SUMMARY:Breakfast & Science Seminar 37
DESCRIPTION:														\nDate and time: Tuesday, September 26th, 2023 – 9:30 to 11:00 CET\nLocation:  Virtual on Zoom and on-site CIBM Seminar Room, EPFL campus, 1015 Lausanne.\nProgram\n09:30 – 10:00  In Silico Modelling – an Important Pillar for Medical Innovations\n\n \nAntonino M. Cassarà, \nProject Leader, Neurostimulation. Foundation for Research on Information Technologies in Society, ETH Zurich\nAbstract\nThe development of novel medical technologies and therapies to treat conditions or to restore lost physiological functionalities is a slow and expensive process that requires considerable scientific and technological effort. In silico methodologies – i.e., computational modeling to elucidate, investigate, and predict the interaction between medical devices and the human body for targeted device design, treatment optimization and personalization, and safety and efficacy assessments – can substantially reduce this burden.\nIn the seminar, I will discuss how in silico investigations have accelerated the journey of several medical innovations from concept to market in the context of bioelectronic medicine, non-invasive brain stimulation, and MRI safety. The topics of regulatory-graded modeling, in silico trials, translational studies, and precision medicine will be discussed and challenges identified.\nAbout the Speaker\nDr. Antonino M. Cassarà earned his bachelor’s degree in physics from the Università degli Studi di Catania, Italy in 2004 and his PhD in physics at the Università di Roma ‘La Sapienza’, Italy, in 2008. He joined the IT’IS Foundation in May 2014 as a postdoctoral fellow to work on projects related to the MRI-conditional safety of medical implants. Since 2017, he is IT’IS project leader for neurostimulation. His main research activities include investigations related to the prediction of safety and performance of neural interfaces for bioelectronic medicine and brain stimulation, as well as personalization and optimization of brain stimulation.\nAntonino has served as a scientific reviewer for several peer-review scientific journals, as well as national funding agencies. He recently became a certified expert in regulatory, quality, and clinical affairs related to medical devices. He contributes to the development of multiple platforms for computational life sciences, including Sim4Life (ZMT Zurich Med Tech AG, Zurich, Switzerland) and the U.S. National Institutes of Health-funded o2S2PARC platform for collaborative computational neurosciences.\n\n10:00-10:30  Assessing the Predictive Capacity of Diffusion MRI Tractography for White Matter Structural Connectivity  Estimation\n\n \nGabriel Girard,\nStaff Scientist Department of Computer Science, Université de Sherbrooke, Canada.\nAbstract\nTba\nAbout the Speaker\nGabriel Girard is a staff scientist at Sherbrooke University in Canada. His primary research focus centers around white matter reconstruction using diffusion MRI data. Gabriel obtained a double PhD in computer science from both Sherbrooke University in Canada and the University of Nice Sophia Antipolis in France. His doctoral research was conducted under the direction of Prof. Maxime Descoteaux, Prof. Kevin Whittingstall, and Prof. Rachid Deriche. In 2016, Gabriel started a postdoc at EPFL, where he worked with Prof. Jean-Philippe Thiran as a recipient of the Marie Sklodowska-Curie EPFL Fellowship. Subsequently, he became part of the research community at CIBM CHUV-EPFL, as a research staff scientist until 2022. \n\n10:45-11:00  CIBM news and networking  \nSeminar Chairs\n\nDaniel Wenz,\nResearch Staff Scientist, CIBM MRI EPFL Animal Imaging and Technology Section\nClick here to learn about Daniel ( https://cibm.ch/community/daniel-wenz/ )\n\nElda Fischi Gomez,\nResearch Staff Scientist, CIBM SP CHUV-EPFL Computational Medical Imaging & Machine Learning Section\nClick here to learn about Elda ( https://cibm.ch/community/elda-fischi-gomez/ )\nPlease register by Monday September 25, 2023, 12:00 pm\nTo join us on Zoom, please register at the following link:https://epfl.zoom.us/meeting/register/u5YrdOqsqzspE9GVL3C1vLDuWfU86GLAR7EH\nTo attend on-site, please register on Eventbrite: https://breakfast-science-seminar-37.eventbrite.ca\nAfter registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.\nWe look forward to seeing you soon.\n												\n
