Results for Medical Device Development

Dr. Levy is the director of Cardiology Research, and also serves as program director of the Cardiology National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Research Training Grant. His research interests are the pathophysiology of biomaterials used in medicine, basic mechanisms and novel therapies for heart valve disease, arterial angioplasty, local drug delivery, and nanomedicine. He also has experience over three decades in medical device development.

Dr. Pasha studies the mechanism of spinal deformity development in the pediatric population. She uses analytical and computational methods to better understand the pathogenesis of pediatric scoliosis. Her lab develops medical devices and software packages that can be used in orthopedic clinics worldwide.

Dr. Tremoulet's current research interests include designing intelligent information systems that use human data (e.g. medical images, vital signs, reaction times, verbal, numerical or abstract reasoning assessments, neurological measures, etc.) to support healthcare and/or to improve job performance by enabling more effective human-machine interaction.

Dr. Rossano's extensive research experience primarily involves the epidemiology and outcomes of cardiovascular disease in children, and multi-institutional collaborative observational and interventional studies. His particular research interests include evaluating the treatment and outcomes of pediatric cardiomyopathy, heart failure, and transplantation.

Vijay Srinivasan, MBBS, MD, works in research and quality improvement programs dealing with critical illness endocrinopathies and nutrition to improve outcomes in critically ill children. His research focuses on stress hyperglycemia with tight glycemic control and nutrition therapy.

Dr. Licht is the director of the Wolfson Family Laboratory for Clinical and Biomedical Optics. His research focuses on the development and use of novel noninvasive optical devices to probe cerebrovascular hemodynamics and physiology in vivo. These devices are used in clinical and preclinical studies to discover the timing and causes of brain injury during care.

Dr. Van Batavia's long-term goal is to become a leader in neuro-urology and lower urinary tract dysfunction, with particular emphasis on deciphering the pathophysiology of lower urinary tract dysfunction and translating developments in the basic science arena into clinical improvements for patients.

Dr. Cahill's focuses on improving treatments for patients with early onset chest and spinal deformity, employing a combination of clinical, biomechanical, and basic science research approaches.
