BME PhD defense announcement for Sean M. Rothenberger (V. Rayz, advisor) Everyone is invited to attend the public presentation beginning at 3:00 pm. Title: Statistical Models of 4D flow MRI Velocity Error using Principles of Fluid Dynamics and Imaging Physics Date: February 6, 2023 Time: 3:00 pm Location: MJIS 2001 or https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/99467282487 Advisory Committee: Vitaliy L. Rayz, Chair Pavlos P. Vlachos Craig J. Goergen Michael Markl Abstract: 4D flow magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has emerged as an imaging modality capable of assessing cardiovascular flow non-invasively. Despite interest in using these in vivo measurements for cardiovascular disease diagnostics and progression assessment, there are no adequate models of 4D flow MRI’s measurement error. Error models are essential in evaluating accurate hemodynamic biomarkers and judging the quality of 4D flow MRI scans. Here, we present a comprehensive error model of 4D flow MRI velocity measurements using fluid dynamics and imaging physics principles. 4D flow MRI velocity error is described as a multivariate normal distribution which is a function of space and time. The error distribution’s scale is assessed using the principle of conservation of mass, and error correlations are assessed using the novel standardized difference of means (SDM) velocity metric. We define the SDM velocity as the difference between the local mean velocity and the global background mean velocity relative to the standard error of the local mean velocity. We also demonstrate the SDM velocity’s utility in segmenting vessels in 4D flow MRI measurements. This work also introduces a bias error model, which accounts for insufficient spatial resolution and partial volume effects. These bias error estimates serve as one means of validating our proposed 4D flow MRI error model. All algorithms presented are validated in 4D flow MRI measurements in scaled in vitro cerebral aneurysms and in vivo 4D flow measurements. This work ultimately supports the development of reliable biomarkers indicative of cardiovascular disease progression.

Prospective BME Faculty Seminar, Wed., Jan. 18, 9:30 a.m. in MJIS 1001 and via Zoom. Jacob Rosenstein, Associate Professor of Engineering, Brown University will present "Integrated Semiconductors for the Life Sciences." Abstract: One of the most significant trends in modern science is the growth of information technology and microelectronics into life science applications. In this talk I will review my lab's research on the conceptual and physical integration of electrical, biological, and chemical systems. I will discuss the latest progress on a new class of semiconductor sensors which use more than 100,000 active addressable microelectrodes to create non-destructive all-electrical "images" of cells, particles, biofilms, and other materials near the surface of the sensor. I will also review some of our recent collaborative work on digital information storage using mixtures of natural metabolites and synthetic small-molecule libraries. I hope that by re-imagining semiconductor circuits as bioelectronic interfaces, and considering chemical systems as abstract stores of information, we can uncover new ways to interact with the natural world. Bio: Jacob K. Rosenstein is an Associate Professor in the School of Engineering at Brown University, in Providence, Rhode Island. He received a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Columbia University, and previously worked in the wireless division at Analog Devices and MediaTek. His research focuses on electronic interfaces with chemical and biological systems, which has included integrated circuits for DNA sequencing, molecular information systems, machine olfaction, and smart cell culture platforms. ~BME Host: Hugh Lee~ Zoom link: https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/94936026728?pwd=K3ZHcTN5Q2JrSGk3YTJwZVVxUHoxdz… BME PhD Preliminary Exam announcement for Alexa Petrucciani (E. Pienaar, advisor), Wed., Jan. 18, 8:00 a.m., MJIS 2001 and via Zoom. Everyone is invited to attend the public presentation beginning at 8:00am. Title of presentation: Agent-Based Modeling of Cell Culture Granuloma Models: Separating the Impact of Dimension, Collagen, and Non-Immune Cells Thesis Committee: Dr. Elsje Pienaar - Major Professor; Dr. Tamara Kinzer-Ursem, Dr. Nan Kong, Dr. Nelita du Plessis, Dr. Bradley Allen Abstract: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a global public health crisis, causing over 10 million new infections and 1.6 million deaths in 2021 alone. TB is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), which is spread via respiratory droplets. After inhalation, the bacteria initiate heterogeneous pathology in the lungs, including granulomas and cavities. Granulomas are organized structures of immune cells, traditionally though to contain the bacteria, and cavities are pathological spaces are caused by the destruction of extracellular matrix (ECM), which can worsen disease outcomes and cause long-lasting pulmonary impairment. In vitro methods are commonly used to study host-pathogen interactions in Mtb infection, and recent developments have led to more advanced models that represent the TB granuloma environment more closely than the traditional cell culture counterparts. These advances include the development of 3D models, the inclusion of physiological ECM components like collagen, and the co-culturing of immune cells with neighboring nonimmune cells. Increasing complexity has been accomplished in a piece-wise manner - minimally necessary components are included to minimize cost while maintaining throughput and tractability. This creates a need for tools to analyze these systems and, more importantly, integrate the independent data created. We propose using agent-based modeling of in vitro Mtb infection models to separate out the contributions of dimension, collagen, and neighboring cells to clinically relevant outputs: bacterial load and ECM destruction. The model can provide insights into the role of granuloma structure, elucidate the emergence of cavities, predict drug targets, and generate and test hypotheses in tandem with in vitro models. Zoom link: https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/9607220370 College of Veterinary Medicine Special Seminar, Shawn Burgess, PhD, Senior Investigator and Head of Developmental Genomics Section will present "Gene Regulatory Networks and Metabolic Factors Driving Regeneration in Zebrafish" on Thurs., Jan. 19 at 12:30 p.m. in Lynn Hall 1136. Abstract: Throughout their lifetime, fish maintain a high capacity for regenerating complex tissues after injury. This provides an opportunity to study mechanisms of tissue regeneration that have fallen dormant in mammals, including humans. We use two models of regeneration in zebrafish: adult inner ear regeneration and larval tailfin regeneration to study the various forces involved in wound healing and regeneration. Using adult zebrafish inner ears as a model for sensorineural regeneration, we performed a targeted ablation of the mechanosensory receptors in the saccule and utricle and characterized the single-cell epigenome and transcriptome at consecutive time-points following hair cell ablation. We show that precise timing of sox2 expression is critical to proper hair cell regeneration. We utilized a larval tail regeneration assay in the zebrafish Danio rerio. Regeneration of the embryonic zebrafish tail requires development of a blastema, a mass of dedifferentiated cells capable of replacing lost tissue, a crucial step in all known examples of appendage regeneration. We showed that tail amputation triggers an obligate metabolic shift to promote glucose metabolism during early regeneration similar to the Warburg effect observed in tumor forming cells. Inhibition of glucose metabolism completely blocked the f in from regenerating after amputation due to the failure to form a functional blastema. We further showed that this metabolic pathway was necessary to shunt metabolites to the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway. Prospective BME Faculty Seminar, Wed., Jan. 25, 9:30 a.m. in MJIS 1001 and via Zoom. Sunghee (Estelle) Park, PhD Candidate and CEMB Fellow, Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania will present "Engineering Stem Cells and Organoids on a Chip." Abstract: Organ development is a complex process that involves highly coordinated, dynamic changes in the structural organization and mechanical environment of developing tissues. Recent advances in our understanding of stem cells have led to the development of human adult stem cell or pluripotent stem cell-derived organoids that follow the developmental trajectories of living human organs in vitro and create multicellular tissue constructs that recapitulate the key structural and functional aspects of human organs with greater biological and cellular complexity. In parallel, organ-on-a-chip technology allows us to engineer human organ-like tissue constructs by enabling precise control over their culture conditions and microenvironment. Inspired by the potential of combining these two approaches, we are interested in creating microfabricated devices and developing stem cell-based tissue engineering approaches to investigate the biochemical and biomechanical cues that are responsible for guiding organoid growth and maturation. I will discuss how we synergistically combine organoids and organ-on-a-chip technology, so called organoids-on-a-chip, to create in vitro replicas of living human organs with unprecedented levels of maturity and complexity. Using these platforms, I will also describe efforts to uncover the critical roles of different biophysical mechanisms in fetal lung development. Bio: Estelle Park is a PhD candidate in Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania. Her research focuses on using engineered tissues and organoid models to understand how biomechanical and biochemical cues direct stem cell differentiation, maturation, and function during development and disease progression, with a particular emphasis on the lung and intestine. Her research is best known for growing stem cell-derived organoids in physiologically relevant microenvironments through microengineered organ-chip devices to study tissue morphogenesis and identify biomarkers in diseases of the intestine and lung. When she's not thinking about her research, Estelle enjoys walking her dog, planning her next hike, or trying out new restaurants. ~BME Host: Hugh Lee~ Zoom link: https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/94442813985?pwd=VlppMzBRV2ZSWlVJQll4NElyb2dnQT… BME PhD Preliminary Exam announcement for Luke Brennan (J. Linnes and N. Rodriguez, co-advisors), Wed., Jan. 25, 11:00 a.m., MJIS 2001 and via Zoom. Title of presentation: HPV Rapid Diagnostic Test Development Through Human-Centered Design. Everyone is invited to attend the public presentation. Advisory Committee: Jacqueline Linnes Ph.D., Co-Chair; Natalia Rodriguez Ph.D., Co-Chair; Aaron Ermel M.D.; Monica Kasting Ph.D.; Mohit Verma Ph.D. Abstract: Almost every case of cervical cancer in the United States is medically preventable with proper screening, yet many Americans are insufficiently screened. Over 12 thousand American women suffered from cervical cancer in 2018 causing 4 thousand deaths, with over a third in women who had never received a routine screening test. New, sensitive testing techniques have started to facilitate self-sampling at outpatient clinics and mail-in testing, which ameliorate some barriers to screening. Screening with a rapid diagnostic test (RDT), which can be performed in a variety of settings to deliver results in minutes, could further increasing screening uptake and follow-up care delivery. The goal of this project is to create a sample-to-answer RDT for cervical cancer screening. In the first aim we use interviews and a survey to explore clinician perspectives on current and newly proposed cervical screening methods such as self-sampling, RDTs, and home-based screening. This will result in a user-informed set of technical specifications for device design. The second aim augments a recombinase polymerase assay that isothermally amplifies any of 13 high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) strains with an endogenous *-globin sample control and a simple colorimetric lateral flow assay (LFA) readout. The third aim incorporates this assay onto a paper-based device with a simple resistive heater, lysis buffer, and timers. The resulting test will accept vaginal fluid samples, buffer and lyse the samples, copy any hrHPV DNA present, and report copied DNA through a colorimetric LFA.

Wei Ouyang, Postdoctoral Fellow, Bioelectronics, at Northwestern University will present "Integrated Bioelectronic Systems for Biomedical Research and Healthcare: Materials, Electronics, and Computing." Abstract: Probing and modulating life processes in the native state represents a key capability in our quest for a better understanding of life and a higher quality of life. In this talk, I will present implantable and wearable forms of flexible bioelectronic devices developed through a systems approach combining materials, electronics, and computing that open up new opportunities for fundamental biomedical research in unperturbed, naturally behaving animal models and for continuous, ambulatory monitoring of human health. I will first present a new class of wireless, battery-free, fully implantable devices that offer multimodalities and closed-loop functionalities in neuroscience research and the use of this technology for studying auditory-evoked potentials, sleep-wake regulations, seizure treatment, cardiology, and social interactions. Then I will present the translation of this technology in human healthcare using a wearable mechano-acoustic sensing device deployed to about 500 patients as an example, with an emphasis on data analytics for continuous monitoring of COVID-19 and vocal health. I will conclude by discussing future opportunities of my research in both fundamental and translational biomedicine. Bio: Wei Ouyang is currently a postdoctoral fellow supervised by Prof. John A.

Yiyang Gong, Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Duke University will present "Traditional and computational development of fluorescence imaging tools for neuroscience" Abstract: Modern basic research in neuroscience aims to dissect neural activity from genetically identifiable neuron populations within dense neural circuits. Such research has relied increasingly on tools that perform optical imaging and optical stimulation. In this area, my lab develops a diverse toolbox that employs multiple engineering disciplines simultaneously. In this talk, I will highlight our recent gains in protein engineering, optical microscopy, and data analysis. The protein tools will attempt to enable multi-channel optical experiments by increasing spectral separation between fluorescent protein sensors and actuators. The microscopy tools will attempt to support fast volumetric imaging experiments that accurately capture neural activity. The data analysis tools will attempt to find neurons and calculate their neural activity from the large datasets resulting from optical imaging experiments quickly and accurately. Lastly, this talk will touch on the future of the protein engineering pipeline seen through the lens of protein tools in neuroscience. Bio: Yiyang Gong obtained his B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the California Institute of Technology. He then obtained his M.S. and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University, training with Prof. Jelena Vuckovic on plasmonic and photonic crystal optical devices. He trained with Prof. Mark Schnitzer at Stanford University as a postdoc in Biology, developing genetically encoded voltage sensors that are advancing the current generation of neuroscience experiments. His current work focuses on imaging neural activity with a combination of engineered protein sensors, optical microscopes, and computational algorithms. His work has been supported by the Beckman Young Investigator Award, the BRAIN initiative, NIH New Innovator Award, NSF CAREER Award, Sloan Fellowship, and Vallee Young Investigator Award. ~BME Host: Hugh Lee~ Zoom link: https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/97275864534?pwd=UFNhaDBadVVxRjVxdE5UOTRlT0trUT… Spring 2023 BME Seminar Schedule (Wednesdays, 9:30 a.m. in MJIS 1001) Week Date Speaker Host Week 2 1/18/2023 BME Faculty candidate Dr. Jacob K.

BME PhD Preliminary Exam announcement for Luke Brennan (J. Linnes and N. Rodriguez, co-advisors)
by May, Sandra M 12 Jan '23

12 Jan '23

BME PhD Preliminary Exam announcement for Luke Brennan (J. Linnes and N. Rodriguez, co-advisors) Everyone is invited to attend the public presentation beginning at 11:00am. Title: HPV RAPID DIAGNOSTIC TEST DEVELOPMENT THROUGH HUMAN-CENTERED DESIGN Date: January 25, 2023 Time: 11:00am Location: MJIS 2001 or https://iu.zoom.us/j/5867035107 Advisory Committee: Jacqueline Linnes Ph.D., Co-Chair Natalia Rodriguez Ph.D., Co-Chair Aaron Ermel M.D. Monica Kasting Ph.D. Mohit Verma Ph.D. Abstract: Almost every case of cervical cancer in the United States is medically preventable with proper screening, yet many Americans are insufficiently screened. Over 12 thousand American women suffered from cervical cancer in 2018 causing 4 thousand deaths, with over a third in women who had never received a routine screening test. New, sensitive testing techniques have started to facilitate self-sampling at outpatient clinics and mail-in testing, which ameliorate some barriers to screening. Screening with a rapid diagnostic test (RDT), which can be performed in a variety of settings to deliver results in minutes, could further increasing screening uptake and follow-up care delivery. The goal of this project is to create a sample-to-answer RDT for cervical cancer screening. In the first aim we use interviews and a survey to explore clinician perspectives on current and newly proposed cervical screening methods such as self-sampling, RDTs, and home-based screening. This will result in a user-informed set of technical specifications for device design. The second aim augments a recombinase polymerase assay that isothermally amplifies any of 13 high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) strains with an endogenous *-globin sample control and a simple colorimetric lateral flow assay (LFA) readout. The third aim incorporates this assay onto a paper-based device with a simple resistive heater, lysis buffer, and timers. The resulting test will accept vaginal fluid samples, buffer and lyse the samples, copy any hrHPV DNA present, and report copied DNA through a colorimetric LFA.
