Monday, January 30, at 12:10 p.m. in CUE 419
The Gene and Linda Voiland School of Chemical Engineering and Bioengineering host a seminar presented by Susmita Bose, Herman and Brita Lindholm Endowed Chair Professor in the School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering at Washington State University.
Dr. Bose received PhD from Rutgers University, NJ in 1998 and joined WSU in the same year. In 2001, she was offered a tenure track Assistant Professor Position at WSU, in 2006 promoted to Associate Professor and in 2010 to full professor. She received the prestigious Presidential Early Career Award for Scientist and Engineers (PECASE, the highest honor given to a young scientist by the US President at the White House) from the National Science Foundation. Dr. Bose was named a “Kavli fellow” by the National Academy of the Sciences in 2006. In 2009, she received the prestigious Schwartzwalder-Professional Achievement in Ceramic Engineering Award (PACE), Richard M. Fulrath award in 2014 from the American Ceramic Society and the excellence award from the International society for ceramics in medicine (ISCM) in 2016. Dr. Bose is an editorial board member for several international journals. Dr. Bose is an editorial board member for several international journals. Dr. Bose has published over 220 technical papers, including over 180 journal articles, 7 book chapters, 6 edited books, with over 8650 citations, “h” index 52. She holds 6 patents and 4 are currently pending at the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Dr. Bose is a fellow of the American Association for he Advancement of Science (AAAS), American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) and the American Ceramic Society (ACerS). In 2015, she received the Life Sciences Innovation North West (LSINW) – Women to watch award from Washington Biotechnology and Biomedical Association (WBBA). Dr. Bose’s group research on 3D printed ceramic bone tissue engineering scaffolds with controlled chemistry has been featured by the AP, BBC, NPR, CBS, MSNBC, ABC, and many other TV, radio stations, magazines and news sites all over the world.
3D Printing of Bioceramics in Bone Disorders: Understanding The Science and Clinical Significance
Additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing technology enables us to make devices with controlled geometry / architecture and chemistry depending on clinical needs. There are an estimated one million bone grafting procedures performed annually in the U.S. and a few million worldwide to repair fractures, craniomaxillofacial defects, bone defects, tumors, as well as hip and knee replacements due to the aging population, increase in musculoskeletal disorders and sports related injuries. Sometimes patients with special anatomical needs or defect complexity, patient matched devices are necessary. 3D printed resorbable calcium phosphate (CaP) ceramics show significant promise towards bone tissue engineering and surface modified metallic load bearing hip knee devices. Dopant chemistry plays a vital role in controlling their mechanical strength, degradation kinetics, as well as biological properties. 3D interconnected channels provide pathways for micronutrients, improved tissue – material interactions, osteogenesis and angiogenesis with these 3D printed scaffolds. Multi material incorporation also help improve mechanical and biological properties of these multifunctional devices. The presentation will include recent scientific and technological advances as well as challenges towards developing next generation biomedical devices using 3D printing for bone disorders.
