[Bmeroundtable-list] Update to faculty regarding joint institute and IUPUI
by Umulis, David M 12 Aug '22

12 Aug '22

Dear Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering, In today’s joint announcement <https://www.purdue.edu/newsroom/releases/2022/Q3/indiana-university,-purdue…> from the boards of trustees from both IU and Purdue University- they announced a new joint institute that bridges Purdue Engineering and health-related sciences at Purdue University with the IU School of Medicine! This joint institute will build a premier program in engineering, science, and medicine to train the next generation workforce, make new breakthrough discoveries, and develop innovative solutions and life-saving technologies. In the Fall of ’21 Matthew Tews (IUSM West Lafayette) and I worked with faculty from the IU School of Medicine, Purdue BME, and Purdue Engineering to think big about the next Giant Leap in Engineering in Medicine. With faculty from across our colleges and universities, we carried out a study to 1) identify barriers for more effective collaboration, 2) identify potential solutions to overcome these barriers, 3) create a large and compelling vision for what we could do for the state, our universities, and medicine by working together in creative ways, and 4) developed an institute plan to achieve this vision. We proposed a new joint institute in Indianapolis in Engineering in Medicine- and importantly this has now grown to include our partners in Health and Human Sciences, the College of Veterinary Medicine, and the Purdue Center for Cancer Research being represented by Preeti Sivasankar, Head of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences; Harm Hogenesch (Vet Med), and Andy Mesecar (Purdue Center for Cancer Research). The institute builds from a long running collaboration between our universities and seeks to reinforce these relationships through investments in current programs, the development of new research programs, and supporting collaborations at the intersection of Purdue and IUSM. The Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering will benefit in numerous ways through increased access to clinical research, new collaborations, physical presence in Indianapolis, and new student opportunities. The new institute provides tremendous opportunities for growth with our IUSM partners- both with the IUSM-West Lafayette Campus and the IU School of Medicine in Indianapolis. Today’s announcement also establishes a new model for Purdue University West Lafayette and the upcoming integration of engineering programs in Indianapolis. I refer you to Interim Dean Mark Lundstrom’s email that includes a link to FAQ <https://www.purdue.edu/newsroom/releases/2022/Q3/indiana-university,-purdue…> for additional information for the upcoming transitions. We’ve had long running and highly effective collaborations, partnerships, and synergies with BME at IUPUI across undergraduate and graduate education and in research. Dr. Joey Wallace and I spoke this morning and we are committed to making the transition well in a way that respects and involves our faculty, staff, and students. I want to acknowledge the fact that we have a lot of work ahead and I’m sure you have many questions- as do I, but I’m confident we will find an effective and mutually strengthening path forward that will drive new capabilities, create new opportunities, and make new discoveries.

Join Zoom Meeting: https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/92168739019?pwd=cnBOaFBxN3FWVVVTWC8wWWhaekdIdz… (Meeting ID: 921 6873 9019, Passcode: biomedical) Title: The Design of Paper-based Lateral Flow Immunoassays for Early Cervical Cancer Screening Lucy Tecle (J. Linnes, advisor) Abstract: In 2018, cervical cancer was the fourth most common cancer globally with an estimated 311,000 deaths reported. Approximately 85% of these deaths occurred in low-and-middle-income countries (LMIC) with limited access to medical resources. The two main preventive intervention approaches are human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination programs and early screening initiatives. Since vaccines are not readily available in some LMIC, screen-and-treat strategies serve as a practical solution through point-of-care (POC) diagnostics such as lateral flow immunoassays (LFIA). As a frequent precursor to cervical cancer, HPV protein detection makes room for a highly sensitive and specific LFIA. These affordable paper-based devices provide rapid and reliable detection at the site of care. Hence, we have engineered in-house prototypes for LFIA development and optimization. The fabrication process and test performance were studied for accurate HPV protein detection using gold nanoparticles and antibodies. The binding kinetics of these biomolecules were validated using a dot blot assay. A highly sensitive LFIA requires a low limit of detection for the target protein concentration. In this case, the HPV16 L1 capsid protein was introduced as an early indicator of cervical cancer progression/severity. LFIA troubleshooting was essential to optimize the flow properties, blocking treatment of each paper component, and protein signal detection. Automated striping and assembly have begun for rapid scale-up production and batch-testing using a dispensing platform, LFIA test strip cutter, and lamination system. Future work is focused on signal amplification to improve readout sensitivity and multiplexed protein detection upon a single LFIA test. Ultimately, these prototypes will undergo device performance evaluations and usability studies with collaborators in Zambia to implement user-centered design feedback.

Rodriguez, advisor) Abstract: Almost every case of cervical cancer in the United States is medically preventable with proper screening, yet many Americans are insufficiently screened. In fact, over a third of cervical cancers are from women who have never been screened at all. My project aims to create a technology that facilitates accessible and acceptable screening and follow-up care by testing for human papillomavirus (HPV), the causative agent of cervical cancer. Our first step was to learn what healthcare providers need in a cervical cancer screening test for it to be adoptable and beneficial to patients. This was assessed through a survey and interviews with Indiana providers, 82% of whom were willing to adopt point-of-care HPV testing versus 48% willing to adopt at-home HPV self-testing. They also expected high accuracy and low cost to patients. Based on these criteria and standards of the diagnostics field, we are adapting a previously developed HPV DNA amplification assay for use on a rapid test platform. The assay adapted clinically-used primer pairs for use in an isothermal DNA amplification reaction and targets 13 of 14 cancer-causing strains of HPV. Our work has optimized the assay's temperature, primer concentration, catalyst concentration, and agitation method to identify HPV type 16, the most dangerous HPV strain. We have achieved a tentative limit of detection of 10 HPV DNA copies on plasmids in a 50 *L, 20 minute reaction. Future work includes testing the reaction in vaginal fluid media, testing probes for strain identification, and implementing the reaction on a paper-based microfluidic platform.

Linnes, advisor) [cid:image002.jpg@01D8AAFF.04CF0C50] Abstract: In 2018, cervical cancer was the fourth most common cancer globally with an estimated 311,000 deaths reported. Approximately 85% of these deaths occurred in low-and-middle-income countries (LMIC) with limited access to medical resources. The two main preventive intervention approaches are human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination programs and early screening initiatives. Since vaccines are not readily available in some LMIC, screen-and-treat strategies serve as a practical solution through point-of-care (POC) diagnostics such as lateral flow immunoassays (LFIA).
