From Future Doc to Healthcare Industry Disruptor: Alice Yan ‘19, ‘20

The FDA's oversight is crucial as it covers various aspects of the medical device industry, including the path to market, post-market surveillance, device recalls, and key definitions. Medical devices are categorized into Class I, II, and III, with each class subject to different levels of regulation. HTM professionals in healthcare organizations play an essential role in ensuring compliance with FDA guidelines to manage medical devices safely and efficiently, benefiting patient care outcomes.

The topic of today’s conversation is the Vagus nerve. In Latin, Vagus means wandering or straying, which this conversation does a fair bit of due to the interesting subject matter. Our guide on this path is Dr. Patrick Ganzer of the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis. Dr. Ganzer gives us a great overview of the vagus nerve including its possible evolutionary benefits, early explorations and its unique attributes. More importantly, Dr. Ganzer explains how the vagus nerve can be stimulated to open a window of neuro-plasticity and improve functional outcomes in spinal cord injury. We also talk about his research in phase 1 clinical trials and what is on the horizon.

Twenty million people worldwide were diagnosed with cancer in 2022. However, misdiagnoses, high costs, and the toxic side effects of some treatments are common roadblocks. Anant Madabhushi, a professor in the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech and Emory University, is using artificial intelligence to improve the diagnosis and treatment of certain cancers.
 
As the executive director of the Emory Empathetic AI for Health Institute, Madabhushi's research aims to expand access to testing and reduce the financial and emotional strain on patients and providers when developing treatment plans.

Medical imaging is a crucial component of healthcare, encompassing various techniques that provide essential insights into the body's internal structures and functions for accurate diagnosis and treatment. Government agencies like the FDA and NRC, along with accreditation bodies such as The Joint Commission and ACR, rigorously regulate medical imaging practices to ensure patient safety and high-quality care. These regulations encompass equipment safety, quality control, radiation protection, and staff training, with certified medical physicists and technologists playing key roles. Continuous quality assessment, adherence to safety principles, and swift response to safety alerts are integral in maintaining compliance. Medical imaging's stringent oversight guarantees patient welfare and optimal healthcare outcomes, all while upholding the principles of radiation safety through the expertise of health physicists and the vigilance of Radiation Safety Officers.

Chang Liu, UC Irvine professor of biomedical engineering, is a leader in the field of directed evolution, an effort to train genes to evolve in a laboratory in order to perform desired functions. Through this method of gene engineering, researchers hope to create new biological substances for use in pharmaceuticals and as cheaper and more environmentally responsible industrial catalysts. The work is also helping the scientific community build genetic knowledge for the benefit of bioengineering. 

Liu's research group has a new paper out in the journal Science in which they discuss improvements to their OrthoRep gene evolution platform. The system allows mutations to happen a million times faster than natural evolutionary time frames. In this episode of the UCI Podcast, speaks with UC Irvine communicator Brian Bell about the findings detailed in the paper. 

Musical accompaniment to this podcast episode is Bach’s E Major Fugue from the Well-Tempered Clavier Book 2, played by Professor Liu.
