Haritha George, a research assistant in the Regenerative Medicine and Disability Laboratory of the Department of Biomedical Sciences, received the prestigious travel award from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society International Body Sensors Network. This award includes an invitation to present her research at the International Conference on Body Sensor Networks – NextGen Health: Sensor Innovation, AI, and Social Responsibility.
George is a graduate student in the UIC Richard and Loan Hill Department of Biomedical Engineering working on the PhD thesis “Intelligent Salivary Biosensors for Systemic Disease Risk Prediction,” at the Regenerative Medicine and Disability Research Lab at UIC College of Medicine Rockford under the mentorship of Dr. Mathew T. Mathew.
She is presenting her poster on “Stroke Risk Prediction with Salivary Biomarkers and Electrochemical Biosensor : A Proof-of-Concept Study.”
“I am very grateful and honored to be one of the recipients of this prestigious award from IEEE BSN,” says George. “I thank the committee for the kind consideration of my application, my mentors Dr. Mathew and Dr. Russell, and the Department of Biomedical Engineering and the Department of Biomedical Sciences. This award will serve as an invaluable inspiration for my PhD research and also for our research team.”
