BME PhD Defense Announcement for Joseph C. Muskat (V. Rayz and C. Goergen, Co-Chairs) Everyone is invited to attend the public presentation beginning at 2:00PM. Dissertation Title: Application of Multiscale Hemodynamic Models to Explore the Action of Nitrite as a Vasodilator during Acute Cardiovascular Stress Date: November 30th, 2022 Time: 2:00PM Location: MRGN 121 and virtually (https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/93964160161?pwd=Ui9Od2hTNU9sek04Y3gwTlZ2clZlZz…) Advisory Committee: Vitaliy L. Rayz, Co-Chair Craig J. Goergen, Co-Chair Charles F. Babbs Elsje Pienaar Abstract: The fluid dynamics of blood in the systemic circulation modulates production of nitric oxide (NO), a potent vasodilator. Non-invasive techniques such as the flow-mediated dilation (FMD) test and physiologic phenomena associated with autonomic stress induce hyperemia and subsequently higher levels of wall shear stress (WSS), stimulating endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) expression. In the current clinical practice, WSS-a key regulator of endothelial function-is commonly estimated assuming a parabolic velocity distribution, despite the evidence that the temporal changes of pulsatile blood flow over the cardiac cycle modulates vasodilation in mammals. This work investigates the effect of cardiovascular stress on local WSS distributions and the potential for accumulation of near-wall nitrite, the vasoactive storage form of NO in the bloodstream. The specific aims of the project are therefore as follows: 1) develop a reduced-order model of the major systemic vasculature at rest, during a flight-or-flight response, and under moderate levels of aerobic exercise; 2) derive a velocity-driven Womersley solution for pulsatile flow to support accurate estimation of pulsatile WSS in the clinical setting; and 3) quantify cumulative transport of nitrite in a multiscale model of bifurcating vasculature utilizing computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Development of these open-source, translatable methods enable accurate quantification of hemodynamics and species transport during cardiovascular stress. Results detailed herein extend our knowledge about hemodynamics of vascular homeostasis during autonomic stress, suggest a convergent evolutionary theory for having a complete circle of Willis, and potentially clarify reproducibility concerns associated with the FMD test.

BME Master's Defense Announcement for Aiswarya A Ramanujam (T. Kinzer-Ursem, advisor) Everyone is invited to attend the public presentation beginning at 9:30AM EST. Title of thesis research: Assay Optimization for Point-Of-Care Detection of HIV Viral Load Date: November 28, 2022 Time: 9:30AM EST (Indiana) Location: Zoom Meeting Link - https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/94260591743?pwd=U3c3ekVlM01FTkJCT1V6bDlRdXZmdz… Advisory committee: Dr. Tamara Kinzer-Ursem, Dr. Jacqueline Linnes, Dr. Robert V. Stahelin Abstract: As of 2021, 38.4 million people worldwide are living with HIV, with Eastern and Southern Africa having the highest prevalence. The efficacy of treatment is determined by identifying acute HIV infections and prompting early Antiretroviral therapy initiation to achieve viral suppression and reduce the risk of transmission. Existing rapid tests that detect host antibodies are affected by long seroconversions which allow the viruses to remain undetected until long after infection. On the contrary, highly sensitive NAAT-based assays, serving as the gold standard for detection are restricted by their long turnaround time and high cost of implementation thus, restricting their use in low resource settings. Further, drug resistance cases and patient non-compliance to treatment may lead to HIV progression to AIDS; therefore, effective viral load monitoring is a critical component in the HIV care continuum. To address the gaps in viral load monitoring and early HIV detection, I propose to develop assays for handheld self-test platforms to detect low concentrations of HIV via two different approaches: 1) I will optimize an existing NAAT-based assay to semi-quantitatively detect HIV particles that were spiked in clinical samples and 2) I will probe the binding kinetics of the HIV p24 - antibody interaction. Thus, I will lay the foundation for the development of a novel and highly sensitive p24 detection assay. Overall, this work will enable detection of early Acute HIV Infection detection as well as support PLHIV management, all while remaining connected to healthcare and provider support.

BME Master's Defense Announcement for Umm E Hani Abdullah (T. Kinzer-Ursem, advisor) Everyone is invited to attend the public presentation beginning at 11:00AM EST. Title: Deep brain stimulation in the Syngap1+/- mouse model of autism and intellectual disability Date: November 28, 2022 Time: 11:00AM EST Location: MJIS 2001 and Zoom (meeting info below*) Thesis Committee: Dr. Tamara Kinzer-Ursem (Major Professor) Dr. Maria Dadarlat Makin Dr. Karin Ejendal Abstract: Syngap1+/- haploinsufficiency is phenotypically characterized by autism spectrum disorder (ASD), intellectual disability (ID), and epilepsy. SynGAP as a protein, is also known as Synaptic Ras GTPase-activating protein, regulating the function in synapses. Treatment-resistant severe ASD in particular, presents concurrently with ID in 31% patients, where patients exhibit minimal speech formation, self-injurious behavior, and cognitive impairment. Previously, success in alleviating self-injurious behavior along with speech formation was demonstrated in adolescent patients undergoing deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the basolateral amygdala (BLA). In addition, SynGAP protein is an integral component of the post-synaptic density and its role in signaling pathway converges with other autism risk genes and consequently autism risk proteins. A critical gap exists in understanding how electrical stimulation as part of the Hebbian theory, can induce neuroplasticity. Therefore, we sought to develop a chronic DBS model in Syngap1+/- haploinsufficient mice that can be used to assess the behavior and proteomic correlates due to DBS in BLA. We optimized the DBS surgery and anesthesia requirements to ensure survival of Syngap1+/- mice as they are more susceptible to isoflurane anesthesia. Additionally, we optimized the DBS stimulation parameters in accordance with behavior responses from Syngap1+/- mice by performing multiple trials of DBS paremeters. These methods ensure attainment of local field potentials from Syngap1+/- mice - future directions include verifying the role of DBS in producing theta oscillations for the purposes of memory retrieval. *Hani Abdullah is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

BME PhD Defense Announcement for Tanmaye Nallan Chakravarthula (N. Alves and S. Harbin, co-chairs) Everyone is invited to attend the public presentation beginning at 12:00pm EST. Title: Modulating plasmin activity with multivalent inhibitors for drug delivery applications Date: November 22nd, 2022 Time: 12.00 PM EST Location: Zoom Meeting https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/95332317333?pwd=dXRvMlAwMG5SLy85L2VlQVZ6Uis0Zz… Meeting ID: 953 3231 7333 Passcode: 582479 Thesis Committee: Dr. Nathan J. Alves (Advisor, Co-Chair) Dr. Sherry L. Voytik-Harbin (Co-Chair) Dr. David H. Thompson (Member) Dr. Luis Solorio (Member) Abstract: Plasmin is a crucial enzyme for blood clot digestion and for maintaining hemostatic balance. There is emerging interest in applying multivalency to achieve strong and highly controlled enzyme inhibition. Benzamidine is a competitive inhibitor of plasmin's active site whereas tranexamic acid (TXA) is an FDA-approved inhibitor that blocks plasmin's kringle domains. Herein, benzamidine and TXA were utilized to synthesize three classes of multivalent inhibitors (i) Multivalent benzamidines (ii) Multivalent TXAs, and (iii) Hetero-multivalent molecules having both benzamidine and TXA to evaluate their plasmin inhibition. These inhibitors were synthesized using amine-reactive chemistry, purified using RP-HPLC and confirmed with Mass Spectrometry. Inhibition assays were performed to assess inhibition potency by determining Ki values (inhibition constants). Lower Ki values indicate stronger inhibition. With multivalent benzamidine derivatives, it was observed that changing valency and linker length substantially impacted inhibition and resulted in Ki values ranging from 2.1 to 1,395 µM. Multivalent benzamidine inhibitors with higher valencies and shorter linker lengths exhibited stronger inhibition. Multivalent TXAs of valencies 1 to 16 were also tested and they exhibited Ki values varying from 2.5 to 21,000 µM indicating up to 8,400-fold improvement in inhibition due to valency. It was found that monovalent TXA, primarily a kringle inhibitor, was converted into a stronger active site inhibitor by multivalency. With hetero-bivalent TXA-dPEG36-AMB, simultaneous binding of benzamidine to the active site and TXA to the kringle domains was achieved to attain improved inhibition. These results indicate that multivalency can modulate plasmin inhibition and can significantly improve the potency of inhibitors.

PURDUE ADVERSE WINTER WEATHER POLICY If adverse weather conditions necessitate that a wind chill, snow or ice emergency be declared for the West Lafayette campus, special procedures pertaining to classes, operations, parking, pay and/or attendance will become effective. Jay Wasson, vice president for physical facilities and chief public safety officer, describes procedures for adverse winter weather in this memo<https://www.purdue.edu/ehps/emergency-preparedness/docs/adverse-winter-weat…>. Committee Updates Academic Programs Update For all course instructors: As the semester winds down, it’s time to make plans now for how you will approach providing final exam testing accommodations for students who have disability accommodation. Many instructors will plan to provide these accommodations themselves. That is great and often the best approach. However, some may want the DRC’s Accommodated Testing staff to administer their final for these students. In these cases, it is important to be aware of three critical deadlines: * November 11. This is the deadline for instructors to update their Test Information Form<https://www.purdue.edu/drc/testing/tif.php> (TIF) for finals week, which effectively gives permission for students to request a seat with DRC Testing. * November 18 (11:55 p.m.). This is the deadline by which students must request a seat with DRC Testing. The DRC does everything in its power to encourage students to communicate with their instructors and do their part in meeting this and other deadlines. * 48 hours before exam time. DRC Testing must have the exam in their possession to ensure that the student can access it at the scheduled time. If these deadlines are met, DRC Testing will make every effort to administer the instructor’s exam. One last consideration: While DRC Testing does everything it can to work with instructors, they cannot promise to administer the instructor’s exams at the same time that their class is taking it in all cases. Instructors who are able to be flexible with the date and time for their final exam increase the likelihood that DRC Testing will be able to support them. Please feel free to connect with the Director of the DRC, Randall Ward<mailto:ward176@purdue.edu?subject=questions%20about%20DRC%20accommodated%20testing%20deadlines>, ward176(a)purdue.edu<mailto:ward176@purdue.edu>, as needed. Fri., Dec. 2: Please make note of the grading deadline for all research students (grad & undergrad) and your Fall classes: Full Term (16 Weeks) and Second Eight-Week Session (meeting between October 19 and December 17) Grade entry begins at 8 a.m. December 2 and ends at 5 p.m. December 20. Faculty at West Lafayette not meeting the submission deadline for their reporting window will be required to submit via the Grade change workflow found in their myPurdue portal. Undergraduate Programs Update The BME Senior Design Expo will be Thursday, December 15 from 3:30 - 5:30pm in MJIS 1097, 1001 and Atrium.

BME Seminar Series, Wed., Nov. 16, 9:30 a.m., MJIS 1001 and via Zoom. Elizabeth Proctor, Assistant Professor, Penn State University will present “Systems biology and the engineering of complex disease systems.” Abstract: Communications within and between cells are a complex network from which emerges a wide variety of biological functions. By extracting from these complex interactions the signals relevant to specific phenotypic, genetic, or behavioral changes, we can both understand the underlying mechanisms of these phenomena and identify useful markers for diagnosis, prognosis, and classification of disease states. In this seminar, I will give an overview of how we use these principles in our laboratory to answer critical questions in neurodegenerative disease and aging. Bio: Elizabeth Proctor is an Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery, Pharmacology, Biomedical Engineering, and Engineering Science & Mechanics at Penn State University, where she integrates experimental and computational systems biology methods to uncover interactions between seemingly discrete pathological processes in neurological disease. The ultimate goal of her work is to design perturbations to these integrated multi-scale networks in order to maintain brain health and correct disease phenotypes. Prior to Penn State, Elizabeth was a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Biological Engineering at MIT, where she used multiplexing and OMICS assays combined with multivariate modeling and machine learning to map cellular communication and signaling networks implicated in disease. Elizabeth completed her PhD in Computational Biophysics at UNC Chapel Hill, where she developed methodology for molecular modeling and protein engineering to control molecular structure, dynamics, and function in disease-relevant systems. Elizabeth holds Honors bachelor diplomas from Purdue University in Physics and Russian Language and Literature. ~BME Faculty Host: Dr. Douglas Brubaker ~ NOTE: Students registered for the seminar are expected to attend in-person.

Schlesinger, Dr. Alexandria Volkening, Dr. Qing Deng Abstract: Tuberculosis (TB) is the 2nd most deadly infectious disease behind Covid-19 with ~10 million new cases and ~1.5 million deaths worldwide in 2020. TB infection is associated with a wide spectrum of outcomes ranging from complete elimination of bacteria, to bacterial containment in asymptomatic clinical states [latent TB infection (LTBI)], to high bacterial replication in active disease with severe clinical symptoms. How individuals move throughout this spectrum is still being uncovered; however, the host immune status is a strong determinant of infection progression. The risk of active TB is ~10% in individuals with LTBI and 15-21 times higher in those coinfected with human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV). The hallmark of TB infection is the formation of granulomas – unique microenvironments orchestrated by the immune response to contain Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and localize host-pathogen interactions. Granulomas are the main site of infection and driver of disease progression, but studying intra-granuloma dynamics of human Mtb infection in vivo is challenging. In vitro Mtb granulomas using human donor cells have shown how the host immune status (LTBI vs Mtb-naïve) as well as coinfection with HIV can have critical and distinct impacts on the formation of granulomas. However, identifying mechanisms behind these differences using experimental data alone is a formidable task. Here, we present a complementary approach using an agent-based model of these in vitro granulomas to help elucidate differences between LTBI and naïve host cell responses as well as mechanisms of coinfection with HIV. Coupling computational modeling with experimental efforts could accelerate new treatment discoveries. Seminars in Hearing Research, Thurs., Nov. 17, 10:30 a.m., LYLE 1150 and via Zoom. Eric Ryan Rodriguez, AUD/PhD Student, SLHS, will present "¿Manzanas o Naranjas? (Apples or Oranges?): Comparing the English and Spanish AzBio Sentences-in-Noise Test Corpora. Abstract: Although the population of the United States is becoming increasingly diverse, the demographics of speech, language, and hearing professionals do not reflect this racial and linguistic diversity. This discrepancy is also apparent in the available speech-test batteries used during audiology assessments, such as the AzBio Sentences-in-Noise Test corpora. While the English AzBio is regarded as the “gold standard” for assessing cochlear implant candidacy in English speakers, the recently developed Spanish AzBio equivalent does not account for the dialectical or language experiences of most of the Spanish-speakers in the United States. Are these test corpora comparable in difficulty level for Spanish-speaking adults with varying dialects?

Lam, Associate Head and Professor, Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology will present “Proteomics and its applications in antibiotic tolerance research” on Wednesday, December 7, at 9:30 a.m. in MJIS 1001 and via Zoom. Abstract: Proteomics has witnessed rapid technological advances in the past decade and a half. Despite its obvious promise, proteomics still poses a considerable barrier of entry for the average life scientist, and the adoption of this powerful technology across different areas has been uneven. In this talk, I will present two rather distinct stories that have the same underlying goal, namely, to suggest a roadmap for proteomics to become truly ubiquitous in all life science research. The first is in computational method development. Proteomics is a prototypical "Big Data" field, but it may be surprising to some that despite the rapid accumulation of LC-MS/MS data in public repositories, for the most part all these data have not been meaningfully reused. This unfortunate situation can be traced to how we are used to analyze data in proteomics in isolation without prior knowledge, and how we store and organize the data. I will discuss our ongoing efforts to change this by organizing proteomics data by spectral similarity, and our vision for a simpler and more user-friendly way to analyze proteomics data. The second is in the application of proteomics to an important problem in microbiology -- the fascinating but annoying ability of bacterial pathogens to survive antibiotic treatment. Antibiotic tolerance, defined as the ability of a bacterial population to outlive lethal doses of antibiotics in a non-proliferating and non-specific way, is distinct from, and less understood, than antibiotic resistance. I will discuss our recent work in applying proteomics and adaptive laboratory evolution to map the "tolerome" (the set of genes and proteins that affect tolerance) in two organisms, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, and some hard-learned lessons of how to reduce distraction when dealing with hundreds of differentially expressed proteins. In doing so, I hope to show an example of what proteomics can and cannot do, and how it enables one to make progress towards addressing open-ended biological questions. Bio: Prof. Henry Lam is currently Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering in the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). He obtained his Ph. D. (Chemical Engineering) from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2005, and received postdoctoral training in the Aebersold group at the Institute for Systems Biology (ISB) in Seattle, Washington. At ISB, he participated in developing data analysis workflows in the then-nascent field of proteomics, some of which have become standard practice today. He has a longstanding interest in making the powerful technology of proteomics more reliable and more accessible to life scientists. Current research in his group focuses on method development in proteomics and metabolomics, particularly in algorithm design and data organization, and applications of proteomics in biological research, particularly in microbiology. ~BME Host: Young Kim~ NOTE:Students registered for the seminar are expected to attend in-person.
