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...

IIG: The diversity of neutrophils
Dr. Hidalgo is interested in the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which innate immune cells and their hematopoietic precursors contribute to organismal physiology and pathology. As a postdoctoral trainee he developed and used live imaging modalities to study acute inflammatory disease and discovered the receptors that mediate early neutrophil recruitment, and the signals that cause acute vascular injury. As an independent researcher at CNIC (Spain), his laboratory further developed tools to study thrombo-inflammation and the dramatic consequences in several organs, including the lung, brain and heart. The Hidalgo lab d...

2022 Stephen E. Straus Lecture: From the Mouths of Babes: What Can Research on Babies, Moms, Stress, and Substance Use Tell Us About Resilience?
Stress and adversity experienced during early development can exert a profound and persistent imprint on our physiology, brain, and health across the lifespan. This imprint can lead to long-term health outcomes ranging from substance use and depression to obesity and cardiovascular disease. There is also emerging evidence that stress and adversity may be transmitted from one generation to the next. However, protective experiences may prevent or mitigate these effects.
This lecture will provide examples of findings from Dr. Laura Stroud ’ s laboratory focused on revealing the earliest intergenerational transmission of mat...
