Episode Synopsis

Dr. Liz Wayne, Office Hours Host, is joined by Dr. Jessica Winter, Distinguished Professor of Engineering at The Ohio State University, as they explore how technology becomes life-changing diagnostics. Winter shares how quantum dot “tighter and brighter” labels are making leukemia and lymphoma testing faster and more sensitive, why earlier detection saves lives, and how her own breast cancer diagnosis sharpened her mission. They discuss teaming up with clinicians, and training the next generation to design with patients in mind. Plus: a “World Without BME” segment that reminds us why biomedical engineering touches everything.Connect with Us:Follow BMES on social media for more conversations like this:Twitter/X: @BMESocietyInstagram: @BmesocietyFacebook: Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES)LinkedIn: Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES)Website: www.bmes.orgFollow Dr. Jessica Winter's:Bluesky: @jessicaowinter.bsky.social‬Twitter/X: @Jessica WinterLinks to Jessica Winter's Work:go.osu.edu/winterlabMusic Credit: “Vlog Music Beat Trailer Showreel Promo Background Intro Theme” by Coma-Media via Pixabayhttps://pixabay.com/music/beats-vlog-music-beat-trailer-showreel-promo-background-intro-theme-274290/Don’t forget to subscribe, rate, and review Office Hours with Liz Wayne wherever you get your podcasts.
