    Biography

    Boston University

    Ed Damiano is an associate professor in biomedical engineering whose lab is engaged in basic scientific research that combines mathematical modeling, computational analysis, and experimental investigations across length scales ranging from macromolecular assemblies, cellular mechanics, and microscale biofluidics to cardiovascular fluid mechanics and the biomechanics of vestibular sensory systems. Their microvascular research activities integrate fluid dynamics with intravital microscopy to study blood flow in the microcirculation and to elucidate mechanisms by which the lining of blood vessels determines vascular health and disease. Professor Damiano’s current work is focused on creating an artificial “bionic” pancreas that automatically regulates blood glucose in Type 1 diabetes.
