Schedule
Keynote speaker
Teresa Mihalik – Main Stage @ 2:30pm EST/11:30am PST
McGill B.Eng (1998) and M.Eng (2000), Mechanical Engineering
Senior Director, Biomedical Innovation, Agile MV
Teresa Mihalik has spent more than 20 years in the medical device industry. Her most notable achievement has been as principal engineer and developer of the Arctic Front® Cardiac CryoAblation Catheter System, a minimally invasive balloon-based catheter technology that permanently blocks the conduction of atrial fibrillation by the application of cryogenics to cardiac tissue. The Arctic Front® catheter was awarded the prestigious R&D 100 seal in 2011, one year after it was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The device has now been used to treat more than 1,000,000 patients worldwide and has become standard of care for atrial fibrillation ablation. She has more than 30 issued U.S. patents, multiple correlating patents and applications in Canada, Europe, and China, and a number of external publications and conference abstracts. She has also co-authored a book chapter on thermodynamic principles of cryogenic-based catheter ablation. Teresa holds a bachelor’s and master’s degree from McGill University in Montréal, Québec, and graduated with honors in the discipline of mechanical engineering.
