DESCRIPTION:Title: Democratizing single molecule nanoarrays\nby Ashwin Gopinath (Assist
ant Professor\, Mechanical Engineering (MechE)) as part of SENSE.nano Symp
osium from MIT.nano\n\n\nAbstract\nArrays of individual molecules or nanop
articles can combine the advantage of microarrays and single-molecule expe
riments. They facilitate miniaturized high-throughput assays with low samp
le and reagent consumption while also revealing heterogeniety hidden in en
semble measurements. However\, creating single molecule arrays are particu
larly difficult since conventional nano-fabrication techniques can't be us
ed to organize individual molecules onto defined positions on a substrate.
In this context 'DNA origami placement' is an appealing technique as it a
llows any molecule (or nanoparticle) that can be labeled with DNA to be or
ganized on arbitrary substrates using standard lithographic processes. The
challenge now becomes one of reducing cost\, developing applications\, an
d increasing the capabilities.\n\nIn this talk\, Gopinath will introduce a
bench-top technique to create cm-scale DNA origami nanoarrays that does n
ot require any nanopatterning step\, at a cost of $1 per cm2 and Gopinath
will also discuss the application of this technique for point-of-care diag
nostics. Finally\, Gopinath will end by introducing strategies for perform
ing non-aqueous organic reaction on immobilized DNA origami for creating a
rrays of extremely hydrophobic molecules.\n

\n\nAbstract\nQuantitative interferometric microscopy is a power non-invas
ive technique to extract quantitative cellular biomechanical and morpholog
ical information. On one hand\, So will describe several generations of qu
antitative interferometric microscopic systems with improved spectral cont
rast\, depth resolution\, and enhanced sensitivity. In conjunction with th
ese advances in optical imaging techniques\, important biomedical applicat
ions have become possible including the identification of biophysical mark
ers of sickle red blood cells and the study of cancer cell nuclear mechani

DESCRIPTION:Title: Dynamic lens systems for biosensing\nby Tim Swager (John D. McArthur
Professor\, Chemistry) as part of SENSE.nano Symposium from MIT.nano\n\n\
nAbstract\nThis talk will focus on the design of systems wherein reconfigu
ration of complex liquid emulsions (droplets) can be triggered chemically
or biochemically. The utility of these methods is to generate new transduc
tion mechanisms by which chemical and biological sensors can be developed.
Complex liquid droplets behave as optical lens systems and small changes
in surface tensions can change focal lengths or cause systems to switch be
tween optically transmissive or scattering states. Central to this scheme
is that the fluids in the droplets have different densities and hence are
aligned by the earth’s gravity. The induced optical changes can be trigg
ered with chemical\, photochemical\, or biochemical stimuli and thereby cr
eate new generations of sensors. Demonstrations of these methods for the d
etection of proteins\, antibodies\, and pathogens will be presented.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Modulation of neural function with electronic\, optical\, and magnetic t
ools\nby Polina Anikeeva (Associate Professor in Materials Science
& Engineering (DMSE) and Brain & Cognitive Sciences (BCS)\; Associate Dire
ctor\, Research Laboratory of Electronics (RLE)) as part of SENSE.nano Sym
posium from MIT.nano\n\n\nAbstract\nTo understand the function and dynamic
s of the nervous system and to find treatments for the neurological and ps
ychiatric conditions that increasingly affect our aging society\, new tool
s capable of addressing neuronal signaling complexity are urgently needed.
These tools must also match the mechanical and chemical properties of the
neural tissue to avoid foreign body response and functional perturbation
to local circuits. By leveraging fiber-drawing methods from the telecommun
ications industry\, our group creates flexible and stretchable probes capa
ble of recording and stimulation of neural activity as well as delivery of
drugs and genes into the brain and spinal cord. We use these probes to in
terrogate brain circuits\, such as those involved in anxiety and fear\, an
d to promote recovery following spinal cord and nerve injury. Simultaneosl
y\, we develop a broad range of magnetic nanotransducers that convert exte
rnally applied magnetic fields into thermal\, chemical\, and mechanical si
gnals\, which can then be perceived by ion channels on neurons. Since biol
ogical tissues exhibit negligible magnetic permeability and low conductivi
ty\, magnetic fields can penetrate deep into the body with no attenuation
allowing us to apply the nanomagnetic transducers to remotely control deep
brain circuits associated with reward and motivation as well as adrenal c
ircuits involved in regulation of corticosterone and (nor)epinephrine rele
ase.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Non-contact laser ultrasound\nby Xiang (Shawn) Zhang (Postdoctoral A
ssociate\, Mechanical Engineering (MechE)) as part of SENSE.nano Symposium
from MIT.nano\n\n\nAbstract\nFull non-contact laser ultrasound (LUS) imag
ing has several distinct advantages over current medical ultrasound (US) t
echnologies: elimination of coupling mediums (gel/water)\, operator-indepe
ndent image quality\, improved repeatability\, and volumetric imaging. Cur
rent light-based ultrasound utilizing tissue penetrating photoacoustics (P
A) generally uses traditional piezoelectric transducers in contact with th
e imaged tissue or carries an optical fiber detector close to the imaging
site. Unlike PA\, LUS minimizes optical penetration and specifically restr
icts optical to acoustic energy transduction at the tissue surface\, maxim
izing the generated acoustic source amplitude. LUS operates analogous to c
onventional ultrasound by using light to replace piezoelectric elements. E
xperimental LUS images at ~5 cm image depths with meter scale standoff suc
cessfully demonstrates the feasibility of LUS for human imaging at eye and
skin safe optical exposure levels. First human LUS images inspire further
LUS development and is a significant step toward clinical implementation
of LUS.\n

as relegated this extremely-safe and remarkably-revealing clinical tool to
high-end hospital care. Recently-developed low-field MR imagers (0.05 to

DESCRIPTION:Title: Rapid antigen diagnostics for emerging pathogens\nby Lee Gehrke (Her

tute for Medical Engineering & Science (IMES)) as part of SENSE.nano Sympo
sium from MIT.nano\n\n\nAbstract\nA large number of animal species are hos
ts to viruses in geographic areas that have historically been separated fr
om humans. With climate change\, deforestation\, and increased urbanizatio
n\, what was once rare human contact with these pathogens is increasing\,
leading to spillover events that cause emerging virus infections. Rapid di
agnostic tests are needed for population surveillance to identify circulat
ing pathogens\, as well as to serve health care workers in detecting and d
istinguishing pathogens for optimal patient care. The goal of our work is
to develop low cost tests that are simple to use\, do not require power\,
and do not require special chemicals. In COVID19 disease\, the absence of
a vaccine means that active vigilance\, accomplished by regular testing (e
very 2-3 days) is required to prevent superspreader transmission. This reg
ular testing requires an inexpensive test that can be used as a point-of-c
are diagnostic. We are actively pursuing technologies to reduce the cost o
f developing rapid antigen tests\, permitting advance diagnostics developm
ent that precedes outbreaks and epidemics.\n

as part of SENSE.nano Symposium from MIT.nano\n\n\nAbstract\nThe rapid adv
ancement of electronic devices and fabrication technologies has further pr
omoted the field of wearables and smart textiles. However\, most of the cu
rrent efforts in textile electronics focus on a single modality and cover
a small area. In this work\, we introduce a new platform of modular\, conf
ormable (i.e.\, flexible and stretchable) distributed sensor networks that
can be embedded into digitally-knit textiles. This platform can be custom
ized for various forms\, sizes\, and functions using standard\, accessible
\, and high-throughput textile manufacturing and garment patterning techni
ques. Here\, we have developed a tailored\, electronic textile conformable
suit (E-TeCS) to perform large-scale\, multi-modal physiological (tempera
ture\, heart rate\, and respiration) sensing in vivo.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: MR relaxometer for improving clinical outcomes in hemodialysis\nby
Michael Cima (David H. Koch Professor of Engineering\, Materials Science &
Engineering (DMSE)\; Associate Dean of Innovation for the School of Engin
eering) as part of SENSE.nano Symposium from MIT.nano\n\n\nAbstract\nWe re
cently discovered in a human clinical trial that the MR signal originating
from skeletal muscle is an absolute measure of excess volume in end-stage
renal disease (ESRD) patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). HD patients a
re prescribed a volume of fluid to be removed by ultrafiltration during th
eir dialysis session based on an assumed “dry weight.” Current real-ti
me assessment measures include hematocrit with the objective of keeping it
constant. The vascular volume is maintained during dialysis using this te
chnology. Hematocrit does not\, however\, provide a measure of how close t
he patient is to his/her dry weight.\n\nClinical signs and symptoms are us
ed to identify hypovolemia due to excessive fluid withdrawal. These non-sp
ecific indicators often lag behind the onset of hypovolemia and their pres
entation is highly variable between patients. Excessive fluid removal duri
ng HD is associated with nausea\, vomiting\, cramping\, and chest pain. We
have constructed a sensor that will measure the tissue relaxivity of musc
le without the need for an MRI. This bedside instrument is portable and co
mpatible with the dialysis suite. Our goal is to improve management of ESR
D patient during HD and ultimately improve outcomes.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: A framework for biomarkers of COVID-19 based on neuromotor coordination
in speech\nby Thomas Quatieri (Senior Staff\, Human Health and Perfor
mance Systems Group\, Lincoln Laboratory) as part of SENSE.nano Symposium
from MIT.nano\n\n\nAbstract\nA framework is proposed to detect and track C
OVID-19 based on changes in neuromotor coordination across speech subsyste
ms involved in respiration\, phonation and articulation. The approach is m
otivated by evidence of widespread inflammation of COVID-19 throughout the
body including lower (i.e.\, bronchial tubes\, diaphragm\, lower trachea)
and upper (i.e.\, laryngeal\, pharyngeal\, oral and nasal) tract injury\,
as well as by the growing evidence of the virus’ neurological impact. A
n exploratory study is described involving a small set of pre-COVID-19 (pr
e-exposure) versus post-COVID-19 (after positive diagnosis but presumed as
ymptomatic) audio interviews and a larger cohort of control versus post-CO
VID-19 participants in an online protocol designed by Voca.ai in collabora
tion with Carnegie Melon University.\n\nFor each cohort pair\, Cohen’s d
effect sizes were measured using coordination of respiration (as measured
through the acoustic speech envelope) and laryngeal motion (fundamental f
requency and cepstral peak prominence)\, and coordination of laryngeal and
articulatory (formant center frequencies) motion. While there is a strong
subject-dependence\, group-level morphology of effect sizes indicates a r
educed complexity of subsystem coordination. For the later (larger) cohort
\, an encouraging detection/false alarm tradeoff was estimated using a Gau
ssian mixture-based classifier. Validation is needed with larger more cont
rolled datasets and addressing confounding influences such as different re
cording conditions\, unbalanced data quantities\, and changes in underlyin
g vocal status from pre-to-post time recordings including changes in emoti
onal state.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Fighting COVID-19 misinformation on social media\nby Dave Rand (Erw
in H. Schell Professor of Management Science and Brain & Cognitive Science
s\, MIT Sloan) as part of SENSE.nano Symposium from MIT.nano\n\n\nAbstract
\nThe COVID-19 pandemic represents a substantial challenge to global human
well-being. Not unlike other challenges (e.g.\, global warming)\, the imp
act of the COVID-19 pandemic depends on the actions of individual citizens
and\, therefore\, the quality of the information to which people are expo
sed. Unfortunately\, however\, misinformation about COVID-19 has prolifera
ted\, including on social media.\n\nIn this talk\, Rand will present evide
nce that people share false claims about COVID-19 partly because they simp
ly fail to think sufficiently about whether or not the content is accurate
when deciding what to share. In a first study\, participants were far wor
se at discerning between true and false content when deciding what they wo
uld share on social media relative to when they were asked directly about
accuracy. Furthermore\, greater cognitive reflection and science knowledge
were associated with stronger discernment.\n\nIn a second study\, we foun
d that a simple accuracy reminder at the beginning of the study (i.e.\, ju
dging the accuracy of a non-COVID-19-related headline) nearly tripled the
level of truth discernment in participants’ subsequent sharing intention
s. Our results\, which mirror those found previously for political fake ne
ws\, suggest that nudging people to think about accuracy is a simple way t
o improve choices about what to share on social media.\n

Abstract\nThe growing diversity and complexity of healthcare systems bring
s with it a support challenge for clinicians and Medtech companies alike.
This is particularly true within the emerging digital healthcare market\,
where the number of applications is growing rapidly\, and the ecosystems a
re typically large and complex. Understanding these systems and aligning k
ey sensor and interface technology is critical to driving growth in both e
xisting and emerging applications.\n\nThis talk will provide insight into
ADI’s healthcare business and share details on our version of digital he
alth. Examples of new applications will be analyzed\, focusing on key chal
lenges and relevant sensor technology (e.g. nano-sensors for rapid point-o
f-care diagnostics and monitoring for disease management\, smart sensor sy
stems for synthetic biology\, etc.). The talk will conclude with a discuss
ion on future needs and initiatives needed to drive further adoption of di
