SUMMARY:BME Seminar Series: Daniel Gallego-Perez\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Nanotransfection-driven gene and cell therapies\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDaniel Gallego-Perez\, PhDEdgar C. Hendrickson Chair in Biomedical EngineeringProfessor\, Surgery GeneralThe Ohio State University \n\n\n\nAbstract:Gene and engineered cell therapies hold transformative potential for treating a wide range of conditions. However\, current approaches face significant practical and translational challenges\, including a heavy reliance on viral vectors and high variability\, which often result in inefficient or unpredictable outcomes. To address these limitations\, we developed a novel nanotechnology-based approach that enables deterministic cell (in vitro) or tissue nano-transfection (TNT) (in vivo) without the need for viral vectors. These platform technologies offer a minimally disruptive and non-viral solution\, making them particularly suited for complex disease systems such as neurodegenerative conditions and metabolic disorders. Nano-transfection chips were manufactured from silicon or polymeric track etched membranes using cleanroom-based approaches\, as described previously. These chips were then used to nanotransfect skin cells\, in vitro or in vivo\, with pro-vasculogenic or pro-adipogenic gene cocktails\, which were then evaluated (for their therapeutic potential) in different murine models of neurodegenerative conditions\, including ischemic stroke\, and Alzheimer’s disease (AD)\, as well as models of metabolic dysfunction. Different molecular\, histological\, and functional outcomes studies were conducted to assess the extent to which these therapies mitigated disease burden in each model. In murine models of ischemic stroke\, nanotransfected fibroblasts improved brain vascularization\, perfusion\, as well as neuroprotection and neuroregeneration in the motor cortex\, which led to improved motor function. In murine models of AD\, nanotransfected fibroblasts led to improved brain vascularization\, perfusion\, and reduced amyloid beta load. This also correlated with improved memory and cognitive function. Finally\, in murine models of metabolic dysfunction\, TNT-treated skin cells were successfully coopted to partially fulfill brown adipogenic functions\, which led to improved weight control and cardiometabolic function. Overall\, these findings highlight the potential of cell and tissue nano-transfection to drive therapeutic processes for restoring damaged or diseased tissue structure and function\, paving the way for innovative treatments across diverse pathological conditions. \n\n\n\nPrint PDF

SUMMARY:From Data to Decision Making in Health and Humanitarian Logistics: Insights and Challenges
DESCRIPTION:Decision making to satisfy the basic human needs of health\, food\, and education is complex. We present an overview of two illustrative studies using data to inform decision making in health care delivery associated with sepsis and hunger relief. \n\n\n\nIn the first study\, we integrate electronic health record (EHR) data with clinical expertise to develop a continuous-time Markov decision process model of the natural history of sepsis. We formulate this as a stopping problem to find the optimal first intervention to minimize expected mortality and morbidity. We explore the effect of the complex trade-offs associated with the intervention costs and patient disposition costs which are subjective and difficult to estimate. This framework provides key insights into sepsis patients’ stochastic trajectories and informs clinical decision making associated with caring for these patients as their health dynamically evolves. \n\n\n\nIn the second study\, we develop a single-period\, weighted multi-criteria optimization model that provides the decision-maker the flexibility to capture their preferences over the three criteria of equity\, effectiveness\, and efficiency\, and explore the resulting trade-offs. We introduce a novel algorithm to elicit the inherent preference of a food bank by analyzing its actions within a single-period. The non-interactive nature of this algorithm is especially significant for humanitarian organizations such as food banks which lack the resources to interact with modelers on a regular basis. We explore the implications of different decision-maker preferences for the criteria on distribution policies. \n\n\n\n\n\nBio: Julie Simmons Ivy\, Ph.D.\, is the Vivian L. Carpenter Collegiate Professor and Chair of the Department of Industrial and Operations Engineering (IOE) at the University of Michigan. Dr. Ivy is also the Edgar S. Woolard Professor Emerita of the Edward P. Fitts Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at North Carolina State University. Dr. Ivy received her B.S. and Ph.D. from Michigan IOE and her M.S. in Industrial and Systems Engineering from Georgia Tech. Dr. Ivy’s research seeks to model complex interactions and quantitatively capture the impact of different factors\, objectives\, system dynamics\, intervention options and policies on outcomes to address complex societal issues in healthcare and hunger relief. Dr. Ivy is an Institute of Operations Research and Management Science (INFORMS) Fellow and an Institute of Industrial & Systems Engineers (IISE) Fellow. Dr. Ivy serves on the National Academies Board on Mathematical Sciences and Analytics (BMSA). Dr. Ivy has focused on empowering women of color and underrepresented minorities in IE\, OR\, and STEM over the past 25+ years. She was selected as an INFORMS 2021 Minority Issues Forum (MIF) Fellow and received the INFORMS 2020 WORMS Award for the Advancement of Women in OR/MS.
