“Translational Strategies in Biofluidic and Thermal Medicine: From Hearing Preservation to Thrombosis Prediction”
In this seminar, Dr. Fateme Esmailie will present an integrative view of her lab’s translational research at the intersection of thermal-fluid sciences and cardiovascular and auditory physiology. The talk will highlight three major ongoing initiatives: (1) hearing preservation through photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) and localized hypothermia, using cadaver-based models to inform cochlear protection strategies; (2) thermal and electrical modeling of cardiac ablation technologies, with a focus on pulsed field ablation and its precision targeting; and (3) a novel, semi-empirical modeling framework for predicting post-transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) thrombosis, combining experimental flow loops with data-driven biochemical simulations. Together, these efforts aim to bridge experimental biofluidics with clinically relevant modeling, supporting innovation in both therapeutic development and patient-specific risk assessment.
