Lilit Garibyan, MD, PhD (Moderator)

1. Wellman Center for Photomedicine, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA 2. Department of Dermatology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA

Dr. Lilit Garibyan is a board-certified, practicing dermatologist and Associate Professor of dermatology at Harvard Medical School and Physician-Scientist at Wellman Center for Photomedicine at Massachusetts General Hospital. She has expertise in cutting edge translational research in areas of device development, dermatology, cutaneous neurobiology, adipose tissue, and immunology. She has spent 20+ years at Harvard Medical School, where she has taught and trained students, residents and fellows in dermatology, laser and energy-based devices, and in problem-based innovation. Her research focuses on innovative biomedical translational discoveries aimed at identifying unmet medical needs and working with multidisciplinary teams to develop novel treatments for those needs. Dr. Garibyan is an inventor on >16 pending and granted patents, has published over 60 original, peer-reviewed publications and has obtained over $5.3 million grant funding from Department of Defense and NIH for her innovative research. She is the inventor of a platform cooling technology with various therapeutic applications that has led to three venture-backed, start-up companies. She is the scientific co-founder of two of those companies.

Dr. Garibyan is the co-founder and the Director of the “Magic Wand Initiative” and the “Virtual Magic Wand” programs, which teach the process of innovation to clinicians. These internationally-recognized programs empower, engage, and teach healthcare professionals on how to identify unmet needs and collaborate to identify and implement solutions to problems. Dr Garibyan has given many national and international lectures on the topic of engaging clinicians in problem-based innovation. She had directed sessions and led workshops in national and international meetings designed to engage healthcare workers in innovation.

Dr. Garibyan received her B.S. summa cum laude from University of California Los Angeles, her M.D. from Harvard Medical School, and her Ph.D. from Harvard University in Experimental Pathology/Immunology.

Thomas Milner, PhD (Moderator)

Professor

Beckman Laser Institute, UC Irvine

Thomas Milner is the Director of the Beckman Laser Institute and Medical Clinic and a Professor in the Department of Surgery and Biomedical Engineering. Milner co-invented the dynamic cooling device that is used on laser dermatological surgical instruments worldwide. He is one of the early developers of optical coherence tomography - a diagnostic imaging technology used clinically in ophthalmology and cardiology. He is the recipient of the Coherent Young Investigator Award, numerous grants from the National Institutes of Health, and Inventor of the Year at the University of Texas at Austin. He is an inventor of 55 issued U.S. patents and five international patents that have been licensed to six companies. He is a co-founder of CardioSpectra and Dermalucent. He has authored over 200 peer-reviewed articles and twelve book chapters. Milner is a member of the National Academy of Inventors, and the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering and the American Society for Lasers in Medicine and Surgery.
