Want to learn more about PBMC separation from blood using our AcouWash system? Have a look at this new publication:

🩺 Amazing news!!!! 🩺 Check out our article "Effect of impeller rotational phase on the FDA blood pump velocity fields" on Artificial Organs. Amazing teamwork with Kagan Ucak and my sincere thanks to our advisor Prof. Kerem Pekkan.

🚀 Exciting News! I am thrilled to announce that our paper, "Effect of Impeller Phase on the FDA Blood Pump Velocity Field," has been published in Artificial Organs! 🩺The FDA blood pump is a benchmark cardiovascular device used to validate CFD analyses of new blood pumps. Despite its critical role, a comprehensive fluid dynamics analysis, including impeller orientations and relative velocity fields, was missing. We filled these gaps using particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurements, revealing over 30% deviations between different impeller orientations and highlighting the crucial role of turbomachinery equations in blood pump designs. 🔍Also, our study is the second validation dataset for the FDA blood pump in the literature and we as Biofluids and Cardiovascular Mechanics (BCM) Lab have become the fourth group who conducted PIV measurements for this device all around the world! You can access our article and dataset below. 📚 Access Our Work: Full article: https://lnkd.in/dtjHWrE5 Open source PIV dataset: https://lnkd.in/duA2m8eW While studying for our Bachelor's, completing two academic research projects from designing experiments to writing drafts and revisions for two years was a significant challenge. Faruk KARATAS and I overcame these hurdles with patience and weekly lab meetings. We are so grateful to our supervisor, Prof. Kerem Pekkan, for his invaluable guidance and for providing us with such excellent research opportunities and equipment. 🔬 Not finished yet! Our second study, which employs a beam splitter for the simultaneous analysis of our blood turbine and pump medical device (iATVA) for right heart failure, is currently under review. More updates coming soon!

“We are in a class of our own when it comes to laser-based beam diagnostics,” said Sarah Cousineau, section head for Accelerator Science and Technology at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. “To me, this award validates our research program. It also recognizes Yun’s extraordinary leadership in developing a new class of beam diagnostics tailored specifically to superconducting linear accelerators, which are the future of high-power proton accelerators.” The comb solves the longstanding problem of measuring changes in the beam across time; these measurements were once possible only by taking separate measurements. Instead, Liu’s laser acts as a camera capturing a reel of shots in one click of the shutter. Each tooth of the comb, or laser pulse, captures how the distribution of particles in the beam changes in trillionths of a second. Using Liu’s laser comb, physicists can not only choose sections of beam pulses to measure but also study change and uncover patterns in a single measurement without interrupting accelerator operations. https://bit.ly/42TAdgB

The 10th International Conference on Biomedical Engineering and Systems (ICBES'23) of International ASET inc. was an incredible and rewarding experience! I thoroughly enjoyed being a part of this event, which has become the leading annual conference in the fields related to biomedical engineering and systems. It provided a unique opportunity to bring together scholars from around the world, present advances in relevant fields, and foster an enriching environment for the exchange of ideas and information. During ICBES 2023, I had the privilege of sharing my expertise in the field of biomedical engineering by presenting my paper titled "COMPARISON OF MANUAL AND SEMIAUTOMATIC VOLUME OF INTEREST DRAWING FOR THE ANALYSIS OF SPINAL CORD MYELIN PET IMAGING." This work resulted in the publication of a paper with the same title, contributing to the advancement of research in this crucial area. #ICBES2023 #BiomedicalEngineering #IncredibleExperience #KnowledgeExchange #ScientificPublication

The applications for this easy to use but powerful benchtop system seem endless

Myriade teams can't wait to see the Corning Videodrop exhibited during this BioProcess International Conference & Exhibition in Boston. The cutting-edge product, #Videodrop, is now available to the United States, Canada, China, and more widely in the Americas & and Asian regions (except Japan) through Corning LifeScience. This marks a significant milestone in the field of bioprocess quality control and promises to improve the way researchers and scientists conduct their analyses & and in-process controls all along the upstream & downstream bioproduction processes of Lentivirus, extracellular vesicles, adenoviruses, and mRNA-LNP. The Corning Videodrop utilizes the principles of interferometry in conjunction with microscopy to sense, detect, characterize, and track single nanoparticles in real-time. The operation of this bioproduction analytical device is seamless thanks to its intuitive software interface and efficient sample handling protocol. #Videodrop #bioproduction #downstreamprocess #inprocesscontrols #lentivirus #adenovirus #extracellularvesicles #genetherapy #celltherapy #cartcell #cartcelltherapy #viralvector #nanoparticles #France2030 #LNP #mRNALNP

🎊 International Journal of Hyperthermia Editor’s Award 2022 🎉 Sven Nouwens of the Control Systems Technology (CST) TU/e team received the Best Paper Award 2022 in the International Journal of Hyperthermia with the paper "Integrated thermal and magnetic susceptibility modeling for air-motion artifact correction in proton resonance frequency shift thermometry" co-authored by Maarten Paulides, Jeroen Fölker, Iva Vilas-Boas Ribeiro, Bram de Jager and Maurice Heemels. Congratulations, Sven Nouwens, and all authors many thanks for the great teamwork! 👍 The paper provides new ideas and methodologies to improve the temperature estimation inside the patient using MRI scanners for the purpose of hyperthermia treatments. #Hyperthermia treatments are successful adjuvants to conventional #cancertherapy in which the tumor is sensitised by heating. The link to the paper can be found in the comments. #cancertreatment #ifac #mri
