| ORGANIZING COMMITTEE Dana Medlin, PhD Associate Professor Materials and Metallurgical Engineering Department (MET) South Dakota School of Mines & Technology Rapid City, South Dakota  A leading expert on materials for orthopedic applications who was previously principal engineer for Zimmer Inc., Medlin’s research is focused on minimally invasive surgical (MIS) procedures, which radically reduce the size of the surgical incision and potentially causes less damage to the soft tissue surrounding the replaced joint. Results of MIS include less postoperative pain, shorter hospital stays, faster recovery times and an overall lower cost to the health care system.Shuvo Roy, PhD Department of Biomedical Engineering (ND20) Lerner Research Institute Cleveland Clinic Cleveland, Ohio  Roy is Co-Director of the BioMEMS Laboratory at the Cleveland Clinic's Lerner Research Institute, Department of Biomedical Engineering.
