SUMMARY:BE Seminar: Are these problems or are these opportunities?
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr. Anuradha Chandramohan\nCMC\, Vellore \nDate: 16th June\nTime: 11.00 AM\nVenue: GF – 12\, TCS Smart X Building \nTitle: Are these problems or are these opportunities? \nAbstract: Imaging plays a critical role in diagnosing diseases\, mapping their extent for therapeutic decision-making\, assessing treatment response\, and prognostication. Beyond these core functions\, there is growing interest in opportunistic screening to identify life-threatening cardiovascular events and reduce mortality. In this presentation\, she would like to focus on the following aspects of onco-imaging: predicting response to treatment\, prognostic imaging biomarkers\, the need for improving our understanding of the connection between lymph nodes and cancers\, and the scope of opportunistic screening for patients with treatable cancer and cancer survivors. Lastly\, she would like to touch upon the opportunities and worries of integrating language models into research and routine clinical care. She sees all these as both problem areas and immense opportunities for us to collaborate and find solutions together.\nAbout The Speaker: Dr. Anuradha Chandramohan is a Professor of Radiology and the Clinical Lead of Abdominal Imaging at Christian Medical College Vellore. She specialises in onco-imaging with a keen research focus on colorectal cancer\, peritoneal malignancy\, and gynaecological oncology. Having trained at top cancer centres in the UK and USA\, she is well-published\, has lectured at major conferences\, has held academic portfolios at the state and National Radiology Societies\, and is currently the Associate Editor of the Indian Journal and Radiology and Imaging and Journal of Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Radiology. She was a faculty member at international conferences such as the European Society of Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Radiology (ESGAR) annual conference and the Asia Oceanian Congress of Radiology this year. In the latter\, she delivered the India-Japan joint symposium on the contributions of imaging in peritoneal surface malignancies. Her contributions extend to developing quality indicators for onco-imaging with the National Cancer Grid\, India\, and enhancing synoptic reporting for abdominal and pelvic cancers through the NCG-Koita Centre of Digital Oncology. Guided by her core values of excellence\, love\, live\, and give\, she is committed to making radiology education\, research\, and practice in India more patient-centric\, accessible\, and cost-effective.

SUMMARY:BE Seminar by Dr. Abhishek Jain: Convergence Engineering: Vascular & Cancer Medicine with Organ-Chips on Earth and Space
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr. Abhishek Jain\nDepartment of Biomedical Engineering\nCollege of Engineering\nDepartment of Medical Physiology\nSchool of Medicine\nTexas A&M University. \nTitle: Convergence Engineering: Vascular & Cancer Medicine with Organ-Chips on Earth and Space\nAbstract: The perpetual rise in cost of healthcare is one of the biggest socioeconomic problems of our globe. Part of the challenge is that productivity of drug companies is declining\, and relatively fewer drugs are reaching market. This is partly so because drug discovery largely rests on the results from animal studies\, which can turn into negative outcomes in human clinical trials. The Jain lab creates microphysiological systems and convergent technologies that predict human physiology and complement in vivo studies. By establishing and leveraging extensive collaborations across academia\, medical centers\, and space industry\, they have made contributions in advancing the fundamental knowledge and drug discovery of ageing\, thrombosis\, ovarian cancer\, and lymphedema. Here\, a few examples of their approach will be presented.\nDr. Abhishek Jain is an Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering and holds the Barbara and Ralph Cox’53 faculty fellow position at Texas A&M University. He is a founder of several next generation organ-on-chips and companion technologies of complex transport systems and AI-based analytics. His lab particularly specializes in engineering and commercializing patient-specific organ-chip platforms of cardiovascular and cancer medicine. They are recognized as leaders of integrating blood and lymphatic microcirculation in engineered cell systems.
