SUMMARY:Biomedical Fluid Mechanics: applications in urology and regenerati
 ve medicine - Sarah Waters\, University of Oxford
DTSTART:20240524T150000Z
DTEND:20240524T160000Z
UID:TALK216295@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Professor Grae Worster
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will discuss two applications of biomedical f
 luid mechanics in urology and regenerative medicine\, and present new theo
 retical models developed alongside complementary experimental approaches. 
 Throughout the talk\, I will highlight how the derivation and exploitation
  of reduced models that retain the essential physics\, while remaining tra
 ctable\,  can provide mechanistic insights into these biomedical fluid flo
 ws\, and discuss how the resulting insights can be exploited to drive new 
 healthcare innovations.   The first application will show how a detailed u
 nderstanding of the fluid mechanics associated with medical devices used t
 o treat kidney stones can be exploited to guide innovations in device oper
 ation and design with enhanced mass transport properties.  The second appl
 ication in regenerative medicine considers the complex interplay of cells\
 , biomaterials\, and bioreactors and microfluidic systems required for tis
 sue growth\, repair and regeneration.  I will show how insights into the w
 ealth of fluid mechanics challenges encountered in regenerative medicine\,
  including fluid-structure interactions\,  reactive multiphase flows\, and
  advective transport\, can guide the development of new regenerative medic
 ine therapies and protocols.
