Todd Coleman gives September 28 Frontiers lecture

Todd ColemanTodd Coleman, Associate Professor of Bioengineering at Stanford University, will lecture on “Monitoring and modulating nervous systems in the brain and visceral organs” at 4:00 pm in 2269 Beckman Institute and on Zoom September 28, 2022. Samuel Okyem, MBM trainee and PhD candidate in Chemistry, will give an introduction.

The lecture is free and open to the public courtesy of the Miniature Brain Machinery Program. Zoom details are below.

Abstract:

We will highlight recent technological and methodological advances in deploying miniaturized technologies that can monitor the electrophysiologic patterns of the visceral nervous system.  Specifically, we will showcase recent developments in biomedical signal processing that enable non-invasive tracking of the slow wave patterns associated with the neuromuscular activity of the stomach.

We will also describe recent developments of thin, stretchable, wireless biosensor patches that can be embedded within routinely used medical adhesives for ambulatory recording of these gastric electrophysiologic patterns.  We will illustrate how such systems can also be used in tandem with novel miniaturized pacing devices to enable closed-loop neuromodulation of the enteric nervous system.

We will also discuss recent efforts in exploring the electrophysiologic basis of the gut-brain axis with concurrent non-invasive electrophysiologic recordings of the brain and stomach. We will conclude with a summary of the knowns and unknowns in how multi-organ physiology research, technology miniaturization, and data science may create unique opportunities for the intersection of engineering, applied probability, neuroscience, and medicine.

Bio:

Todd P. Coleman received BS degrees in electrical engineering (summa cum laude), as well as computer engineering (summa cum laude) from the University of Michigan. He received MS and PhD degrees from MIT in electrical engineering and did postdoctoral studies at MIT in neuroscience. He was an Assistant Professor in Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois and was part of the Neuro-Engineering NSF IGERT training program.  He was then on the bioengineering faculty at UC San Diego.  He is currently the Yu Family Faculty Scholar in the School of Engineering and an Associate Professor in the Department of Bioengineering at Stanford University.

Dr. Coleman’s research is very multi-disciplinary, using tools from applied probability, physiology, and bioelectronics.  His research spans from developing fundamental information theory and machine learning techniques to developing technologies to monitor and modulate physiology of the nervous systems in the brain and visceral organs.  He has been selected as a National Academy of Engineering Gilbreth Lecturer, as a Fellow of IEEE, and a Fellow as the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering.  He is currently the Chair of the National Academies Standing Committee on Biotechnology Capabilities and National Security Needs.
