“Harnessing nanomedicine for treating peripheral vascular diseases”
ABSTRACT:
The vascular system is essential to the maintenance of physiological functions of every organ. Vascular diseases - either occlusive (stenosis) or degenerative (aneurysm) - are highly prevalent in the aged population in the US. Despite decades of advancement in medications and devices, surgical treatments, despite invasive and costly, remain the primary choice of care. The problem is two-fold: lack of new drugs, and lack of delivery approaches. In a cross-disciplinary collaborative effort, we adopted a two-pronged approach, which led to the discovery of a series of actionable intervention targets as well as the development of nanoplatforms uniquely catered to each vascular disease settings. In this seminar, we will summarize the ongoing research concerning the potential utility of nanomedicine as non-surgical treatment for vascular diseases ranging from (re)stenosis to abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Extending Care: A Conversation about Conservation and Futurity
Block Museum of Art
6:00 PM
//
Block Museum of Art, Mary and Leigh
Details
The Center for Scientific Studies in the Arts is a collaboration between the Art Institute of Chicago and materials science-related departments at Northwestern University to pursue objects-based and objects-inspired scientific research. Materials research benefits ongoing work in conservation, archaeology, art history, and curatorial scholarship.
Learn how the Center uses materials research to care for art objects in sustainable, innovative ways with Maria Kokkori, Senior Scientist in the Center for Scientific Studies in the Arts. She will be in conversation with Corey Byrnes, Northwestern Associate Professor of Chinese Culture and co-founder/co-director of the Environmental Humanities Workshop in Kaplan Humanities Center.
This event is presented by the McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science in conjunction with exhibition Actions for the Earth: Art, Care & Ecology.
