Presenters: Dr. Jessica Bian and Dr. Karen Panetta
Overview
This transformative webinar explores the art of strategic influence as a cornerstone for professional growth and success. Participants will learn how to effectively persuade, inspire trust, and shape decisions through powerful communication and influence techniques. Whether you’re aiming to build your personal brand, advocate for change, or unlock new opportunities, this session equips you with the confidence and skills to take your career to new heights.
Presenter: Dr. Nozomi Nishimura
Overview
Navigating a career while developing leadership is a highly individualized process, and the “typical” path may not be the best model. If you are an introvert, there can be additional challenges. We will discuss some ideas and tips that could be effective in both academic and professional environments.
About the Presenter
Dr. Nozomi Nishimura is an Associate Professor in the Meinig School of Biomedical Engineering at Cornell University and develops optical tools for studying in vivo cell behaviors in disease. Her PhD is in physics from the University of California at San Diego with Prof. David Kleinfeld where she studied blood flow in the brain of rodents and developing laser-based models of small stroke. She came to Biomedical Engineering at Cornell in 2006 for a postdoc and later joined the faculty in 2013. To study the complex actions of cells in vivo, her lab develops intravital multiphoton microscopy imaging methods that reveal how cells function, move and interact. Injury triggers the recruitment and activation of many immune and inflammatory cell types that, together with the local cells, determine the course of the disease progression. The goal is to develop methods to visualize all of these cells at once and quantify cell actions and function. She applies these tools in many systems, but has particular interests in studying the effects of microvascular dysfunction in the brain. Her lab studies the role of microvascular occlusions in Alzheimer’s disease and neurodegeneration. These methods were recently adapted for the beating mouse heart providing new capabilities to study single cell function and cardiac microvasculature.
