DESCRIPTION:Thomas Lord Department of Mechanical Engineering & Materials S
 cience\, Spring 2025 Seminar Series\, welcomes Wilbur Lam\, Professor at 
 Emory University\, who will give the talk\, "Engineering microsystems to 
 investigate the cellular mechanics of blood in health and disease."\n\nAB
 STRACT: Hematologic processes are frequently comprised of cellular and bi
 omolecular interactions that are biophysical in nature and may involve bl
 ood cells (red blood cells\, white blood cells\, and platelets)\, endothe
 lial cells\, soluble factors (coagulation proteins\, von Willebrand facto
 r\, and cytokines)\, the hemodynamic environment\, or all of the above. T
 hese phenomena are often pathologically altered in hematologic diseases b
 ut are difficult to study using standard in vitro and in vivo systems. Wi
 th the capabilities to dissect cellular and biomolecular phenomena at the
  micro to nanoscales with tight control of the mechanical and fluidic par
 ameters\, micromechanical and microfluidic systems can serve as novel yet
  physiologic in vitro disease models to provide insight into the pathophy
 siology of blood disorders. Due to their inherent portability\, these mic
 rosystems can also be translated into diagnostic tests used at the point-
 of-care or even at home\, where they can be conducted by patients themsel
 ves\, especially if those technologies are coupled to existing consumer-b
 ased devices like smartphones. By developing state-of-the art microdevice
 s to answer hematologic questions that be addressed with standard techniq
 ues\, microsystems engineering has the potential to significantly advance
  our understanding of blood disorders and to develop innovative diagnosti
 c technologies for patients afflicted with those life-threatening disease
 s.\n\nBIO: Wilbur A. Lam\, M.D.\, Ph.D. is a physician-scientist-engineer
  who is the W. Paul Bowers Research Chair and Professor (with tenure) of 
 Pediatrics and Biomedical Engineering at Emory University and Georgia Ins
 titute of Technology and Associate Dean of Innovation at the Emory Univer
 sity School of Medicine as well as a physician at the Aflac Cancer and Bl
 ood Disorders Center of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta\, where he also 
 serves as Chief Innovation Officer of the Pediatric Technology Center. Dr
 . Lam obtained his B.A. from Rice University\, his M.D. from Baylor Colle
 ge of Medicine\, and his bioengineering Ph.D. from the UC-\, Berkeley and
  UC- San Francisco\, where he also completed his clinical training in ped
 iatrics and pediatric hematology/oncology.
