Qiuhong He, PhD, Associate Professor of Health Sciences at Purdue will present “In Vivo Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Imaging of Cancer Biomarkers.” Abstract: We are developing Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Imaging (MRSI) technologies for in vivo cancer biomarker imaging with applications in early detection of cancer treatment responses. Rapid advances in cancer research has offered many treatment options to cancer patients. However, individual treatment responses differ dramatically among patients. Clinically, there is no effective methods to predict therapeutic effect. Current monitoring of cancer treatment response relies mostly on tumor volume changes, which often takes several months to detect, especially in the presence of pseudo-progression. To improve cancer imaging specificity, we have recent developed pi-MRSI techniques to resolve overlapping biomarker images, permitting fast spatial mapping of cancer biomarkers with potential clinical translations. The commercially available MRSI methods are based on the spin echo techniques that apply only to the brain. In extracranial tissues, the intensive lipid and water signals dominate the proton NMR spectrum, blocking observation of most cancer biomarkers. Using selective multiple quantum coherence transfer (Sel-MQC) techniques, we have suppressed lipid and water signals in a single-scan, expanding MR biomarker imaging to extracranial tissues. For applications at high and ultrahigh magnetic field, we have developed zero-quantum MRSI techniques that are insensitive to inhomogeneous broadening due to tissue susceptibility artifacts and poor B0 shimming. Various spatial localization schemes have been employed in the Sel-MQC chemical shift imaging (CSI) experiments using Hadamard matrix approach and spatial-spectral RF pulses. In the novel pi-MRSI methods, 3D biomarker imaging speeds up by hundreds of fold using any currently available fast k-space mapping and multi-slice localization techniques. By distinguishing tumors specifically from normal tissue, pi-MRSI enables early detection of cancer treatment responses in days rather than months to improve clinical outcome. Bio: Dr. Qiuhong He recently joined Purdue faculty in August, 2022. She earned her PhD in physical chemistry in the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH). Working with Prof. Charles C. Johnson, Jr. in Chapel Hill, she developed the multi-dimensional electrophoretic NMR (ENMR) technology. Subsequently, she became a postdoctoral research fellow in Princeton University working with Prof. Warren S. Warren. In Princeton, she discovered the phenomenon of long-range dipolar interactions in solution NMR in her intermolecular multiple quantum conference correlation (iMQCs) experiments. For biomedical applications of NMR, Dr. He joined the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, working with Prof. Jerry D. Glickson on in vivo NMR of cancer. She has started to develop cancer biomarker imaging techniques ever since. ~BME Faculty Host: Dr. Uzay Emir ~ NOTE: Students registered for the seminar are expected to attend in-person.

Varsha Mysore Athreya (PhD student, SLHS) will present "Effects of Age on Within-Channel and Across-Channel Temporal Processing and Relationship to Speech Perception in Noise." Abstract: Age-related changes in the auditory system can lead to difficulty perceiving speech in noise (SIN). Temporal processing plays a vital role in the perception of SIN, evidenced in prior behavioral studies. There are two mechanisms of temporal processing – within-channel, which is mediated by peripheral and central involvement of the auditory system, and across-channel, primarily involving the central auditory system. Animal studies suggest that with age, there are peripheral (loss of hair cells, cochlear synaptopathy) and central changes (down-regulation of inhibition). In this study, we sought to understand the relative contributions of within-channel and across-channel temporal processing mechanisms to speech perception in noise in individuals with near-normal hearing sensitivity as a function of age. In this talk, I'll be going over our preliminary data from subjects in a wide age range (18-70 years) and future goals.

Megan Yi-Ping Ho, PhD, Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering at The Chinese University of Hong Kong will present “Microfluidics for Single Cell Applications.” Abstract: Microfluidics has gathered significant interest for biomedical applications, particularly the analysis of targeted biomolecules from minute amount of samples. This presentation will summarize our efforts on exploiting microfluidics for the manipulation and analysis of individual cells and subcellular organelles. In particular, we have explored the possibility of modulating hydrodynamic shear stress at microscale to selectively disrupt cellular membrane while maintaining the mitochondrial membrane intact. We have also investigated a microfluidics-based method to encapsulate protein payloads into red blood cells by controlling membrane deformation either transiently or extendedly in a microfluidic channel. This presentation will also highlight our recent development of a novel surfactant based on fluorinated plasmonic gold nanoparticles, rendering a previously unavailable feature of photo-responsiveness in droplet microfluidics. Looking forward, we plan to study the fundamentals of how individual cells alter their phenotypes in response to environmental and therapeutic stimuli. These efforts are expected to find clinical applications in diagnostics, prognostics and treatment evaluation of infectious and chronic diseases, as well as to expand our fundamental understanding towards disease development. Bio: Megan Yi-Ping Ho is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. She received her B.S. and M.S. in Power Mechanical Engineering from National Tsing-Hua University, Taiwan. She received her Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the Johns Hopkins University in USA. After her postdoctoral training with Duke University in USA, she received the Young Elite Researcher Award from the Danish Research Council for Independent Research and started her independent career in the Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Centre and the Department of Molecular Biology & Genetics at Aarhus University in Denmark. She is a co-founder of two start-up companies situated in Demark, Zymonostics and vPCiR, focusing on enzyme-based diagnostics. She has published 67 peer-reviewed journal articles, 6 book chapters, 77 conference papers, edited 1 book and holds 2 granted patents. The results that she presented have been recognized internationally by the American Society of Gene Therapy and Controlled Release Society. Her research team is focused on developing nanosensors and microfluidics as diagnostic tools to expand the capacity of disease detection and treatment evaluation. ~BME Host: Young Kim~ Zoom link: https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/7731446991?pwd=RHdkZTVnRkxTM3J3dnRvY1VLWTlYUT09 BME PhD Defense Announcement for Sarah Libring (L.

Title: Characterizing Interactions Between Cancer Cells and the Extracellular Matrix in Metastatic Breast Cancer through Fibronectin Accumulation Location: MJIS 2001 or Zoom: https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/98072942203?pwd=Y09ub3NUZndSckdPeGtYOEhIZlNMQT… Committee: Luis Solorio (Chair), Michael K. Wendt, Hyowon (Hugh) Lee, Sherry Voytik-Harbin Abstract: Metastases are responsible for approximately 90% of all cancer-related deaths, with metastatic breast cancer (BC) holding a 5-year survival rate of only 27%. Recent research has highlighted a complex dynamic between cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment as essential for the formation of macrometastases. Within this field, tissue stiffening through matrix accumulation and altered matrix organization at the primary tumor site were recently linked with sustained proliferation and increased migration of tumor cells. Separately, elevated levels of the glycoprotein, fibronectin, were correlated to poor patient survival in BC and were linked to enhanced seeding of disseminated tumor cells at metastatic sites. Through my thesis work, we have identified several mechanisms through which accumulated fibronectin impacts the metastatic potential of BC cells. First, we identified a transient increase in extracellular fibronectin in the lungs, which peaked before overt metastasis, coupled with a non-transient increase in total lung volume. To better recapitulate physiological conditions, we then developed a novel magnetically-actuating platform with the ability to apply tensile strain on cells at various amplitudes and frequencies in a high-throughput multi-well culture plate using suspended fibrillar fibronectin for 3D cell culture that is not reliant on a synthetic substrate. Using this as a biomimetic lung model, we found that cyclic mechanical force acted as a suppressor of cancer cell growth in a biomimetic lung model, implicating the accumulation and reorganization of extracellular matrix as an attempt by the cancer cells to alter the mechanical properties of the lung tissue and resist entering dormancy. However, our results showed that BC cells could not organize extracellular fibronectin independently. Instead, BC cells altered the accumulation and architecture of fibronectin by conditioning fibroblasts through soluble factors and extracellular vesicles. We observed that the fibronectin produced by conditioned fibroblasts varied as an effect of both the method of conditioning and the phenotype of the BC cell as the conditioning source. Taken together, these results have increased our knowledge of the relationship between disseminated breast cancer cells, fibroblasts, and fibronectin architecture in the early metastatic lung niche that paves the way for further investigation on targeting disseminated BC cells during early disease intervention in order to inhibit later overt metastatic outgrowth. Mentoring Graduate Writers Workshop for faculty and postdocs: Tues., Oct. 25, 2:00-3:30 p.m., A good deal of research indicates that mentoring graduate students on their writing is fraught with problems. This initial workshop will share a range of best practices around mentoring and writing in the disciplines, with the hope of making mentoring graduate writers more empowered, effective, and sustainable. Participants will learn strategies for sound response and receive materials to take away and study. Depending on faculty interest, additional workshops will be scheduled to address needs that arise during the conversation. This workshop is for faculty and postdocs only. Register: https://gspd.gosignmeup.com/public/Course/browse?courseid=3923 Mentoring and the Dissertation Process for faculty and postdocs, Tues., Nov. 1, 2:00-3:30 p.m. Among the most consequential documents that writers produce in graduate school is the dissertation. Strong mentoring at specific critical junctures in the dissertation process can strengthen both the document itself and graduate students’ abilities to later support their own graduate students. Unfortunately, most faculty receive little to no training about the writing instruction central to the dissertation process, from invention to final deposit. Instead, they rely upon their own experiences producing a doctoral thesis, which might have been problematic and trauma producing or wonderful yet still mystifying. This workshop incorporates current research on graduate student writing and builds on insights about graduate student struggles that the Writing Lab gains through working with dissertation writers. Faculty will be offered actionable strategies for helping dissertation writers be more effective. The workshop also will offer faculty mentors guidance on when and how to direct their students to the Writing Lab for intensive and on-going support. This workshop is for faculty and postdocs only.

An understanding of the dynamics of healthcare delivery can provide insights that further enhance the role that engineers play. The overall purpose of this course is to provide a "real world" overview of healthcare delivery in the United States (US). The topics initially covered include the major medical product segments, namely the pharmaceutical and medical devices industries. The structure of companies operating in these sectors along with the regulatory framework which governs them will be discussed. Health economic considerations, including product costs and reimbursement along with issues related to insurance coverage, will also be covered. Following a focused review of relevant physiology and pathophysiology, a series of critical medical conditions having the highest impact on the US healthcare system are discussed. These diseases include coronary artery disease, heart failure, diabetes, cancer, obesity, Alzheimer's disease, chronic kidney disease, stroke, arthritis, sepsis, and acute kidney injury. The final aspect of the course is a team project, in which an engineering solution is proposed to address an unmet clinical need for one of major conditions discussed.

Next week (Tuesday, October 11 AND Wednesday, October 12) will be our semi-annual air handling system maintenance shutdown. The entire building air handling system in MJIS will be turned off. ALL chemical hood activity, biosafety cabinet activity, autoclave work and activities in wet labs will need to STOP by 5 PM on Monday, October 10th and extend through Wednesday. (This stoppage includes Monday and Tuesday overnights!) Any chemicals stored in the hoods will have to be sealed at that time. Signs will be posted on all hoods to remind users not to use the hoods Monday evening, and removed when the maintenance work is completed and normal operations can resume, sometime on Wednesday. Please DO NOT use chemicals in the lab areas that you would normally use in the hoods. Temperatures in offices and meeting rooms will be unpredictable, so dress accordingly. Note that, due to additional work being done on Wednesday, any system that uses air ventilation (including any procedures utilizing gasses, anesthesia, etc.) will not be able to resume until Thursday. Questions or concerns should be directed to Susan Hardy, hardy13(a)purdue.edu<mailto:hardy13@purdue.edu> SCHEDULE: Monday, Oct. 10, 5 p.m. - ALL HOOD AND AIR RELATED ACTIVITIES STOP Tuesday, Oct. 11 - NO HOOD AND AIR RELATED ACTIVITIES (continued) Wednesday, Oct. 12 - NO HOOD AND AIR RELATED ACTIVITIES (continued until "all clear" is sent out) Thursday, Oct. 13 - Normal activities should resume -- Bmeroundtable-list mailing list Bmeroundtable-list(a)ecn.purdue.edu https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECN/mailman/listinfo/bmeroundtable-list

New Application Deadline Reminder: December 1st Resources, attachments, further information BME Distinguished Seminar Series, Wed., Oct. 5, 9:30 a.m., MJIS 1001 and via Zoom. Professor Peder Larson, PhD, Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging at the University of California, San Francisco will present “Adventures in MRI+: Imaging of the lungs, myelin, prostate cancer, and metabolism. Abstract: Metabolic imaging methods using hyperpolarized carbon-13 MRI The hyperpolarized carbon-13 MRI uses non-toxic, non-ionizing contrast agents to provide unique metabolism information, and is currently in clinical trials. Our team develops data acquisition, image reconstruction, and data analysis methods for this technology for a broad range of collaborators and applications. We are also leading new patient studies of this technology in renal cancers and heart disease. Lung MRI Conventional MRI performs very poorly in the lungs, but our team has developed methods based on ultrashort echo time (UTE) MRI to provide high-quality, high-resolution lung MRI. We are pursuing the development of functional imaging biomarkers and translation onto clinical MRI scanners, with a focus on pediatric studies to reduce radiation dose compared to CT. Myelin MRI Our team has pioneered a new MRI approach for direct imaging of myelin based on ultrashort echo time (UTE) MRI. Other MRI methods provide indirect myelin measurements based on measurements of nearby water. We are continuing to develop this technique as a quantitative imaging method and translating it into studies evaluating myelination in disease.

We are pleased to welcome Harinath Garudadri (UC San Diego Qualcomm Institute of Calit2, Research Scientist), who will present "Open-Source Platform for Hearing Healthcare Research" at our weekly Seminars in Hearing Research at Purdue (SHRP). Abstract: In this presentation, I will discuss my efforts to leverage Internet of Things (IoT) and smartphone technologies to address the multitudes of complex issues in healthcare innovations and translation. We developed an open-source speech processing platform (OSP), supported by grants from NIH, NSF, Army Research Labs, Qualcomm Institute of Calit2 at UCSD, and Wrethinking, the Foundation. OSP comprises applications, algorithms, software, and hardware to extend current clinical research in situ and also enable new investigations beyond what is currently possible. The applications are enabled by an embedded web server that hosts web-apps for monitoring and controlling the realtime engines. The algorithms include realtime, embedded signal processing libraries for hearing aids functions, electrophysiology, inertial measurement units (IMUs), and other sensors. The hardware is based on smartphone chipsets with connectivity and best in the class MIPS/watt performance enabled by economies of scale. The software is based on 64-bit Linux (Debian 10, buster) with custom enhancements to the kernel and drivers. In addition, we have developed an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) and Linux drivers for an efficient, multi-channel, sensor readout. The latest release includes a processing and communication device (PCD) in a in a wearable form factor of smaller than a deck of cards (~100 cm3), weighing 100 grams including a 3500 mAh battery. PCD connects to sensors and actuators (e.g. hearing aids) with wires and wirelessly in future. We currently are seeking collaborations to investigate the clinical benefits of OSP.

Megan Yi-Ping Ho, PhD, Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering at The Chinese University of Hong Kong will present “Microfluidics for Single Cell Applications.” Abstract: Microfluidics has gathered significant interest for biomedical applications, particularly the analysis of targeted biomolecules from minute amount of samples. This presentation will summarize our efforts on exploiting microfluidics for the manipulation and analysis of individual cells and subcellular organelles. In particular, we have explored the possibility of modulating hydrodynamic shear stress at microscale to selectively disrupt cellular membrane while maintaining the mitochondrial membrane intact. We have also investigated a microfluidics-based method to encapsulate protein payloads into red blood cells by controlling membrane deformation either transiently or extendedly in a microfluidic channel. This presentation will also highlight our recent development of a novel surfactant based on fluorinated plasmonic gold nanoparticles, rendering a previously unavailable feature of photo-responsiveness in droplet microfluidics. Looking forward, we plan to study the fundamentals of how individual cells alter their phenotypes in response to environmental and therapeutic stimuli. These efforts are expected to find clinical applications in diagnostics, prognostics and treatment evaluation of infectious and chronic diseases, as well as to expand our fundamental understanding towards disease development.
