Congrats to Sergio @sergio_jimz and the UEIL BBB team on their paper, “Feasibility of Hologram-Assisted Bilateral Blood-Brain Barrier Opening in Non-Human Primates” being selected as Front Cover of IEEE-TUFFC! ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10654…
Congrats to our very own @AlecBatts for winning the IUS Group 1 Student Poster Competition Award! We are so proud of you, job well done! 🧠🎉🙌 #UFFCJS2024
Fantastic plenary talk on Brain Therapy with Focused Ultrasound given by Prof Elisa Konofagou at this year’s IEEE UFFC 2024 conference in Taipei #UFFCJS2024 #IEEE @ColumbiaUEIL @FUSFoundation @ieee_uffc_js @IEEE_UFFC_Soc
Delicious hotpot in Taipei with @ColumbiaUEIL, Antonios Pouliopoulos and Sua Bae 😊 #ISTU2024 #FocusedUltrasound
Join us in congratulating our very own, Dr. Elisa Konofagou, for receiving the Focused Ultrasound Foundation Visionary Award at #ISTU2024 ! 🎉🙌👏 @FUSFoundation
We have 7 presentations on the final day (Thursday September 26th) of the #UFFCJS2024 ! Catch a wide variety of talks, focused on topics related to cardiac imaging, non-invasive drug delivery, inverse-problem approaches, and at-home applications of pulse wave imaging (PWI)!
On Monday Sept 23rd, Dr. Konofagou will kick things off with a plenary talk on ultrasound and the applications in the brain! @AlecBatts will also showcase his work in the Student Award Competition! #UFFCJS2024 👏
Congrats to Dr. Alec Batts for successfully defending his thesis, “Development and optimization of image-guided transcranial gene delivery to the brain with focused and theranostic ultrasound”! Absolutely splendid work, we are so proud you! @AlecBatts 🦇🧠🎉🎊
Big news! Sua will be joining the faculty in the Department of Electronic Engineering at Sogang University in Seoul, Korea where she will continuing her research in ultrasound imaging and therapy! We can’t wait to see all the great things she’ll accomplish! Congrats @sua_b14 !
Congrats to @sua_b14 and UEIL-BBB team for their recent publication, “Transcranial blood-brain barrier opening in Alzheimer's disease patients using a portable focused ultrasound system with real-time 2-D cavitation mapping" ! thno.org/v14p4519.htm
I am extremely honoured to receive the @AIUMultrasound New Investigator Award at #Ultracon2023 for our work on "Electromechanical Wave Imaging for mitral valve disease characterization in the clinic" with @AlexandraChann2 at @ColumbiaUEIL @ColumbiaBME !!
Excited to share our latest paper evaluating multi-target AAV delivery efficacy and safety using ultra-short pulses for blood-brain barrier opening and monitoring, all within a single diagnostic ultrasound transducer. Out now in Theranostics! @THNOdotORG thno.org/v13p1180.htm
Excited to share our new CRISPR work. Here we demonstrate the feasibility of using FUS for effective brain gene editing through iv: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Thanks @RealRobinJi, folks in @theleonglab, @ColumbiaUEIL, Tomer Lab @Columbia_Bio, Murray Lab @jacksonlab& @somaticediting
Had a wonderful first #ACNP2022 experience presenting alongside and learning from @lukesjulson, @mikelides, and Adriana Galvan. I was thrilled to share some new innovations in focused ultrasound technology with the neuropsychopharmacology community!
Interested in clinical applications of chemogenetics? This afternoon I'm co-chairing a panel with Eric Hollander: @AlecBatts @ColumbiaUEIL on ultrasound AAV delivery, @mikelides and myself on chemogenetics for addiction, and Adriana Galvan on primate chemogenetics! #ACNP2022
A rewarding #ISTU2022 to say the least. Happy to spend my first in-person conference in 3 years with my @ColumbiaUEIL labmates, and to catch up with my former mentors @PriceLabUVaBME @ndsheybani. Excited for the next one!
I always tell people that @ISTUorg meetings are like one big family reunion and #ISTU2022 was a marvelous one. Great to reconnect with old friends & share in the exciting advancements being made in our field! Special thanks to @acousticsorg for the Early Career Travel Award!
Led by @ndsheybani and @TIU_Aly, we show that myeloreductive chemo with #focusedultrasound controls #breastcancer immunologically. #clinicaltrial pending. @jitcancer @FUSFoundation @UVABME @UVAEngineers @CancerResearch jitc.bmj.com/content/8/2/e0…
Excited to share that our newest paper investigating the impact of #focusedultrasound on glioma-derived extracellular vesicles is out now in Theranostics @THNOdotORG! Very proud of the work that we did with my former undergrad mentee @AlecBatts, now a PhD student @ColumbiaUEIL!
