laboratory-based
short course to expose interested scientists to the many aspects of
tissue
engineering, scaffold formulation, and analytical techniques that
are at the
cutting edge of the field.
Module I - Cell Culture Techniques

CIMIT Summer Education Series 2009: Frontiers of
Inhalation Technologies in Biomedical Sciences and Clinical Medicine
Tuesdays in July (July 7, 14, 21, 28)
Time: 4:00-6:00pm
Location: MIT McGovern Institute for Brain Research
43 Vassar Street, Cambridge
Singleton Auditorium, Room 46-3002 (3rd Floor, Atrium Level,
Building 46) -
View directions
CIMIT Summer Education Series 2009 will feature CIMITs new
Inhalation Technology Program (ITP) and innovations within this
field. The objective of the ITP is to develop inhalation-based
technologies that will help reduce human suffering and eventually
health care costs. The ITP mission includes not only diagnosis and
treatment of both acute and chronic respiratory conditions, but also
systemic therapies for non-respiratory conditions. The respiratory
tract can locally and systemically deliver therapeutic agents, and
can also be a "window" to monitor biomarkers of disease states.
Areas for innovation include the use of novel combinations of gases,
therapeutic agents, inhalation systems, delivery systems and
"smart-delivery" (self-monitoring/dosing) devices.
The Summer Education Series will feature research presentations by
leaders in the field as well as panel discussions. The developing
technology presented will have application across many disciplines.
Audience interaction and cross-disciplinary fertilization is
strongly encouraged.
Series moderators include CIMIT Inhalation Technology Program
Leaders Jose Venegas, PhD, Massachusetts General Hospital; Augustine
Choi, MD, Brigham and Womens Hospital; and Jussi Saukkonen, MD,
West Roxbury Veterans Hospital, Boston University Medical Center and
Dean Hess, PhD, MGH.
