DESCRIPTION:The IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society\, Chicago 
 Chapter is honored to present Dr. Muna Aryal\, a promising early-career re
 searcher in the field of ultrasound-mediated brain drug delivery.\n\nDeliv
 ery of therapeutics into the brain is challenging because almost 100% of l
 arge and 98% of small molecules that exist in today's medicine are stopped
  by the special nature of brain vasculature\, the blood-brain barrier (BBB
 ) before entering into the brain tissue from the systemic blood circulatio
 n. Different methods have been used to overcome those challenges either by
  directly injecting drugs into the targeted brain tissue via stereotactic 
 surgeries or by designing new pharmaceuticals\, but they are invasive and 
 non-targeted. Low intensity transcranial focused ultrasound-mediated brain
  drug delivery is a promising technology that can noninvasively deliver an
 y-sized drugs with millimeter resolution to any point in the human brain w
 ith FDA-approved hardware. During this talk\, Dr. Aryal will introduce thr
 ee different ultrasound-based brain drug delivery techniques\; the blood-b
 rain barrier opening\, the ultrasonic drug uncaging\, and the ultrasonic g
 lymphatic perturbation. She will then shed light on their applications for
  brain cancer treatment\, neuromodulation\, neuroimaging\, and Alzheimer
 ’s treatment.\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Muna Aryal\, \n\nVirtual: https://event
