BME-SIG Lecture: Navigating Academia to Biotech CEO
Dr. Laura Niklason is an Anesthesiologist, critical care physician, and a biomedical engineer. Supported by the NIH Medical Scientist Training Program from 1983 – 1988, she obtained her PhD in Biophysics in 1988 and then her MD in 1991. After completing clinical training, she became involved in the nascent field of tissue engineering/regenerative medicine in the mid-1990 ’ s. Niklason was fortunate to gain support for her research from the NIH, as well as several private foundations and the Defense Department, spanning from 1995 through 2022. Niklason ’ s work constantly sought to fuse concepts in physical sciences a...

Rethinking General Anesthesia
WALS Stetten Lecture We have established a systems neuroscience (conceptual, experimental, data analysis and modeling) paradigm for studying the mechanisms of general anesthesia-induced loss of consciousness. Through this work my research group has established specific neurophysiological mechanisms for general-anesthesia-induced unconsciousness in humans, non-human primates and rodents, and approaches to precisely control the anesthetic state. We are studying arousal states in general anesthesia and sedation which involves developing a detailed understanding of the neural circuitry of the brainstem, thalamus, and cortex. W...
