SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Dialogue and Donuts
DESCRIPTION:Come enjoy a sweet treat and make new friends while testing out U-M's new conversation game\, The Pluralism Playdeck. The Pluralism Playdeck is a low-key scaffolded card game designed to allow university students to practice the soft skills they need to engage in compassionate and honest conversations about hot-button issues across ideological and demographic differences. You'll learn about yourself. You'll learn about others. You'll develop a skill set that will serve you well in both social and professional settings.

SUMMARY:Performance:Jessi Grieser\, carillon
DESCRIPTION:LSA faculty member Jessi Grieser performs on the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Carillon\, an instrument of 60 bells with the lowest bell (bourdon) weighing 6 tons.\n\nThirty-minute recitals are performed on the Lurie Carillon every weekday that classes are in session. During these recitals\, visitors may take the elevator to level 2 to view the largest bells\, or to level 3 to see the carillonist performing. (Visitors subject to acrophobia are recommended to visit level 2 only.) An optional spiral stairway between levels 2 and 3 allows for up-close views of some of the largest bells.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biomedical Engineering (BME 500) Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Non-invasive Histotripsy Cancer Treatment: The Road from Bench to Bedside\nAbstract:\nHistotripsy is the first non-invasive\, non-ionizing\, and non-thermal ablation technology that is based on ultrasound and invented by Dr. Xu and her colleagues at the University of Michigan. Imagine ultrasound delivered from outside the body is used to generate bubbles and destroy the target tumor\, without incision or injury. Pre-clinical studies have shown that ultrasound image-guided histotripsy can non-invasively and mechanically disrupt the target tumor into acellular debris while preserving large normal vessels\, nerves\, and bile ducts. Histotripsy tumor acellular debris is absorbed by the body\, resulting in tumor regression and increased survival benefit. Histotripsy induces significant innate and adaptive immune response and abscopal effect (shrinkage of off-target tumors) in murine tumor models. Multi-center clinical trials confirm that histotripsy produces tumor regression and provides evidence of abscopal effect in patients with primary and metastatic liver tumors. In October 2023\, the Edison histotripsy platform (HistoSonics) was approved by FDA for non-invasive treatment of liver tumors. The Edison system is based on the technology licensed from Dr. Xu’s lab and manufactured by HistoSonics\, a company co-founded by Dr. Xu. To Date\, histotripsy has been used to treat 3000 patients with liver tumors in 70+ hospitals. There are ongoing clinical trials in the U.S. and Europe on histotripsy treatment of renal tumors and pancreatic tumors. Dr. Xu will talk about the mechanism and instrumentation of histotripsy\, the latest pre-clinical and clinical progress\, and her journal to bring this technology from bench to bedside. \nBio:\nDr. Zhen Xu is the Li Ka Shing Endowed Professor of Biomedical Engineering\, and Professor of Radiology and Neurosurgery at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\, MI. Her research focuses on ultrasound therapy and imaging. She is a pioneer and world leader of histotripsy. She has developed histotripsy for cancer\, neurological\, and cardiovascular applications. Her work has led to the FDA approval of histotripsy treatment of liver tumors. She has been elected as Fellow of National Academy of Inventors (NAI)\, American Institute of Medicine and Bioengineering (AIMBE)\, and IEEE. She received the IEEE Ultrasonics\, Ferroelectrics\, and Frequency Control (UFFC) Outstanding Paper Award in 2006\, Frederic Lizzi Award from the International Society of Therapeutic Ultrasound (ISTU) in 2015\, Lockhart Memorial Prize for Cancer Research in 2020\, and IEEE Carl Hellmuth Hertz Ultrasonics Award in 2024. She has published 140 peer-reviewed journal papers and has been awarded $50+ millions of external grant funding. She has 36 issued US and international patents. She is a principal investigator of grants funded by NIH\, Office of Navy Research\, American Cancer Association\, and Focused Ultrasound Foundation. She is the co-founder of HistoSonics. HistoSonics is valued at $3 billions through a recent private acquisition.
