The BRAIN community may be interested in an upcoming workshop on Monday, November 9, 2020, which will discuss obstacles to translation and safety considerations for clinical applications of focused ultrasound for neuromodulation in humans.
NIH is partnering with the Foundation for Focused Ultrasound at this year’s 7Th Annual Symposium in Focused Ultrasound (a virtual meeting). On Monday, November 9, 2020, from 3:15 PM – 4:45 PM Eastern Time, a workshop will discuss obstacles to translation and safety considerations for clinical applications of focused ultrasound for neuromodulation in humans.
This workshop will feature talks from speakers in the field of translational research on focused ultrasound, including perspectives from funding and regulatory bodies (i.e., NIH, FDA), researchers, and industry stakeholders. Speakers and panelists will include:
- Dr. Lizzy Ankudowich (NIMH);
- Drs. Ellen Bubrick and Bin He, providing translational research perspectives;
- Dr. Jamie Tyler, providing industry/small business perspective;
- Dr. Greg Clement and Ms. Pamela Scott, providing FDA/regulatory perspectives;
- Drs. Seung-Schik Yoo and David McMullen (NIMH), providing additional perspective.
Dr. Holly Lisanby, Director of the Division of Translational Research at NIMH, will be moderating the session.
