Join the Department of Biomedical Engineering for the first installment of the 2026 BME Distinguished Seminar Series featuring Michael Cho, Ph.D., Chair and Professor of Bioengineering at University of Texas at Arlington, on Monday, February 16, 2026 at 11 a.m. Dr. Cho will present Repurposed Therapeutics for Vascular Stabilization: From Traumatic Brain Injury to Tumor Therapy. Dr. Cho is a professor of bioengineering and serves as Chair of the Department of Bioengineering at the University of Texas at Arlington. His research program integrates engineering innovation with biomedical science to address critical challenges in human health, with a primary focus on the mechanisms and mitigation of blunt force brain tissue injuries. In addition, his group is advancing the development of therapeutic strategies for diabetes, which have resulted in U.S. patents, with additional patent applications currently pending. Over the course of his career, Dr. Cho has established a distinguished record of scholarship, au…

The Department of Biomedical Engineering at UT Southwestern Medical Center invites you to attend a 2026 BME Distinguished Seminar Series featuring James Duncan, Ph.D., Chair of the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Yale University. Dr. Duncan will present Neuroimage Analysis in Autism: from Model-Based Estimation to Data-driven Learning. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been shown to be helpful for the study of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). This talk will describe the evolution of efforts in this area within our group that carry promise for producing objective biomarkers for ASD, as well as predicting patient response to a behavioral therapy known as Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT), using task-based fMRI. Such biomarkers would provide an important step for better understanding the underlying pathophysiology of ASD that could help with objective and personalized diagnosis, provide new targets for development of new treatments, and provide a way to monitor patient progress.

Please join our in-person community forum discussing the FFP In Traumatic BRAin INjury (FIT-BRAIN) Trial. What is the FIT-BRAIN Trial? “Multi-institutional Phase 2/3 Trial of Fresh Frozen Plasma (FFP) in Patients with Moderate to Severe Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)” or FIT-BRAIN Trial is a research study that will look at how plasma (the colorless fluid part of blood) given to traumatic brain injury patients soon after injury will affect the brain, and see if it will help in their injury recovery. We need help from our community! We are participating in a U.S. study to see if plasma, the clear part of blood, given soon after arrival in the emergency department can improve survival in patients who have suffered a traumatic brain injury. You will have a chance to speak with the physician leading this trial, ask questions, and learn about trauma research.  Presenter: Dr. Linda Dultz, Program Director of UT Southwestern’s surgical critical care fellowship and Medical Director of Parkland Hospita…
