California Institute of Technology recently issued the following announcement.
Azita Emami - Tiny Chips for Brain-Body-Machine Interfaces
Wednesday, April 3, 2019
8:00pm to 9:30pm
Beckman Auditorium
Microscale implantable and wearable devices will one day transform the field of medicine. They enable continuous monitoring and closed-loop therapeutic systems that can help millions of patients suffering from chronic diseases such as diabetes and epilepsy. Current solutions are bulky, inefficient, hard to track, and do not last very long inside the body. Azita Emami will discuss how to solve these problems and build microchips that can continuously and wirelessly monitor key biomarkers such as glucose. She will also present efficient personalized devices for future brain-machine interfaces.
This event is free; no tickets or reservations are required. A minimum of 700 seats will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, beginning at 7:30 p.m. Reserved section tickets are available to members of The Friends of Beckman Auditorium and the Caltech Associates, and to Caltech alumni.
