November Webinar

Date: November 5 (Tues)

Time: 12:00-1:00pm

Speakers: Maame A. Afrifa and Madison Bates, PhD Candidates in The College of Engineering

Maame Abena O. Afrifa is the Founder of NanoMed Adaptive Technologies. She is a University of Kentucky PhD Candidate in the Biomedical Engineering Department. NanoMed Adaptive Technologies is developing a skin patch that will deliver drugs in a more efficient way using a novel design that will assist patients suffering with inflammation. This tunable system would have the potential of delivering FDA approved drugs to the compromised sites topically and transdermally.

Madison Bates is the Founder of R.A.M Medical Device Co. She is a University of Kentucky PhD Candidate in the Biomedical Engineering Department. R.A.M. seeks to become a medical device manufacturing company, with their first product being a sensor glove to track hand movement for functional assessment in stroke patients. Currently, two prototypes have been produced and a third version of the glove is in development. Further validation studies with neuro-typical human participants are underway.
