Ep 5 - Edible & Implantable Electronics, Neuralink | an MIT Neuro-Engineer Khalil Ramadi Phd

In this episode, we are joined by Khalil Ramadi an MIT Graduate and an Assistant Professor of Bioengineering at NYUAD and Director of Translational medical device lab at NYU.

Prof. Khalil Ramadi is an Assistant Professor of Bioengineering at New York University Abu Dhabi and Director of the Laboratory for Advanced Neuroengineering and Translational Medicine (LANTRN Lab). He is also an affiliated Professor of Radiology at NYU Langone Health and Grossman School of Medicine and inaugural co-director of the NYU Abu Dhabi Center for Translational Medical Devices (CENTMED).

LANTRN Lab has locations in Abu Dhabi and New York and works on developing technologies that solve clinical problems and advance human health. Recent examples are ingestible electronic pills and implantable devices for drug delivery and neuromodulation, which were published in Nature Electronic and Science Robotics. This work has recently been supported through a $65M ARPA-H grant, with implications for treatment of gastrointestinal, neurologic, and metabolic disorders. CENTMED is focused on developing medical devices to advance diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular, neurologic, and metabolic conditions, in close collaboration with clinicians at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi.

Prof. Ramadi is a board member and former co-Director of MIT Hacking Medicine, a group dedicated to enabling multi-disciplinary health entrepreneurship worldwide. Hacking Medicine has spawned 50+ companies worldwide, raising $250M+ in funding. As a Co-Director, he Ramadi established long-term partnerships to seed innovation in various organizations such as the National Health Service in the UK. He has advised over 60 early-stage companies as a MIT Sandbox mentor, Faculty Advisor of the MIT IDEA2 Global Incubator, and Mentor in the MIT-UM6P Explorer/Accelerator. He is also a CIFAR Global Scholar in Innovation, Equity, and Future of Prosperity program, focusing on how innovation systems and processes can be designed in an equitable manner.

Prior to his faculty appointments, Prof. Ramadi was a NIH Ruth L. Kirschstein F32 postdoctoral fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH). Prof. Ramadi obtained his PhD in Biomedical Engineering and Medical Physics at MIT and Harvard Medical School, his MS in Mechanical Engineering from MIT, and BS degrees in Mechanical and Bioengineering from the Pennsylvania State University.
