Opportunities to Improve Clinical Outcomes with Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) in Lower Extremity Revascularizations Abstract Peripheral vascular disorders are prevalent and mounting health conditions, particularly in light of the aging population. Both acute and chronic arterial and venous disease result in excess morbidity and mortality and dramatically reduce health-related quality of life. Yet, despite the expanded […]
Technology Transfer and Entrepreneurship at UCI Abstract This seminar will discuss “technology transfer”, the process by which UCI (1) protects intellectual property (inventions and software) developed by its faculty, staff, researchers and grad students; and (2) commercializes this IP through licensing to an existing company or startup. Also discussed will be the services and resources […]
FLIM and Mitometer enable metabolic profiling and tracking phenotypic changes in mitochondria in cancer cells Abstract The hallmark of metabolic alteration of increase glycolysis, i.e. Warburg effect, in cancer cells together with atypical extracellular matrix structure may be responsible for tumor cell aggressiveness and drug resistance. While it is it known that tumor cells stiffen […]
Intervascular Imaging & Treatment Seminar About Dr. Giulio Guagliumi was trained with Master in Interventional Cardiology at the Clinique Pasteur, Toulouse, France. He was awarded at Mayo Clinic and St. Mary Hospital, Rochester in imaging and coronary physiology assessment of vascular response to intracoronary stents. He has a long-standing interventional practice with research expertise in acute myocardial […]
Confocal Microscopy for the Evaluation of OcularSurface Disease Abstract Diagnosis and treatment of ocular surface disease represents a large proportion of the average ophthalmologist’s practice. However, this group of conditions is more heterogeneous and complex than the term “dry eye” conveys. Further investigation of the pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying these conditions are underway, and in […]
Laser Beam Shaping for Surgery and Microbiopsy Abstract Lasers are increasingly being used for surgery in a wide range of medical specialties due to their advantages over alternative surgical tools. Advantages include precise material removal, limited bleeding, and delivery through optical fibers enabling use in body cavities and for minimally invasive surgeries. Advancements in […]
Commercialization and searching for a business model: why is spinning technology out of a lab so challenging? Abstract In this talk, we will explore the four critical challenges of getting technology out of a lab. Dr. Arkilic, Chief Innovation Officer of UCI has spent his entire career in supporting getting technology out of Academic labs. […]
True multi-modality optical molecular imaging – where both modalities interact and work in harmony. Abstract The main goal of the molecular imaging community has been achieving higher resolution and better quantitative accuracy. For nearly two decades, I have been spending effort for the same purpose, mainly integrating optical imaging with anatomic imaging modalities such as […]
A Leadership Toolbox for Operationalizing Innovation at Your Institution Abstract In today’s challenging healthcare environment, the importance of innovation has never been greater. Every healthcare institution anduniversity strive to be innovative, but successful innovative cultures and programs are difficult to create and sustain especially in the busy and fast-paced healthcare settings. Creating an innovative culture […]
Numerical Modeling of Medical Ultrasound Abstract In the last two decades, we have witnessed substantial development in high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for treating a broad spectrum of diseases and medical conditions. As a non invasive surgical modality that can reach deep tissue, HIFU has the potential to revolutionize therapy. Although there are many numerical […]
