 el Electric Current Application System for Therapeutic Applications"\n\n \n
 \nPresentation Abstract\n\nElectric current has been used in the treatment 
 of human diseases for more than 100 years in many different therapeutic are
 as\, such as neuromuscular regeneration and rehabilitation\, pain managemen
 t\, wound healing\, and non-invasive drug delivery. Despite its long histor
 y of medical use\, current clinical evidence shows that electric current-ba
 sed therapy has a limited and inconsistent efficacy. For some therapeutic a
 reas\, a limiting factor is the intensity of the electric current that can 
 be safely applied to biological tissues by conventional electrical stimulat
 ion devices. We have developed a novel electric current application system\
 , hydrogel ionic circuit (HIC) that can apply higher current intensities to
  biological tissues than conventional devices without causing tissue damage
 . We have shown that the high-intensity current applied by our system allow
 s us to significantly enhance the iontophoretic drug delivery efficiency an
 d the treatment efficacy of chronic wound biofilm infections. \n\n \n\nAbou
 t Dr. Zhao\n\nSiwei Zhao is an Assistant Professor and a Research Scientist
  in the Holland Regenerative Medicine Program and the Department of Surgery
  at UNMC. He received his B.S. in Microelectronics and his Ph.D. in Biomedi
 cal Engineering. He is highly motivated to pursue an interdisciplinary rese
 arch career at the interface of life science and engineering. His current r
 esearch interests include developing truly biologically matched electrical 
 systems to enhance the efficacy and safety of electrical stimulation-based 
 therapies for wound healing\, nerve regeneration\, pain management and drug
  delivery.
