Revolutionizing the Detection & Treatment of Neurological Conditions
Dr. Robert Rennaker,
Director of the Texas Biomedical Device Center Behavioral & Brain Sciences at The University of Texas at Dallas
Pharmaceuticals have had a tremendous impact on the quality of life for many over the past 40 years. The next revolution in health care will be driven by medical devices where drugs have failed to target specific areas. The goal is to use medical devices to target specific structures in the body on a wide range of medical conditions. This will include peripheral nerve interfaces to treat neurological conditions such as a stroke, advanced prosthetics to allow people to regain mobility, and advance sensor technology for early detection of cancer. The Texas Biomedical Device Center is a leader in this field and is focused on making Dallas a hub of innovation for the bioelectronics medicine industry.

If driving, park in the Visitor’s section of Lot I – from the Waterview Parkway (on the West side of the campus), turn onto Drive “A”, (to the right if coming from the South, or left if coming from the North); then turn left at next intersection (Drive H) and then turn right into Lot I. The South Engineering & Computer Science Building (ECSS) where we will hold our meeting, is a short distance, just across the street.” Note: See http://www.utdallas.edu/maps/ for detailed map.
