Description
Bioelectromagnetism has proven itself to be useful to manipulate cells and harness them for therapies. My journey with bioelectromagnetism started with developing tumor-treating fields on a microfluidic chip and using it to study how bioelectrical simulations can inhibit cancer proliferation. Intrigued by this phenomenon, I then moved on to using a wireless magnetic system that can be transduced into mechanical stimulation for activating neurons during my PhD. Now, I am leading a research thrust using magneto-mechanical stimulation to enhance fibroblast and stem cell function for wound healing. Through my talk, I hope to encourage the research trainees to explore the use of bio-electro-magneto-mechano stimulations for diverse therapeutic applications.
