TechTopics
There is still time to register to attend TechTopics! Our next event is on Tuesday, April 20 from 11-12pm via Zoom. Our speakers are Dr. Yan Li and Dr. Tristan Driscoll from the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering.
Their research targets the human body, specifically regarding treatment of stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis and brain tumors. Additionally, their studies can help us understand the critical role cells play in sensing and responding to mechanical forces from their environment resulting in diseases like fibrosis, cardiovascular disease, and degenerative disc disease.
World Health Day is in April so this is a great time to learn and understand more about our bodies to keep us healthy! To register to attend the event, please click here.
