In this talk, I will present studies carried over the last five years that aim at imaging the microvasculature anatomy and function using ultrasound technologies. Topics will cover cardiology and neuroscience applications, as well current research geared towards the development of acoustic reporter genes:
· Ultraharmonic intravascular ultrasound, a tool for vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque identification
· Ultrafast Doppler imaging of intramyocardial coronary arteries
· Ultrasound monitoring of cerebral hemodynamics after cardiac arrest
· Molecular engineering and nonlinear imaging of nanoscale acoustic biomolecules
Bio: David Maresca was born in June 1983 in Paris, France. He received Master degrees in Physics and Acoustics from Paris Diderot University in 2007. He 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 Centre, Rotterdam, the Netherlands, to carry a Ph.D. in contrast-enhanced intravascular ultrasound under the supervision of Prof. Nico de Jong and Prof. Ton van der Steen. In 2013, he pursued his career with a postdoctoral fellowship in ultrafast echocardiography at the Langevin Institute in Paris under the supervision of Prof. Mathieu Pernot and Prof. Mickael Tanter. He currently is HFSP Cross-disciplinary fellow at Caltech, carrying research in biomolecular ultrasound at the Shapiro Lab.
His research interests include ultrasound imaging of the microvasculature anatomy and function using contrast agents/reporter genes and ultrafast Doppler 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).
