Major diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disorders, neurodegeneration, and diabetes and risk factors such as obesity, and aging are often studied and treated in isolation. Yet, each of them may be related, causally or otherwise, to one another. Therefore, facilitating crosstalk among these different disciplines fosters multidisciplinary collaboration and helps devise innovative and effective approaches to target those diseases.

To realize the full potential of team science, experts from disparate yet connected fields will be brought together to facilitate transdisciplinary dialogues under one common theme — “Web of Life: Connecting the Dots.” This collaboration will significantly impact and improve the way we engage communities, treat patients, foster collaboration and facilitate groundbreaking discoveries.
This two-day Web of Life Conference was hosted for the first time by the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences in Oklahoma City April 25 – 26, 2024.

The Web of Life Conference is chaired by Priyabrata Mukherjee, Ph.D. and Resham Bhattacharya, both leaders at OU Health Stephenson Cancer Center. For more information, click here.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) has announced the induction of Resham Bhattacharya, Ph.D., Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at University of Oklahoma to its College of Fellows.

Election to the AIMBE College of Fellows is among the highest professional distinctions accorded to medical and biological engineers, comprised of the top two percent of engineers in these fields. College membership honors those who have made outstanding contributions to “engineering and medicine research, practice, or education” and to “the pioneering of new and developing fields of technology, making major advancements in traditional fields of medical and biological engineering or developing/implementing innovative approaches to bioengineering education.”

Professor Bhattacharya was nominated, reviewed, and elected by peers and members of the College of Fellows “for her pioneering BMI1 research in ovarian cancer, leading to clinical trials and key insights into cellular uptake and delivery…. Continue reading.
