CONGRATULATIONS TO THE ANKRUM FAMILY Congratulations to HST MEMP alum James Ankrum and his family on the arrival of daughter Helena Rose, earlier this month.
Get to know about the path, accomplishments and current activities of selected Medical Engineering and Medical Physics (HST MEMP) alumni at the HST website here. "Step outside your comfort zone. The perspective will surprise you."
The HST REFS want to remind you that they are here for you if you are feeling stressed, frustrated, or simply want to talk to someone. The team is made up of five past and present HST students who are formally trained in mediation services, and can provide confidentiality and function independently of MIT. They are here to be your first point of contact for a range of issues including conflicts within lab or matters of a more personal nature. For more information about them, visit: http://hst.mit.edu/people/students/hst-refs.
Any of the REFS are available for scheduled meetings at a mutually convenient time and location, so please feel free to email them at hst-refs@mit.edu. |
Course Information & Academic Resources
Next semester, we are running the fourth year of a class to teach the process of creating new ventures in healthcare. The class will be an interdisciplinary mix of engineers, scientists, entrepreneurs, and clinicians. Check out the details below and please feel free to email me with any questions! Also – this is now an official HST class – this will be the first year we are offering this course with a designated HST catalog number! What: 15.367/HST.978 Healthcare Ventures: a scientific approach to starting healthcare and medical ventures When & Where: Tuesdays, 5-8pm; E25-117 Who: Anyone passionate about health and medicine (engineers, scientists, business students, and medical students) How: If you are interested, apply here: http://bit.ly/1eySKq3 Why do it: The goal of this class is to take ideas from Design Thinking and from the Lean Startup movement and combine them into a principled approach to starting companies in healthcare. This approach leverages ideas of experimental design and hypothesis testing in order to accelerate the pace for evaluating and developing ideas and for positioning the idea to establish a new venture.
We have recruited a group of very experienced faculty who, together with their network, will provide extensive mentoring through this process. In short, this course will provide a supportive, near real-world experience to help you make your mark in the Biomedical arena - or at the very least - provide you with a durable educational experience that will benefit you long beyond your time at MIT.
This class is perfect for anyone with a new technology they want to turn into a company, or for anyone with a healthcare challenge in search of the perfect product, or just someone with the passion and energy to learn how to change healthcare.
The class will be led by Professor Martha Gray the J.W. Kieckhefer Professor of Health Sciences and Technology and Zen Chu, Senior Lecturer at Sloan, and involves a variety of other faculty from the medical, engineering, and business communities.
Please feel free to reach out to the TA Chris Lee (christopher.lee@mit.edu) with any questions. We look forward to seeing you!
The Biology department is offering two new graduate courses in 2015-2016. The Hallmarks of Cancer (7.85) will be offered in fall 2015 and Protein Folding and Misfolding in Biology (7.87) will be offered in spring 2016. Course descriptions are available here.
Online Registration for Summer 2015 opens on June 1, 2015. Graduate students who are enrolled in a research degree program and who are taking only thesis or pre-thesis research subjects during the summer will have their registration approved by their departments. All other students should contact their departments to discuss subject selection.
Registration must be submitted by the end of the first week of the summer session (Friday, June 12). Registration submitted after this deadline is subject to a $50 late fee.
Once the department has approved the registration selections, all subsequent changes to the student's program should be made via the Online Add Drop application.
The last day of classes, Friday, August 14, is the deadline for adding and dropping subjects. |

MEDTECH BOSTON INFORMATION SOURCE & CALENDAR OF EVENTS Boston has long been known as a medical mecca of scientific discovery. Boston’s healthcare professionals and administrators are adopting practices from other high-risk and service industries. The ‘big data’ movement is thriving, fundamentally changing our healthcare delivery systems. Digital health investments are higher than ever before. Medical hackathons and un-conferences are now an every-weekend occurrence. And both redesign and innovation promise to change medicine as we know it. It’s all happening right here, right now.
But the problem is that many of us don’t know it. Despite Boston’s innovative energy and a solid medical infrastructure, many medical providers and health care entrepreneurs remain in the dark about the opportunities, events and work happening in and around the city of Boston – and across the country. That’s where we come in.
At Medtech Boston, we highlight exciting medical innovation work in and around the city of Boston. We aim to start a discussion about the most exciting and controversial new healthcare offerings, igniting a new reputation for Boston as a city with first-class medical research and patient care, but also as a city full of passionate people who use new technology to think big thoughts about medicine’s most pressing problems.
More information and events from Medtech Boston is available here. MIT GLOBAL HEALTH AND MEDICAL HUMANITIES INITIATIVE (GHMHI) UPCOMING EVENTS The goal of the Global Health and Medical Humanities Initiative (GHMHI) is to provide MIT students the training to analyze critically the determinants of health and roles of medicine in society from historical and cross-cultural perspectives.
Global Health programs in medical schools, schools of public health, and universities and colleges across the U.S. emphasize how biomedical training, research, and practice, as well as interdisciplinary collaborations beyond the health sciences, are necessary to improve the determinants of health—whether social, political, economic, or biological.
Medical Humanities is a subfield of medicine that draws on the humanities, arts, and social sciences to analyze medical education and clinical practice.

Project Description: The demand for number of total hip replacement (THR) surgery for advanced arthritis is expected to double over the next decade. The past and current innovation of THR has largely focused on development of improved implant bearing materials and implant fixation methods. However, the challenges in the performance of contemporary THR are related to adverse in vivo dynamic phenomenon (such as edge loading, impingement and dislocation), which occurs as a function of both static implant orientation (cup positioning); and 2) dynamic biomechanics of the individual patient. This new innovative research aims to: 1) evaluate the utility of robotic–assisted surgical technology in improving acetabular implant orientation; and 2) quantify its role in optimizing in vivo biomechanics of hip joint is required to gain insights to overcome the current challenges. Student Role: Orthopaedic Research Assistant It is expected that the student will be involved in a study that will be performed to validate the utility of 1) the dual fluoroscopic system in evaluating in vivo kinematic parameters of hip joint; and 2) dynamic motion analysis combined with CT data in evaluating in vivo duration and magnitude hip joint force (kinetic parameters) during functional activities.”
