Materials, medicine, health: Sensing the world around us at all scales
Elazer Edelman (Director, Institute for Medical Engineering and Science (IMES) Edward J. Poitras Professor in Medical Engineering and Science)
Abstract: We live in a remarkable time—survival from the most fatal and morbid diseases have dropped precipitously concomitant with extraordinary burgeoning of novel biological insights and the introduction of new technology. Technology and science march hand-in-hand to improve health. Yet, the onset of this newest viral pandemic has created another global crisis. MIT NANO and IMES through its CRC have long come together to use and advance technology to address issues in human health and disease. Together, we sense the world around us at multiple dimensions to quantify our environment and anticipate how to influence our world for good. This talk will provide a view as to the power of multiscale investigations and the impact of such collaborations on established and emerging diseases.
