SUMMARY:Lifespan seminar: Blood brain barrier model for drug delivery and t
 oxicity testing for cerebrovascular diseases
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Sikha Saha\, Lecturer and MCRC Director of Impact and Innov
 ation\, University of Leeds\, Leeds\, UK\n\nHost: Terhi Heino\n\nCoffee/te
 a will be served at 13:00\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nDr Sikha Saha is a lecturer in Car
 diovascular Medicine &amp\; Director of Multidisciplinary Cardiovascular R
 esearch Centre Impact and Innovation\, University of Leeds\, Leeds\, LS2 9
 JT and she is a Biomedical Scientist with a background in Physiology and B
 iochemistry. Her research interests include investigations of novel target
 s\, metabolic profiling\, drug delivery\, toxicity testing and development
  of diagnostic tools for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases using
  novel in vitro organ flow system and in vivo mammalian models.\n\nDr Saha
 's most important scientific contributions to date are her innovative idea
 s of novel in vitro blood brain barrier and also developing biophotonic te
 chnologies for non-invasive or minimally invasive detection of biomarkers 
 in cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Her concept of novel in vitro bl
 ood brain barrier for biomarker analysis and drug delivery and toxicity te
 sting has led to successful collaboration with an industry and the Queen M
 ary University of London leading to a successful grant funding from the In
 novate UK which was co-funded by the BBSRC. She is the lead inventor of a 
 biomaker patent (PCT/GB2013/050560) which has been supported by the EPSRC-
 IAA funding\, Pharma Hub and digital Hub and is currently undergoing discu
 ssion with potential companies for licensing. She is also co-inventor of a
  laser based non-invasive glucose sensor technology (PCT/GB2013/050300)\, 
 which was broadcasted by Sky News\, BBC\, ITV and a number of national and
  international media.
