Good Afternoon, We are once again going to host a Welcome Back (for some of you welcome to the Fall semester) Ice Cream Social on the first Friday of classes. Join us for some great conversation and yummy treats as we get the fall semester started. I will send a calendar invite to those that utilize that feature. Date: Friday, August 26th Time: 1-2 pm Location: MJIS South Lawn (rain location: MJIS 2001) I hope you consider joining us!

Lee, advisor) [https://engineering.purdue.edu/ResourceDB/ResourceFiles/image244620/alter?b…] Abstract: Strain gauges, particularly in wearable sensing applications, require a high level of stretchability, softness, sensitivity, linearity, and selectivity while suppressing hysteresis, overshoot, and response/recovery time. To date, none of current strain gauges meet all these requirements at the same time due to their trade-off relationship. Here, we introduce a porous foam that is highly stretchable and effective in strain sensing under tensile deformation while being irresponsive to other deformations such as compressing and bending. This unique feature enables superior gauge factor and strain range beyond current stretchable strain gauges without a trade-off in performance metrics. This work involves systematic investigation to disclose the structure-property-performance relationship of the porous foam and demonstrate its utility in wearable sensing applications such as human motion monitoring, human-robot interaction, and health-monitoring of a large animal. Retooling the neuronal membrane channel with DNA origami Sang Hoon Um (L. Green, advisor) [https://engineering.purdue.edu/ResourceDB/ResourceFiles/image243524/alter?b…] Abstract: DNA nanotechnology offers fascinating self-assembled nanostructures that allow for constructing synthetic ion channels with nanoscale precision and controllable functionalization. In particular, membranal ion channels at dendritic spines generate electric input signals, making them the primary site for processing information. Mimicking the biological channel consisting of DNA nanostructures has drawn significant attention lately. Synthetic ion channels can enhance real-time imaging of electrically excitable neuronal cells as the functional versatility of DNA nanostructures enables both direct and indirect recording of electric signals from the neuronal membrane. Investigating and mapping the whole-cell electrophysiology of neurons require rational strategies on DNA structures to enable the stabilized interaction with the cellular membrane. Herein, we design DNA nanotube with small circular DNA that keeps structural rigidity. During the process, controlled spatial presentation of cholesterol units creates conditions for practical membrane interfacing with minimal aggregation. The DNA-derived nanopore is functionalized with two phosphorothioate DNA strands to arrest a single quantum dot (QD) in the center nanopore. The incorporation of the QD extends the scale and range of electrically recordable neurons with increased sensitivity and responsiveness. We will implement a nanopipette with synthetic DNA nanopores that allows direct voltage recording from neuron cells for a direct voltage recording system. DNA nanotubes will be transferred into the neuronal membrane via recording nanopipette near dendritic spines, creating a nanopipette coupled ion channel with minimal invasiveness. Furthermore, we will indirectly quantify voltage by delivering DNA nanopores bearing a single QD into the neuronal membrane's core. QD effectively changes the electrical signal in the neural network to the visualized signal, which is emission spectral changes of QD. By applying DNA nanotube as a versatile platform to the various voltage recording system, we aim to explore excitatory postsynaptic potential of neurons and shed light on the complexity of its processes. *Join Zoom Meeting https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/92168739019?pwd=cnBOaFBxN3FWVVVTWC8wWWhaekdIdz… Meeting ID: 921 6873 9019 Passcode: biomedical Liz Rowen She/Her Graduate Program Assistant Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Martin C.

25 Jul '22

From: Gao, Jing <jinggao(a)purdue.edu> Sent: Friday, July 22, 2022 11:51 PM To: May, Sandra M <smmay(a)purdue.edu> Subject: course advertisement I offered ECE 59500: Introduction to Data Mining last Fall, and will teach this course again this Fall. As this course is relatively new, I'd hope to reach out to students and let them learn more about this course. Some graduate students in your department might be interested in this course, so I am wondering if you could help send the attached flyer about this course to all the graduate students in Biomedical Engineering. Thank you! Jing Gao Associate Professor School of ECE Purdue University

In this talk, Dr. González will give a brief history of Chinese immigration to Mexico during the twentieth century and illustrate some of the ways the Chinese contributed to and claimed belonging to the Mexican nation. Despite experiencing consistent hate and harassment from anti-Chinese activists who claimed that the Chinese would never fit into the Mexican nation, some migrants found ways to survive and set down roots in their new country. ● Monday, October 24, 2022 Speaker: Dr. Claire Jean Kim (Professor, Political Science and Asian American Studies, University of California Irvine) Location: Virtual event only Time: 6:00 - 7:15 pm In collaboration with the Black Cultural Center, the AAARCC is hosting Dr. Claire Jean Kim, Professor of Political Science and Asian American Studies at the University of California, Irvine.

BME PhD Preliminary Exam Announcement for Han Dang Nhat Nguyen (C. Lin and J. Liu, co-advisors)
by May, Sandra M 18 Jul '22

18 Jul '22

BME PhD Preliminary Exam Announcement for Han Dang Nhat Nguyen (C. Lin and J. Liu, co-advisors) Everyone is invited to attend the public presentation beginning at 3:00 PM EST. Title: Dynamic Tuning of Hydrogel Stiffness and Viscoelasticity to Probe Cell Behaviors Date: August 1st, 2022 Time: 3:00 PM EST Location: IUPUI SL 220 A and Zoom Zoom Link*: https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/7085972423 Committee: Chien-Chi Lin, Major Professor; Julie C. Liu, Co-Chair; Hiroki Yokota; Sungsoo Na Abstract: Hydrogels have proven to be highly useful for 3D cell culture applications as their chemical and mechanical properties can be easily tuned to mimic the dynamic nature of the extracellular matrix within the native tissues. However, most current biomimetic hydrogel models are elastic and lack tissue-relevant viscoelastic properties such as hysteresis and stress-relaxation. Stress-relaxation refers to a material's ability to reduce the stress response over time under a constant force and has been reported to affect many cellular processes including differentiation, proliferation, and cancer progression. In this regard, we have developed viscoelastic hydrogels with tunable stiffness and stress-relaxation rate to investigate how different cell types respond to changes in matrix physical properties. Specifically, two chemistries, thiol-norbornene photopolymerization and boronic ester dynamic bond were employed to fabricate gelatin-based hydrogels. Gels formed solely via irreversible thiol-norbornene chemistry are elastic (EL) and non-stress-relaxing while gels formed with both thiol-norbornene and the reversible boronic ester bonds are viscoelastic (VE) and stress-relaxing. We found that osteocytes encapsulated within EL gels and VE gels displayed significant differences in cell morphology as well as cytokine secretion. Next, we demonstrated that our hydrogels can be dynamically stiffened via an enzymatic reaction to match the mechanics (e.g stiffness and stress relaxation rate) of pancreatic cancer progression and explored the cells' transcriptional changes associated with sensing stiffness and viscoelasticity. Finally, future work will be focused on the differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) into pancreatic progenitor cells in EL and VE gels. We anticipate that our versatile hydrogel systems will provide promising means to explore cellular mechanoresponsive mechanisms and pathways. *Han Dang Nhat Nguyen is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
