Wonderful to host The Leducq International Network on Bioelectronics for Neurocardiology at our @NU_QSIB here at @NorthwesternU. We’re honored to be participants in this program, along with the groups of Drs @shivkumarmd (@UCLA), david paterson (@UniofOxford), Jeffrey Ardell, Olujimi Ajijola (@UCLA), Neil Herring, Alexander Green (@UniofOxford), @IEfimov (@NorthwesternU), @NTrayanova (@JohnsHopkins), Olivier Bernus, @VigmondEJ, and Michel Haissaguerre (Université de Bordeaux). As a follow-up to meetings in our downtown labs yesterday, we spent several hours here at our Evanston facilities this morning in short presentations on our latest unpublished work in area, ranging from resorbable pacemakers, to systems for patients undergoing TAVR procedures, to cardiac organoid interfaces, to platforms for research on cardiac slices, to others that are too sensitive to mention here (!). Many great conversations. Thanks again to everyone for visiting, and for working together with us on these important topics!
@prof_preobr Глупости, это никакая не ошибка. Это было сделано чтобы подчеркнуть что НАТО до Трампа была фактически Американской организацией. Not anymore
@max_katz@pevchikh Маша имеет право на это. И от моего поколения тоже (я родился в один год с Ходорковским) - мы прекрасно помним мерзкую роль Коха в залоговых аукционах и в разгроме свободы прессы. Именно такие как он привели к власти КГБ.
Congratulations to Dr. Andrew Efimov for successfully defending his PhD thesis this morning! Andrew, the very talented son of our long-time collaborator and faculty colleague Prof. @IEfimov, worked in our group on a diverse collection of projects in battery-free, miniaturized implantable optoelectronic devices for optogenetic studies using small animal models. The key results include the first demonstrations of optogenetic control over gut activity in freely moving mice (https://t.co/dKK9kTjKlU); the first foundational experimental and theoretical investigations of thermal loads associated with implantable optoelectronic systems (https://t.co/n2uOji0KR8); and, most recently, the first implantable optogenetic ‘displays’ for spatio-temporal programming of brain activity (https://t.co/N6pmZm8EXp). For these projects, we’d like to acknowledge essential contributions from key senior collaborators, Prof. Yonggang Huang (for thermal, optical and mechanical modeling), Prof. @nickjspencer1 (for experiments involving the gut) and Prof. @NUro_science (for neuroscience studies of programmed brain activity) - along with their students and other members of our group. Through these efforts, Andrew (second from the left) has proven that he can work both independently and in highly distributed, collaborative modes -- foreshadowing a very promising future ahead! Finally, thanks to Igor (furthest to the right), for encouraging Andrew to join our group, and to Andrew’s committee members – Prof. Matthew Tresch (Zoom screen, left), Prof. Guillermo Ameer (Zoom screen, right) and Prof. @jrivnay (second from the right) – for their excellent advice and their willingness to serve in this capacity!
@roizmangbn@MoscowTimes_ru Благотворительность американцев не имеет пределов. Мы снова пошлем гуманитарную помощь в 2020е, как в 1920е, в 1940е, и как в 1990е.
Professor Igor Efimov has been invested as a member of the American Academy of Sciences and Letters, joining a list of AASL honorees that includes Sir Salman Rushdie, Henry Louis Gates Jr., and three Nobel-laureate scientists.
Congrats, Igor!
