On Wednesday, 27, July 2022, the Center for Biomedical Research (CBR) of the Dr. Anwarul Abedin Institute of Innovation, American International University – Bangladesh (AIUB) in collaboration with the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society AIUB Chapter successfully hosted a Seminar titled - “Biomedical Research for Sustainable Development”. The objective of this seminar was to offer a series of useful opinions involving the opportunities and obstacles of researching and developing methods to increase sustainability in the biomedical field. Prof. Dr. Md. Abdul Mannan, Director, Faculty of Engineering, AIUB; inaugurated the seminar. At first, he welcomed everyone, and he talked briefly about the field of Biomedical Engineering and the importance of sustainability.
The first speaker of the event was Dr. Mohammad Hasan Imam, Associate Professor, Faculty of Engineering, AIUB. The speaker briefly explained the objectives of his session and explained IEEE EMBS to everyone. He later discussed the sustainability goals published by United Nations (UN) (3 and 9). He reviewed the Bangladeshi perspective of biomedical engineering and explained various technics of Biomedical imaging, rehabilitation engineering, pacemakers, and sensor-based early disease detection systems. In the second half, the other speaker Associate Professor Dr. Humayra Fredous, Deputy Director, Center for Biomedical Research (CBR), Dr. Anwarul Abedin Institute of Innovation & Head-in-Charge, Department of Physics, AIUB; discussed the current scenario of the biomedical field and showed some illustrations of how medical technology works currently in the global arena. She briefly discussed Neural Fields Theory, Brain dynamics, Linear Accelerator, Nuclear Medicine Biophysics, and methodologies regarding different research approaches in the Biomedical sector. Subsequently, she discussed UN sustainable development goals No. 3, 4, and 17 and showed how these goals can help to improve the effectiveness of Biomedical technology.
Afterward, Prof. Dr. Md. Abdur Rahman, Associate Dean, Faculty of Engineering & Director, Dr. Anwarul Abedin Institute of Innovation, AIUB and Prof. Dr. Md. Abdul Mannan, Director, Faculty of Engineering, AIUB; presented tokens of appreciation to the honorable speakers. At the end of the seminar, the closing speech was given by Prof. Dr. Md. Abdur Rahman where he addressed the ethical aspects of the engineering field and thanked the honorable speakers.
