The goal was to help 51Թresearchers i dentify and develop projects that could eventually apply for internal or e xternal seed funding.\nClick on the presentation and poster titles in the schedule below to learn more about the opportunities presented.\n \nFull s chedule below. \n\n\n\n8:15-8:55 a.m.\nContinental breakfast\n\n8:55-9:00 a.m. \nWelcoming remarks  - Rima Rozen\, Associate Vice-Principal (Researc h and International Relations)\n\n9:00-10:30 a.m.\n\nPresentations:Moderat or: Peter Grutter\, Associate Dean\, Research and Graduate Education\, Fac ulty of Science - Peter Grutter\, Physics: 'Science & Technology for the L ife Sciences' - Jim Gleason\, Chemistry: 'Designing Molecular Hybrids' - R enzo Cecere\, Surgery: 'A proposal for a 51Թbiodesign and cardiovascul ar innovation program' - Thomas Quinn\, Chemical Engineering: 'Cell cultur e on high-extension surfaces:  Novel technology in support of regenerative medicine' - Sylvain Baillet\, Neurology and Neurosurgery: 'A Common Brain Imaging Technique for Diagnosis and Therapy' - Parisa Ariya\, Chemistry a nd Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences: 'Canadian Research Initiative on Inte ractions of Urban Air Quality\, Climate\, Weather & Health'\n\n10:30-11:00 a.m.\nNetworking break\n\n11:00 a.m.-12:30 p.m.\nPresentations:Moderator: Marianna Newkirk\, Associate Dean (Research)\, Faculty of Medicine - Sabr ina Leslie\, Physics: 'Trapping and Extending DNA Molecules Using Tunable Nano-Scale Confinement' - Marta Cerruti\, Mining and Materials Engineering : 'Bio-synthetic interfaces' - Rob Kearney\, Biomedical Engineering: 'Pred ication of Extubation Readiness in Extreme Pre-Term Infants' - Margaret Ma gdesian\, Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital: 'Microfluidics\, S ilicon Devices & Nanotools for All' - Edward Harvey\, Surgery: 'Adapting a Common Engineering Technology for Medical Purposes' - Philippe Archambaul t\, Physical and Occupational Therapy: 'Rehabilitation Technology in the c ontext of the “Mall as a Living Lab” project'\n\n12:30-12:35 p.m.\nClosing remarks - Rose Goldstein\, Vice-Principal (Research and International Rel ations)\n\n12:35-2:00 p.m.\n\nBuffet lunch and poster sessionPosters: - Eh san Masoumi Khalil Abad: A protective cage for a rotating intravenous oxyg enator - Sherif Abdalla: The Use of Hyaluronic Acid-based Hydrogel in Myoc ardial Regeneration - Saad AlQahtani: Porous Titanium Scaffold Promote Bon e Regeneration Of Long Bone Critical Size Defect in Rodent Model - Toufic Azar: A Novel Percutaneous Mitral Valve Repair Technique - Daniel Berard: Trapping and Extending DNA Molecules Using Tunable Nano-Scale Confinement  - William Farrell and Timothy Sider: Reconciling the promotion of active t ransportation and personal exposure to traffic-related air pollution in Ca nadian urban areas - Sebastien Faucher: Understanding Legionella pneumophi la Behavior in Water Systems - Chan Gao: Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Dense C ollagen Scaffolds Promote  Cortical Bone Healing - Kenneth Guo: Anatomical Considerations for the Development of a New Transcatheter Aorto-Pulmonary Shunt (TAPS) Device in Patients with Severe Pulmonary Arterial Hypertensi on - Mark Hancock: Label-free\, Real-time Protein Interaction Analysis - F arhad Javid: Novel Suturing Devices for Percutaneous Endovascular Operatio ns - Lara Kanbar and Carlos Robles Rubio: Prediction of Extubation Readine ss in Extreme Preterm Infants Based on Measures of Cardiorespiratory Varia bility - Monserrat Lopez: Using Atomic Force Microscopy to create artifici al connections between neurons - Xinyu Liu: Paper-Based Microfluidic Biose nsors for Point-of-Care Diagnostics - Caroline Madwar: Model lipid membran e domains for evaluating specific cellular responses - Hesameddin Mahjoubi : Electrospun nanofiber PDLLA scaffolds for biomedical applications - Dami ano Pasini: The Development of a Bone Preserving Femoral Implant - Derek R osenzweig: Culture of primary bovine chondrocytes on a continuously expand ing surface inhibits dedifferentiation - Derek Rosenzweig: Culture of prim ary bovine chondrocytes on silicone rubber modified with a cartilage extra cellular matrix extract - Saied Samiedaluie: Improving health outcomes thr ough operational policies - Rajesh Valanparambil: Immunomodulatory protein s derived from a gastrointestinal nematode as novel therapies for immune-m ediated DTSTART:20121205T131500Z DTEND:20121205T190000Z LOCATION:Faculty Club\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0E5\, 3450 rue McTavish SUMMARY:51ԹWorkshop: Capitalize on the Convergence URL:/research/channels/event/mcgill-workshop-capitaliz e-convergence-218969 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
