FOREWORD and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT 

On behalf of the 2012 Summer Bioengineering Conference Organizing Committee, welcome to the 14 th 

Summer Bioengineering Conference (SBC), the flagship meeting of the Bioengineering Division of the 

American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). The SBC is a great opportunity for our community to 

come together to discuss outstanding research, see old friends, and meet and network with new friends 

and colleagues. This is the very first time that the SBC is being held outside the continental United States, 

and we hope that you enjoy beautiful El Conquistador resort and surrounding Puerto Rico! Take 

advantage of all that the resort and area have to offer. 

This year, we have selected The Art and Science of Imaging as it applies to biomechanical engineering 

as our theme. Medical imaging is fast becoming an essential tool, both for making fundamental discoveries 

and for translating them to clinical use. This year, for the first, time, SBC will highlight the theme of Imaging 

as a way to educate and inspire our attendees to consider the use and integration of imaging in the various 

biomechanical engineering disciplines. Dr. Mark Henkelman will deliver an exceptional plenary lecture 

entitled “Genes into Geometry: Genetics of Development and Disease through Mouse Imaging”. Dr 

Henkelman is a Professor at the University of Toronto, a Canada Research Chair, and Director of the 

Mouse Imaging Center at Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children. He is an internationally recognized pioneer 

in magnetic resonance flow and motion imaging, and lately has turned his attention to “phenogenomics”: 

using various imaging technologies to phenotype mice as a critical complement to genome research. 

Submissions to this year’s conference remained numerous and excellent. We again have a full program of 

over 650 outstanding contributed papers, posters, and workshops. As always, a particular highlight of the 

conference is the student paper presentations and competition, with 99 finalists presenting in the Bachelor, 

Masters, and Doctoral levels. The 2012 SBC will pay tribute to the achievements of Lloyd Back, Ken Diller 

and Robert Spilker through special podium sessions in their honor within their technical areas of 

contribution to our community. We are also excited to bring back the Undergraduate Student Design 

Competition, the Grand Challenge to Predict Knee Loads, and to introduce a new Computational Fluid 

Dynamics Challenge. Several workshops will be presented, ranging from applications of imaging to 

biomechanics, bioengineering education, medical device translation, and career advice for new faculty. 

A plenary session will highlight the ASME H.R. Lissner medal winner and a special workshop session will 

highlight the ASME Van C. Mow and Y.C. Fung medal winners. This year we have the pleasure to 

acknowledge the accomplishments and valued participation in the Bioengineering Division of David Butler 

(University of Cincinnati) as the winner of the Lissner Medal for his leadership in establishing success 

criteria for functional tissue engineering of damaged and diseased musculoskeletal tissues. The winner of 

the Mow medal for accomplishments at the mid-career level is John Bischof (University of Minnesota) for 

his contributions of biotransport and nanomedicine to diagnosis and treatment of cancer, cardiovascular 

disease, reproduction, and regenerative medicine. Marissa Nichole Rylander (Virginia Technological 

Institute) is the winner of the Fung award for her work on bioheat transfer, nanomedicine, biomedical 

optics, tissue regeneration, and cancer engineering. Please join us in congratulating each of the awardees. 

We would particularly like to thank and recognize the tremendous efforts of the members of the SBC2012 

Organizing Committee, Program Committee, session chairs, workshop organizers and the many reviewers 

who worked hard to bring us this high-quality program. We are fortunate to receive financial sponsorship 

from our industry sponsors listed in the program as well as the National Institutes of Health (NIBIB) and the 

National Science Foundation (CBET, GARDE). Finally, we appreciate the support and guidance provided 

by the ASME Bioengineering Division Executive Committee, chaired by John Bischof. 

Welcome to Puerto Rico!

PLENARY SESSION, WORKSHOPS, CHALLENGES AND TOUR 

Thursday, June 21, 2012 8:00 AM – 9:00 AM 

Plenary Session: GENES INTO GEOMETRY: 

GENETICS OF DEVELOPMENT AND DISEASE THROUGH 

MOUSE IMAGING 

Mark Henkelman, PhD 

Hospital for Sick Children, University of Toronto 

- 5 - 


Grand Atlantic 

Salon 1 

The completion of the human genome sequence 

provides an incredible opportunity to revolutionize 

health care. However, our understanding of how genes 

give rise to normal development in individuals and also 

to many diseases is still very rudimentary. To reap the 

benefits of the rich genomic information, it will be 

necessary to learn how genes control both normal and 

abnormal development. 

Fortunately, there is 99% overlap between the genes of 

the human and the genes of the mouse. There are 

sophisticated methods for manipulating the mouse 

genome by knocking out genes, making their 

expression conditional or adding new genes. This genetic modification allows for the creation of 

models of many of the diseases found in the human population. To investigate mouse models of 

human disease, it is necessary to have the same kind of diagnostic tests that we have available 

when we look for human diseases. In particular, imaging is an essential way to identify and 

characterize human diseases. In fact, it is difficult to imagine modern medicine without medical 

imaging. 

This plenary talk will illustrate how medical imaging can be adapted to the mouse and how it can 

be used to identify the role of different genes in normal development and additionally find mouse 

models that correspond to human diseases. This systems biology approach to the genetics of 

disease requires knowledge and skills readily available within the biomedical engineering 

community, and hence provides exciting new opportunities for research and development related 

to biomechanical function in diseases.


Thursday, June 21, 2012 3:00 PM – 4:30 PM 

Challenge: UNDERGRADUATE DESIGN COMPETITION IN 

REHABILITATIVE AND ASSISTIVE DEVICES 

- 6 - 

Vieques 

Organizers: Lorin Maletsky (University of Kansas), Martin Tanaka (Western Carolina University) 

The top six finalist teams in the undergraduate design competition in rehabilitation and assistive 

technologies will present their final projects. These six design projects were evaluated and 

selected based on a proposal submitted in January, and their presentations will now be judged 

to identify the top final project. Funding to help the teams with their projects and travel expenses 

was provided by the National Science Foundation. 

Challenge: COMPUTATIONAL FLUIDS DYNAMICS CHALLENGE Palominito 

Organizers: David A. Steinman (University of Toronto), Francis Loth (University of Akron) 

The Challenge centers on a giant cerebral aneurysm with proximal stenosis. This case derives 

from a study by Cebral et al. and was chosen for its clinical relevance and because questions 

were raised about the CFD predictions. This Challenge aims to test the sensitivity of steady and 

pulsatile pressure drops as predicted by different CFD solvers or groups, and against in vitro 

pressure measurements. Response to an open call for participation was impressive, with 27 

groups from around the world submitting preliminary results spanning a wide range of CFD 

approaches. Participants have been blinded to each other's findings and the experimental 

results, all of which will be revealed and summarized at the workshop in aggregated form. There 

will also be a roundtable discussion about the challenges of holding this Challenge, as well as 

plans for further Challenges. Time-permitting, a few participants will briefly introduce their CFD 

methods and verification strategies. After the workshop, participants will help draft a manuscript 

for submission to the ASME Journal of Biomechanical Engineering. 

Challenge: GRAND CHALLENGE COMPETITION TO PREDICT IN 

VIVO KNEE LOADS 

Icaco 

Organizers: B.J. Fregly (University of Florida), Darryl D'Lima (Shiley Center for Orthopaedic 

Research & Education at Scripps Clinic) 

This annual competition provides the musculoskeletal modeling research community with the 

unique opportunity to evaluate its muscle and contact force predictions for the knee. Each year, 

experimental movement data collected from a subject implanted with a force-measuring knee 

replacement are made available to competitors. Data are collected for gait and other movement 

tasks and include surface marker motion, ground reaction force, muscle EMG activity, muscle 

strength, CT/MR, and tibial tray contact force. The implant contact force measurements are 

withheld for the gait trials, and competitors use musculoskeletal models to predict medial and 

lateral contact forces in a blinded fashion for two specified gait trials. The winning team is 

selected based on prediction accuracy and modeling novelty and receives a $1000 cash award. 

This annual competition is sponsored by the Dynamics, Design, and Rehabilitation Technical 

Committee and by the NIH National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering under 

grant R01EB009351.

Friday, June 22, 2012 7:30 AM – 9:00 AM 

Workshop: 4D PHASE CONTRAST MAGNETIC RESONANCE 

(4D PCMR) FOR VISUALIZING HEMODYNAMICS 

- 7 - 


Palominito 

Organizers: David Steinman (University of Toronto), Yannis Papaharilaou (Foundation for 

Research and Technology, Hellas), John Oshinski (Emory University) 

Participants: Michael Markl (Northwestern University), Alex Frydrychowicz (UKSH, Germany), 

Oliver Wieben (University of Wisconsin-Madison), Petter Dyverfeldt (University of California San 

Francisco) 

Time-resolved, 3D phase contrast MRI (so-called 4D PCMRI) has emerged in recent years as a 

method for quantifying complex flow patterns in-vivo. This workshop aims to introduce 

participants to the theory and current applications of 4D PCMRI, summarize the advantages as 

well as challenges of using the technique, and outline future directions. A goal is also to have an 

interactive exchange on the role of 4D PCMR and CFD for visualizing and quantifying vascular 

hemodynamics. Important points to be touched on are: 

• Background on acquisition methods 

• Clinical applications and physician interest 

• Wall shear stress measurements from 4D PCMR 

• Pressure gradient measurements from 4D PCMR 

• Commonalities with CFD: post-processing, visualization 

• Opportunities/challenges for integrating 4D PCMR with CFD 

Workshop: TEACHING CELL & TISSUE ENGINEERING Icaco 

Organizers: Kristen Billiar (Worcester Polytechnic Institute), Roland Kaunas (Texas A&M), Ali 

Khademhosseini (MIT/Harvard), Rob Mauck (University of Pennsylvania) 

Participants: Roland Kaunas (Texas A&M), Rob Mauck (University of Pennsylvania), Nate 

Sniadecki (University of Washington), Virginia Ferguson (University of Colorado) 

The annual ASME-BED conference is increasingly defined by top-rate students presenting in the 

domain of cell and tissue engineering. However, there are few defined curricula in this area. It is 

therefore imperative that we establish the most appropriate framework for teaching this material 

to our students to prepare them for graduate study and effective entrance into the workforce. 

The goals of this workshop are thus to define what it is that our community (AMSE-BED 

attendees) currently teaches in this area, to determine the most appropriate content, and to 

define how this content is best conveyed at various educational levels. The workshop will 

consist of an overview of existing methods/tools for teaching, presentations by leaders in the 

field who teach in this area, and a panel discussion. A white paper on this topic will be 

formulated based on this workshop, and submitted to the Journal of Biomechanical Engineering 

to disseminate this consensus to our broader community.


Chair: Ken Diller (University of Texas, Austin) 

VAN C. MOW AND Y.C. FUNG AWARDEE LECTURES Vieques 

Two presentations will be made during this workshop: The 2012 Van C. Mow Medal Awardee, 

John Bischof (University of Minnesota) will present “Multiscale biotransport: Extreme 

temperatures in tissues, cells and nanoparticles for improved treatment of disease.” The 2012 

Y.C. Fung Medal Awardee, Marissa Nichole Rylander (Virginia Tech) will present “Tissue 

Engineering and Nanotheranostics of Cancer.” 

Friday, June 22, 2012 2:30PM – 7:00 PM 

Workshop: ABAQUS SCRIPTING COURSE Palominito 

Chairs: Jiang Yao & Rene Spunger (Dassault Systèmes Simulia Corp.) 

The objective of this seminar is to provide an introduction to the Python scripting language and 

to demonstrate how researchers can integrate it with the Abaqus product line. At the end of the 

seminar, the participants should be comfortable in writing moderately complex scripts and 

should know where to look for additional information. By reviewing many examples, insight is 

provided on how scripting can be used to customize Abaqus in order to meet specific needs of 

typical engineering organizations.

Medical), David Olivera, Dymarie Donatiu (Medtronic), Ram Devireddy (Lousiana State 

University), Jeff Bischoff (Zimmer, Inc) 

Manufacturing of medical devices is an essential step in the translation of biomedical research 

and development into the health care system, and presents a unique set of engineering 

challenges. However, exposure to modern manufacturing practice is often not encountered in 

biomedical engineering curricula. Several major biomedical companies have active 

manufacturing plants in Puerto Rico, including Medtronic and St Jude Medical. Individual tours 

will be coordinated to each of these sites, within an hour of Fajardo, to expose attendees to the 

state-of-the-art in contemporary device manufacturing.

Palominito 

Organizers: Corey Neu (Purdue University), Guy Genin (Washington University in St. Louis) 

Participants: Gil Lee (University College, Dublin), Andrés García (Georgia Tech), Nathan 

Sniadecki (University of Washington), Philip V. Bayly (Washington University in St. Louis) 

This workshop will explore imaging technologies for the investigation of biological tissues, cells, 

and molecules within a mechanical context. The workshop will present emerging and 

established technologies spanning multiple length scales, and will include AFM probing of single 

molecule mechanics, nanopatterning assays to study molecular adhesion, soft lithography 

techniques to study mechanics over hierarchies from the cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix, 

and magnetic resonance methods to relate structure and mechanics in tissues and organs. 

Workshop: BRINGING ASSISTIVE DEVICE DESIGNS TO 

MARKET 

Organizer: Ken Fischer (University of Kansas) 

Participants: Stephen Sundarrao (University of South Florida and CEO of Rehab Ideas, Inc.), 

Sandy McCombe-Waller (University of Maryland School of Medicine), Scott Daigle (Co-founder 

of IntelliWheels, Inc.) 

Icaco 

Assistive devices may be designed/developed either through student capstone design projects 

or through fundamental research projects that support their efficacy. Such rehabilitation devices 

may have excellent design features, but the majority of designs never make it to point of 

commercialization and availability to the rehabilitation market. This workshop presents three 

individuals whose concepts were developed in academia and who have successfully 

commercialized products stemming from a senior capstone design course, a research project, 

and graduate school vision. Each speaker will discuss their journey from initial motivation and 

design concept through to commercialization. They will focus on sources of funding to move the 

design forward and will detail specific challenges or obstacles they met and how they overcame 

them. There will be time for questions from the audience, including a panel discussion. 

Workshop: TIPS FOR TENURE IN BIOENGINEERING Vieques 

Chair: Thomas J. Perry, P.E. (ASME) 

This workshop is an opportunity for graduate students, aspiring engineering faculty and entrylevel 

tenure track faculty to explore behind the scenes and gain from the academic career 

starting/building experience of featured department heads and senior faculty. Particular 

emphasis will be given to specific issues in building a successful career in bioengineering and 

bio-related mechanical engineering. 

The session will be highly conversational in format and can address topics such as searching 

and interviewing for faculty positions; selecting & negotiating your faculty position; balancing


research, teaching & service requirements; preparing the tenure dossier; tenure & promotion at 

Ph.D. & Non-Ph.D. granting Institutions; and the role and involvement w/professional societies. 

Career development discussion topics such as factors to consider in choosing an academic 

career, proposal writing, building an industry-funded research program, NSF and other funding 

opportunities will also be featured as requested by participants. 

Workshop: BIOTRANSPORT EDUCATION Siete Mares 

Organizers: Christopher Rylander (Virginia Tech), Rupak K. Banerjee (University of Cincinnati) 

Participants: Sankha Bhowmick (University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth), Kenneth Diller 

(University of Texas, Austin), Bumsoo Han (Purdue University), Xiaoming He (Ohio State 

University), Yaling Liu (Lehigh University), Nichole Rylander (Virginia Tech), Malisa 

Sarntinoranont (University of Florida) 

There is a need for comprehensive courses related to Biotransport Education that can be 

offered at the undergraduate and graduate levels. This workshop will allow efficient exchange of 

teaching ideas between diverse institutions involving complex topics of biotransport. This will 

be accomplished by having experts share their own successes and failures and permitting 

questions by the audience consisting of students and faculty. This workshop will broadly 

disseminate successfully proven methods for teaching this interdisciplinary topic to students at 

the undergraduate and graduate level; thus allowing development of more unified teaching 

material such as syllabus, textbook, and course documentation. Funding provided by the 

Biomedical Engineering Program of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport 

(CBET) Systems at the National Science Foundation.

IN MEMORIAM 

The biomechanics community has lost a great scientist, mentor, leader and friend this year. We 

honor the contributions of our friend and colleague. 

Christian Oddou 

(1938-2011) 

Christian Oddou was Professor of Mechanics at the University Paris 12 at Créteil where he created and a 

research laboratory on Biomechanics (Laboratory of Mechanics & Physics) which he directed for many 

years. He also served as Dean of the School of Science of Paris 12 University. A great believer in 

international cooperation, he was one of the founding members of the World Council for Biomechanics. His 

field of research dealt with the biomechanics of the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems with 

applications to clinical investigations and to the conception of artificial organs. With his collaborators, he 

designed new analytical and numerical methods coupled to specific experiments in order to characterize 

the mechanical properties of biological systems and tissues. He has thus proposed original methods to 

evaluate and reproduce the behavior of soft biological materials, which necessitate a multiscale analysis. 

His tensegrity model of the cell is one example of this approach. Recently his research interest were turned 

towards the micromechanics of cells with applications to tissue engineering, bone remodeling, skin 

reconstruction and repair, design of artificial connective tissue for orthopedics. His research was at the 

cross road between multiscale physics and mechanics and orthopedic surgery. Christian had an immense 

scientific culture that he shared willingly with his colleagues and students. He always had the good 

question at a thesis defense, congress presentation or council meeting. We will remember him as the kind, 

enthusiastic and merry colleague that he was.

Realistic Human Simulation for 

Biomedical Innovation 

The human body is a very complex system and poses 

many challenges for researchers and engineers to build 

an accurate virtual human. Understanding the intricacies 

of the cardiovascular, musco-skeletal, organs, muscles, 

and hard and soft tissues is critical to be successful. 

SIMULIA’s scalable portfolio of simulation solutions 

including the Abaqus product suite for Unified 

Finite Element Analysis address the challenges and 

requirements of making realistic human simulation 

an integral part of the product development process. 

This new frontier of innovation enables researchers and 

engineers to explore and improve product performance.
