<h3><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Abstract<o:p></o:p></span></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Buckeye Sans 2"">Children comprise roughly 27% of the world’s population; yet pediatric trials make up 17% of the total number of clinical trials registered
with the World Health Organization, and only 7% of clinical trials involve newborns. Therapies intended for use in children can take up to 7 years longer to go from the first clinical trial in adults to the first trial in children; often, many approved adult
therapeutics are used off-label for children. These numbers highlight a significant gap in technological development for the neonatal and pediatric populations, particularly in technology that focuses on improving therapeutic outcomes for children and newborns
with a range of conditions. Our research seeks to develop and evaluate therapeutic delivery systems for newborns and children, who have unique physiologies compared to adults. We focus specifically on engineering therapeutics that mitigate or attenuate ongoing
injury in the brain, with the goal of improving neurological function and quality of life across the lifespan. As part of this work, we have developed living brain tissue models that are tunable to different stimuli and that capture the regional complexity
and variability in response to injury and treatment. </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Buckeye Sans 2";color:black">In this talk, I will discuss our use of whole hemisphere brain slices to evaluate cellular-extracellular changes in the brain
microenvironment and screen therapeutics, including nanotherapeutics. </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Buckeye Sans 2"">I will show key design considerations that increase nanoparticle uptake and transport within the brain<span style="background:white">

<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Buckeye Sans 2"">Dr. Elizabeth Nance joined the University of Washington in 2015 and is the Jagjeet & Janice Bindra Career Development Endowed Associate Professor & Associate Chair in Chemical Engineering, Associate
Professor of Bioengineering, and adjunct professor in Radiology and the eScience Institute. Elizabeth received her B.S. in Chemical Engineering from NC State University, and her Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University in Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering with
Dr. Justin Hanes, with a focus on nanotherapies for brain cancer. She completed a postdoc with Dr. Sujatha Kannan in Anesthesiology & Critical Care Medicine at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, with training in neuroscience, neonatal brain disease, and animal
model development. Elizabeth’s research program supports the development of trainees in engineering clinically relevant models and technologies for neonatal and pediatric brain disease.
