DESCRIPTION:Dr David Maresca\, Caltech\nIn this talk\, I will present st
 udies carried over the last five years that aim at imaging the microvascu
 lature anatomy and function using ultrasound technologies. Topics will c
 over cardiology and neuroscience applications\, as well current research 
 geared towards the development of acoustic reporter genes:\n\n·      
  Ultraharmonic intravascular ultrasound\, a tool for vulnerable atherosc
 lerotic plaque identification\n·       Ultrafast Doppler imaging of i
 ntramyocardial coronary arteries\n·       Ultrasound monitoring of c
 erebral hemodynamics after cardiac arrest\n·       Molecular enginee
 ring and nonlinear imaging of nanoscale acoustic biomolecules\n\nBio: Dav
 id Maresca was born in June 1983 in Paris\, France. He received Master d
 egrees in Physics and Acoustics from Paris Diderot University in 2007. H
 e was appointed for a year as research scientist at the Philips High Tech
  Campus\, Eindhoven\, the Netherlands\, working on acoustic fluid lenses 
 for ultrasound imaging. In 2008\, he joined Erasmus University Medical C
 entre\, Rotterdam\, the Netherlands\, to carry a Ph.D. in contrast-enhanc
 ed intravascular ultrasound under the supervision of Prof. Nico de Jong 
 and Prof. Ton van der Steen. In 2013\, he pursued his career with a post
 doctoral fellowship in ultrafast echocardiography at the Langevin Institu
 te in Paris under the supervision of Prof. Mathieu Pernot and Prof. Mick
 ael Tanter. He currently is HFSP Cross-disciplinary fellow at Caltech\, c
 arrying research in biomolecular ultrasound at the Shapiro Lab.\n\nHis r
 esearch interests include ultrasound imaging of the microvasculature ana
 tomy and function using contrast agents/reporter genes and ultrafast Dop
 pler technologies\, as well as the sociology of innovation in ultrasound 
 technology. He was awarded the 2013 Young Investigator Award of European 
 Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (EFSUMB)\,
  the 2015 Young Investigator Award of the EuroEcho Imaging symposium 
 – Basic Science category\, and a Cross-disciplinary fellowship from the
  Human Frontier Science Program (March 2016).
