(Yale Club of Dallas invited!)

Merging traditional medical research with biomedical engineering methodologies presents unique opportunities to transform clinical care. UT Southwestern, long acclaimed for its success in pioneering new clinical treatments is now also a leader in Biomedical Engineering, which utilizes engineering principles and quantitative science to uncover new biological phenomena, understand human health, and improve treatment outcomes.
 

To learn more about this exciting work, please join the Harvard Club of Dallas at UTSW to meet two brilliant medical innovators: Samuel Achilefu, PhD (Professor & Chair, Department of Biomedical Engineering) and Dr. Bhavya Shah (Assistant Professor of Radiology).
 

Dr. Achilefu will share how the Department of Biomedical Engineering’s mission, which includes the development of portable, low-cost, and efficient devices to enable clinicians to reduce health disparity and prevent the onset of diseases. Dr. Shah’s talk will focus on his research in High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) for treating movement disorders. Thisis now being offered at UTSW for patients with essential tremors (ET) and tremor-predominant Parkinson’s disease (TPPD). He will also discuss his active collaboration with the biomedical engineering department at the University of Texas at Dallas in the development of new tools.
