IEEE UFFC SEATTLE – TECH TALK – Treating Childhood Depression with Ultrasound

The Seattle Chapter of the IEEE Ultrasonics, Ferrroelectrics, and Frequency Control Society (UFFC-S) aims to provide UFFC-S members with opportunities for professional and personal growth as well as network with the local, vibrant UFFC community. Our speaker for our December Tech Talk will be Dr. Pierre Mourad from the University of Washington. Dr. Mourad is a Professor in the Department of Neurological Surgery at UW Seattle as well as a Professor in the Department of Engineering and Mathematics at UW Bothell. Dr. Mourad’s primary research interest is using bioengineering principles, particularly diagnostic and therapeutic ultrasound, to make scientific and therapeutic advances in neurosurgery. Applications blood-brain barrier disruption for drug delivery, acceleration of recovery of peripheral nerve injuries, novel means of imaging brain diseases and disorders, and localization of pain generators. Dr. Mourad will present “A view towards the next frontier in treating childhood depression with low intensity focused ultrasound (LIFUS).” This meeting will be at the University of Washington in Seattle.
