Join the ASME DC Section in recognition of World Neglected Tropical Disease (NTD) Day for a compelling talk with Dr. Becky Byler, biomedical engineer and epidemiologist.
Dr. Byler will walk us through her career pathway and explore the critical role engineers play in advancing NTD research. Her work sits at the intersection of biomedical engineering, public health, and global health equity, highlighting how engineering innovation can drive meaningful impact for underserved populations.
Topics will include:
· Biocompatible materials and nanotechnology
· 3D bioprinting and tissue engineering
· Patient-specific modeling
· Drug delivery systems
· Applications across the skin, heart, female reproductive system, and liver
· Case studies spanning Chagas disease, leishmaniasis, and shistosomiasis
