientific Advisory Board for Battelle, Blackfynn, Cala Health and the National Center for Adaptive Neurotechnologies, and is a co-founder of Neuronoff, Inc.
John Rogers
John A. Rogers is the Louis Simpson and Kimberly Querrey Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, Biomedical Engineering and Medicine at Northwestern University, with affiliate appointments in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering and Chemistry, where he is also Director of the recently endowed Center for Bio-Integrated Electronics. He has published more than 700 papers, is a co-inventor on more than 100 patents and he has co-founded several successful technology companies. His research has been recognized by many awards, including a MacArthur Fellowship (2009), the Lemelson-MIT Prize (2011), the Smithsonian Award for American Ingenuity in the Physical Sciences (2013) and most recently the MRS Medal (2018) and the Benjamin Franklin Medal from the Franklin Institute (2019). He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Inventors and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
