[Bmeroundtable-list] REMINDER: It's SOCKtober!
by Gelfand, Johanna K 04 Nov '21

04 Nov '21

The collection box outside of MJIS 1021 to collect new, adult socks for the Lafayette Transitional Housing Center will be removed at the end of the day tomorrow. You have one more chance to help out. Did you know that socks are the #1 requested item for those who are homeless? Please help us help the more unfortunate individuals in our community, and get LTHC closer to their 10,000 pair goal! [https://bloomerang-bee.s3.amazonaws.com/images/clapton_cysx6cjdvalm_us_west…] It's our favorite month of the year SOCKtober! Over the next few weeks, LTHC is asking for your help to stock our sock shelves! We are hoping to collect 10,000 pairs of new, adult socks to help get us through the next few cold months. If you want to order online, please have them shipped to Attn: Jennifer Shook at LTHC Homeless Services, 815 North 12th Street, Lafayette, IN 47904. The Weldon School will have a drop-off box outside of MJIS 1021 for your convenience. Have questions? Email Jennifer<mailto:jshook@lthc.net?subject=SOCKtober> for help.

[cid:image004.jpg@01D7D181.AC795C60] Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Seminar Series Wednesday, November 10, 2021 9:30-10:20am MJIS 1001 https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/95028921977 Image-Guided Radiotherapy and Immunotherapy Strategies for Cancer [cid:image006.jpg@01D7D181.AC795C60] Matthew Scarpelli, Ph.D. Assistant Professor School of Health Sciences Purdue University Abstract: Radiotherapies and immunotherapies can provide survival benefits when used to treat cancer patients. However, there remain a number of patients for whom these treatments are ineffective. In this talk, medical imaging will be used to study these therapies and provide insight relating to why they might be ineffective in some patients but successful in others. The talk will include two sections: 1) application of existing medical imaging methods to improve therapy and 2) development of new medical imaging methods. It will focus on application of PET and MRI techniques. Bio: Dr. Matthew Scarpelli is an Assistant Professor within the School of Health Sciences at Purdue University. He obtained a B.S.E. degree in Nuclear Engineering and Radiologic Sciences from the University of Michigan and a Ph.D. degree in Medical Physics from the University of Wisconsin. He did his postdoctoral work at Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix Arizona. As a faculty at Purdue, his lab utilizes radiation as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool to treat disease. The lab is specifically interested in the interplay between radiation and the immune system. Studies aim to elucidate mechanisms of radiation induced immune suppression/ stimulation as well as develop new imaging techniques for assessing the immune system. ~BME Faculty Hosts: Drs.

[cid:image003.jpg@01D7CF2D.1791D470] Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Seminar Series Wednesday, November 3, 2021 9:30-10:20am MJIS 1001 https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/95028921977 From neuroscience images to numbers - describing the peripheral nervous system connectome through point pattern analysis and graph construction [cid:image004.png@01D7CF2D.1791D470] Bartek Rajwa, Ph.D. Associate Professor (Res.) of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics Bindley Bioscience Center, Purdue University Abstract: Despite the ongoing focus on mapping the central nervous system (CNS) connectome, the peripheral nervous system (PNS) architecture in general, and enteric nervous system (ENS) in particular, has been largely disregarded. Besides the studies performed using simple biological models, not much effort has been directed towards describing, quantifying, modeling, and understanding the topology and architecture of the PNS. This presentation will describe the work on mathematical characterization and generative modeling of PNS, focusing on modeling interganglionic networks in the colon and arrangements of axons in the vagus nerve. The study uses data from images of human and mouse tissue samples obtained through optical (confocal) and electron microscopy. The developed models use spatial point pattern analysis and graph generation tools to characterize the spatial and topological properties of the nerve fascicles in the vagus as well as ganglia (clusters of neurons and glial cells) and the inter-ganglionic connections in the colon. Specifically, the introduced approach employed a hybrid hardcore-Strauss process for describing and modeling spatial patterns and a planar random graph generation for constructing the spatially embedded network. The results show that proposed generative models may be helpful in both basic and translational studies and are sufficiently expressive to describe the nerve architectures of animals and humans who vary in age and health status. An increased understanding of the PNS architecture and connectome will lead to advancing neuromodulation strategies in treatment. It will also clarify anatomic diagnostic criteria for people with bowel and stomach motility disorders. Bio: Bartek Rajwa is a Research Associate Professor in the Bindley Bioscience Center at Purdue University, where he conducts studies on informatics of high-content imaging, biological-image analysis, high-throughput cytometry, biological pattern recognition, and applications of statistical machine learning in neuroscience, metabolomics, agriculture, and bioengineering. ~BME Faculty Host: Dr. Matthew Ward~ Sincerely, Cindy Holderbaum Senior Administrative Assistant & Schedule Deputy Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Martin C.
