DESCRIPTION:IEEE Circuits and Systems Society Distinguished Lecture Series:
 \n\nAbstract\n\nThe speaker will introduce a new paradigm of "Human in the
  loop" precision medicine\, made possible by advances in flexible sensors\
 , optics\, microfluidics\, drug delivery\, and electronics. The closed loo
 p approach is expected to be more effective in improving the health outcom
 es of individuals across broad demographics\, as opposed to the current op
 en-loop one-size-fits-all approach to medicine. The presentation will draw
  on examples from the speaker's own interdisciplinary research projects. F
 or instance\, the speaker will showcase a novel toolkit of sensors\, micro
 fluidics\, electronics\, and drug delivery\, all integrated onto a surgica
 l suture\, which realizes the vision of tissue-embedded diagnostics. Even 
 electronic transistors and integrated circuits can be created on a single 
 thread\, giving rise to "free-form three dimensional integrated circuits."
  The use of textile threads offers unique advantages such as wide availabi
 lity\, affordability\, versatility of materials\, and easy textile-based p
 rocessing. The talk will also feature a project that employs additive manu
 facturing and laser micromachining to develop smart lab-on-a-pill devices 
 that can spatially sample the gut microbiome in vivo. These ingestible pil
 ls have the potential to capture the spatial microbial biogeography of the
  gut\, providing valuable insights into host-microbiome interactions and o
 pening up a new realm of ingestible diagnostics compared to traditional fe
 cal analysis. The talk will conclude with a forward-looking perspective on
  the field of bioelectronics and the exciting possibilities it holds. More
  importantly\, it will showcase knowledge gaps and how the biomedical circ
 uits and systems community can help address those in near term and long te
 rm.\n\nCo-sponsored by: IEEE Circuits and Systems Society\n\nSpeaker(s): S
