[Bmeroundtable-list] Reminder: MJIS food storage
by Gelfand, Johanna K 24 Aug '22

24 Aug '22

We recently discovered that someone did not put away food items in the 2001/2017 areas. PLEASE take the time to store items correctly (e.g., in the provided plastic tubs). Hot cocoa mix, sugars, and teas were left both in the locked storage area and in the wooden cabinet in the kitchen in the serving baskets, and we now have our mouse problem back. Anywhere there are food items available (offices, club room, kitchenette, storage areas), they MUST be secured in plastic containers to keep the mice out. Please help us keep our building clean and rodent-free!

New Application Deadline Reminder: December 1st Resources, attachments, further information Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Seminar Series, Wed., August 24, 9:30 a.m. in MJIS 1001 or via Zoom: https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/7731446991?pwd=RHdkZTVnRkxTM3J3dnRvY1VLWTlYUT09 Note: Students registered for the seminar are expected to attend in-person. Taimoor Qazi, Assistant Professor in Biomedical Engineering in the Weldon School will present "Engineered Biomaterials to Enhance Cellular and Acellular Therapies for Tissue Repair." Abstract: Traumatic injury to soft tissues like skeletal muscle causes aberrant fibrosis and a decline in function that can compromise quality of life and prolong disability if left untreated. A major challenge in regenerating complex tissues after severe injury lies in restoring endogenous biological activity e.g., the proliferation and differentiation of tissue-resident cells and revascularization of the injury site. In this seminar, I will describe two distinct biomaterials-based strategies that harness biophysical and biochemical design features to guide cellular behavior and tissue repair. In the first approach, cell-laden microporous scaffolds amplified the paracrine function of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) by promoting cell-cell interactions and enhancing sensitivity to growth factor stimulation. These implantable constructs stimulated myofiber regeneration, reduced muscle fibrosis and improved contractile function in a clinically relevant model of traumatic muscle injury. In the second example, I will detail recent work in designing injectable, modular, and inherently porous particle-based granular hydrogels as an acellular therapy for endogenous repair. Changing particle shape from isotropic spheres to anisotropic rods using a microfluidics approach resulted in granular hydrogels with improved pore interconnectivity that supported robust endothelial cell sprouting in vitro and rapid invasion of cells and blood vessels in vivo. Together, these applications highlight the versatility of hydrogels for translational applications. Bio: Dr. Taimoor Qazi is an Assistant Professor at the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering at Purdue University. His newly established Biomaterials and Musculoskeletal Regeneration lab (www.qazi-lab.com) focuses on developing biomaterials for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. They combine materials science principles, bioengineering technologies, cellular and molecular biology techniques, and clinically relevant animal injury models to (1) understand complex cell behavior including cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, and to (2) develop biomaterial-based therapies for tissue regeneration. The Qazi lab is particularly interested in acute trauma sustained by the musculoskeletal system and is motivated to develop engineering solutions that can be translated to the clinic to treat orthopedic injuries. Previously, Dr. Qazi trained as a postdoctoral fellow in the Bioengineering Department at the University of Pennsylvania, and earned his Ph.D. at the Technical University of Berlin (Germany). ~BME Faculty Host: Dr. Uzay Emir ~ Welcome Back Ice Cream Social, Fri., August 26, 1:00-2:00 p.m., MJIS South Lawn (rain location: MJIS 2001).

BME Monday Roundtable Special Issue: New Semester Info and materials for faculty and graduate students
by Gelfand, Johanna K 22 Aug '22

22 Aug '22

A message from Tami Kinzer-Ursem: Welcome to a new semester! With the start of the 2022-2023 Academic year upon us it is a good time to reflect on strong growth of the Weldon School. We are welcoming an incoming Sophomore class of 170 students. These new BME's join record numbers of Juniors (~160) and Seniors (~120) that have made the Weldon School their academic home. A record 80 graduate - PhD and Masters - students are also joining the Weldon School this year. Welcome All! With this growth in class sizes comes increased growth in instructional support. We have more Graduate Teaching Assistants and Undergraduate Tutors (list attached) than ever, who along with Instructors, support the learning and professional growth of our students. A list of BME courses and instructors for Fall 2023 is also attached. There are a few operational things to share that TAs and Instructors might find useful; including some information on course management in Brightspace, a new Medically Excused Absence Policy (MEAPS), and a reminder of Classroom Courtesy guidelines. A message from Mike Heinz: * Research-Credit Expectations Discussions and Documentation. A BME-developed form is attached to facilitate the documentation of research-credit expectations for any students taking 59800, 59900, 69800 or 69900, which is required by the Grad School (and is best practice!). This form is intended to be student-initiated since these are the student's research credits, but then must be discussed with the faculty mentor and refined and then signed by both. Faculty must then document completion for each student they are mentoring (see instructions from Registrar's office -simply CHECK THE BOX in myPurdue). This is required, so thank you for checking the box to document your efforts! DUE DATE: Fri Sept 2nd. Note: Any form of documentation will do - our form is just a helpful template. * Individual Development Plans (IDPs). IDPs are now required for all BME PhD students. Please find attached IDP forms for BME. These forms are intended to be student initiated and then reviewed AND DISCUSSED with faculty mentors and mentoring/thesis committees. Again, our forms are just helpful templates - any forms you find that you like are OK to use as an IDP. We are sending these items separately as a special issue, as they are key to a successful start of the semester, and we didn't want them getting lost in the tome of a standard Monday Roundtable. Jo

NIH grant-writing course this Fall
by Heinz, Michael G 19 Aug '22

19 Aug '22

Dear BME grad students, I wanted let you all know about an NIH grant-writing course being offered this Fall by Jessica Huber in SLHS. Basic info is below (full syllabus from last year attached - should be similar this year). Contact Dr. Huber directly if you are interested in participating in this course - I just found out she has space in the course this fall and she is happy to have BME students! This is a great course, especially if you are preparing an F30 or F31 proposal. All the best, Mike BME Director of Graduate Programs *************************** SLHS 61900: Grant Writing Course Director: Jessica Huber, Ph.D. (she/her) Email: jhuber(a)purdue.edu<mailto:jhuber@purdue.edu> Course Objective: To develop scientific writing and reasoning skills, especially as related to grant preparation and evaluation. Course Description: The ability to write clear, concise, and compelling scientific prose is essential for the development of the successful scientist. The overarching aim of this seminar is to provide students with experience in expressing their research ideas in the framework of an NIH grant proposal. The ability to craft an excellent grant application provides a critical foundation in the launching of an independent and programmatic research career. This seminar on grant writing will provide students with opportunities to identify federal support mechanisms, to craft a successful proposal, and to understand and respond to the review process. The focus will be on funding agencies and mechanisms that are appropriate for early career investigators. Students will learn about the components of an NIH research grant and will critique proposals from their peers and from more seasoned researchers. Over the course of the semester, students will produce their own grant proposals, which will be critiqued in a mock review session following the NIH format. Another emphasis will be on grant administration and the inevitable revision process. Dependent on student interests, additional topics may include post-doctoral training, interviewing, setting up a lab, securing initial funding for preliminary data, recruiting research participants, research mentoring, and conducting ethical research. *************************** ----- Michael G.
