The Science of Translation: Perspectives from a Translation Scientist
Professor Israel Gannot is a Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Architecture, Head of the University Institute for Healthcare Technology, and an Adjunct Professor at Johns Hopkins University. He has held senior roles across academia, government and healthcare, including positions with the IDF Medical Corps, the FDA, NIH, NIST, and George Washington University.
Drawing on his extensive experience in biomedical innovation and translation, this presentation will explore the development of several emerging medical technologies, including a system for imaging pupil size and gaze through closed eyelids and an autonomous ICU ventilator that uses physiological data and digital twin technology to optimise patient care. It will also share insights from the translational research journey, highlighting key milestones, challenges and lessons learned in bringing innovative healthcare solutions closer to clinical practice.
