BME WEEKLY ROUNDTABLE
WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 25, 2023
INTERIM HEAD'S NOTE
My apologies for getting this weekly roundtable to you late. It was a hectic week last week helping prepare and participating in a variety of events. I have been catching up emails in the past few days.
* Last Tuesday-Wednesday's Purdue Engineering Distinguished Lecture by Dr. Huda Zoghbi was a success. It was well attended by our faculty and students. Many thanks to all of you. Highlights were all over Dr. Zoghbi's visitation - the lecture, the panel, the lab visit, the introduction to our department's research portfolio, and of course, the many one-on-one and small-group meetings. I think to some of us, her questions were very relevant. I paraphrase it here. Where do we want to see the department in 5 - 10 years with this group of energetic faculty and students? I think Dr. Zoghbi truly enjoyed this visit. She likes how BME PhD students are trained in general, and how much they can potentially help advance the fields of biology and neuroscience.
* Last Friday's BME advisory board meeting was a success. Yay, we did it. I was a bit nervous at the beginning given that this is the first time I presided over such a meeting. Many faculty, students and staff provided tremendous help, for which I am very thankful. All feedback was quite positive. We had many engaging sessions. The three themes featured in the morning were "academic programs," "engineering - medicine partnership," and "innovation and translation." In the afternoon, we saw even more highlights. At the beginning, we had the session "senior design pitch." At the end, we had a very engaging roundtable discussion. The entire business was concluded with the Artistic Display in Research Exposition and Competition. I guess the only lowlight was the football game. While the performance of Purdue football was disappointing, it was so good to see many faculty members, staff, and some of our advisory board members in the stands, and it was so good to see the small ones jumping, chanting, cheering. It was just great atmosphere all over the place. To me, the biggest takeaway is again the question as above. How do we define our success? Where do we see ourselves 5 - 10 years from now? I see that It shall be determined by all of us in the department.

Tues., Sept. 26: Environmental and Ecological Engineering Research Seminar, 10:30 a.m., POTR 234 (Fu Room). Debora F. Rodrigues, PhD, Ezekiel Cullen Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Houston, will present "Nanotechnologies or Biotechnologies: Which one is better?"
Abstract: The World Health Organization estimated that about 11% of the world's population does not have access to clean water and about 1.6 million deaths are caused by contaminated water annually. Even though there are diverse water treatment technologies available today, they are not widely distributed or suitable for all geographic locations and types of water contamination because they have different treatment efficiencies and costs. Furthermore, as our understanding of environmental and health effects of diverse contaminants evolve with advanced analytical technologies, we have been able to identify new emerging contaminants, such as antibiotics, health care products, and others, that cannot be easily treated with the current wastewater and water treatment methods, therefore new approaches need to be developed. In my research group, we have investigated both biotechnologies and nanotechnologies to treat simultaneously diverse types of water contaminants. By using either nanotechnologies and biotechnologies or both approaches together, we were able to gain a better understanding on how they can be used synergistically to improve the removal of diverse contaminants, such as organic matter, metals, and emergent contaminants. In the case of nanotechnologies, we used different photocatalysis and nanoadsorbents that could successfully remove metals and emerging contaminants. Microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and algae, are also very promising for biotechnological removal of contaminants by adsorption or biotransformation of pollutants. Ultimately, my research group goal is to combine the complementary benefits of nanotechnology and biotechnology to enhance water treatment to better remove simultaneously diverse contaminants from water.

Wed., Sept. 27: BME Research Seminar, 9:30 a.m., MJIS 1001 and via Zoom. Omer Inan, Linda J. and Mark C. Smith Chair in Bioscience and Bioengineering, School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology will present "Wearable Acoustic and Vibration Sensing and Machine Learning for Human Health and Performance."
Abstract: Recent advances in digital health technologies are enabling biomedical researchers to reframe health optimization and disease treatment in a patient-specific, personalized manner. This talk will focus on my group's research in two areas of relevance to digital health: (1) cardiogenic vibration sensing and analytics; and (2) musculoskeletal sensing with joint acoustic emissions and bioimpedance. Our group has extensively studied the timings and characteristics of cardiogenic vibration signals such as the ballistocardiogram and seismocardiogram, and applied these signals for cuffless blood pressure measurement, heart failure monitoring, and human performance. We have also leveraged miniature contact microphones to measure the sounds emitted by joints, such as the knees, in the context of movement, and have examined how these acoustic characteristics are altered by musculoskeletal injuries and disorders (e.g., arthritis). We envision that these technologies can all contribute to improving patient care with lower cost and better outcomes.

Thurs., Sept. 28: Seminars in Hearing Research, 12:00 noon, Nelson Hall, Room 1215. Varsha Mysore Athreya, PhD Student in SLHS will present "Age Effects on Auditory Temporal Processing and Relationship to Speech Perception in Noise."
Abstract: Individuals with normal audiometric sensitivity have variable speech perception in noise capabilities, which can worsen with age. Temporal processing plays a vital role in speech perception, especially in adverse listening conditions. Auditory decline due to aging manifests both as peripheral pathology and central auditory system changes, leading to altered temporal processing. To understand the relative contributions of these changes, we measure within-(frequency)-channel and cross-channel temporal processing in normal-hearing individuals across a wide age range. Robust perception of within-channel temporal cues requires precise coding both at peripheral and central levels of the auditory pathways. However, cross-channel processing is supported by central mechanisms. In this talk, I will present our results from a battery of behavioral and electrophysiological measures of within- and cross-channel temporal processing. Age effects on cross-channel temporal-coherence processing appear to be larger than within-channel alterations. Furthermore, our metrics of individual cross-channel temporal-coherence processing are stronger predictors of speech-in-noise outcomes, especially when tasks emphasize streaming and selective attention. Taken together, our results underscore the importance of central auditory changes in aging as a key contributor to age-related perceptual deficits.

Fri., Sept. 29: MSE Seminar Series, 3:30 p.m., ARMS 1010. Roya Maboudian, Distinguished Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and Co-Director of the Berkeley Sensor & Actuator Center (BSAC), University of California, Berkeley, will present "Microchemical Sensors for Environmental and Health Monitoring."
Abstract: There remains a strong need for miniaturized, low-power gas sensors that can be deployed in wireless applications for improved environmental protection, for public health, and for safe and efficient operation of many industrial processes. Leveraging the microfabrication technologies and utilizing innovations in high surface area nanomaterials are providing exciting opportunities towards low-power microchemical sensors. In this presentation, I will discuss one of the approaches we have been pursuing, which is based on a highly efficient microheater platform with fast response and recovery times. The design, fabrication and characteristics of this platform will be presented. I will also discuss the use of two-dimensional materials for gas sensing applications since they offer the highest possible surface area for gas interaction, leading to high sensitivity. Assembling these two-dimensional materials into three-dimensional assemblies, such as aerogels, provides a low-density material with large number of interconnected pores that increases the surface area available in a given footprint while maintaining the properties of the few-layer sheets. By integrating these nanomaterials with our microheater platform, we have achieved fast and sensitive detection of several health and environmental pollutants. The talk will end with current limitations and plans for future directions.

Wed., Oct. 4: BME Research Seminar, 9:30 a.m., MJIS 1001 or via Zoom. Alex Chubykin, Associate Professor of Biological Sciences and Member of Purdue Institute for Integrative Neuroscience, Purdue Autism Research Center, will present "Familiarity-evoked theta oscillations in the mouse visual cortex."
Abstract: Recognizing familiarity and novelty in the environment is critical for animal survival. Surprisingly, very little is known about how animals distinguish familiar from novel stimuli. We have recently discovered persistent stimulus-triggered theta oscillations in the visual cortex of mice, which are specific to the familiarity and spatial frequency features of the stimulus. These oscillations are dependent on the cholinergic muscarinic receptors for both induction and expression. Familiarity-evoked oscillations lead to the decrease in suprathreshold responses to the non-preferred directions of the drifting sinusoidal gratings and to the improved direction selectivity in V1 neurons. We then used optogenetics to directly measure the synaptic strength of the light-triggered EPSCs in V1 neurons in head-fixed mice. We discovered the weakening of the thalamocortical projections coinciding with the strengthening of the intracortical projections in V1 following visual experience and emergence of the familiarity-evoked theta oscillations. Finally, we have discovered theta oscillations in the higher visual areas (HVAs) which are synchronized with the theta oscillations in V1 following visual experience. This synchronization varies between different HVAs and depends on the properties of the visual stimuli.

Thesis Committee members: Fang Huang, Chair; Alexander A. Chubykin; Daniel M. Suter; Kevin J. Webb
Abstract: 4Pi single-molecule localization microscopy (4Pi-SMLM) enables the revealing of ultrastructure by combining interferometric coherent fluorescence imaging and single-molecule localization. Current methods model the interferometric point spread function (PSF) by scanning in-vitro beads on coverslips to infer in-situ 3D location of single-molecule fluorophores in specimens. Although a resolution of sub-20-nm throughout the whole cell has been achieved, imaging tissue specimens was impeded by the heterogeneous aberration and scattering in tissue environment. Here, we introduce 4Pi in-situ PSF retrieval method (4Pi-INSPR), which allows 12-nm-resolution visualization and quantitative analysis through brain tissue with high accuracy. 4Pi-INSPR incorporates sample-induced aberrations, previously unattainable by conventional 4Pi-SMLM. 4Pi-INSPR also minimizes reconstruction artifacts from instrumental imperfections such as objective and imaging-quadrant misalignments. We demonstrate 4Pi-INSPR capabilities by revealing the ultrastructure of dendrites and dendritic spines in 50-μm mouse brain sections and quantifying their morphology changes and nanoscale molecular distribution. Together, 4Pi-INSPR provides potential in examining synaptic functions for brain development.
Thurs., Oct. 12: BME PhD Preliminary Exam Announcement for Donghyun Yim (T. Kim, advisor). Everyone is invited to attend the public presentation beginning at 12:00 pm in MJIS 2001. Title: Computational modeling of chemotactic cell migration enhanced with stress fiber dynamics.
Advisory Committee: Taeyoon Kim, Chair; Adrian Buganza-Tepole; Daniel M. Suter; Qing Deng
Abstract: Directional cell migration is the essential ability of many cells and occurs in the guidance of different types of cues, including substrate stiffness, surface topology, and chemoattractant gradient. In particular, when the external chemotactic stimuli are present, chemoattractant successively activates signaling pathways in the cell, followed by the nucleation and polymerization of actin filaments (F-actins). As a result, F-actin establishment and protrusion are biased at the sites with the maximal concentration of chemotactic cues, leading to migration toward chemoattractant. For the migration, formation of focal adhesions between the cell and an extracellular environment is necessary. Chemotaxis has been studied in various computational studies. However, to our knowledge, the computational model of chemotaxis considering the dynamics of F-actins and focal adhesions still lacks. To address this gap, we introduce a two-dimensional cell migration model comprising nucleus, membrane, F-actins, and underlying substrate. In this model, it is assumed that the elongation rate of an individual F-actin is enhanced by the local chemoattractant level in order to capture the dependence of the F-actin polymerization rate on the chemoattractant concentration. Repulsive forces act between F-actin and the membrane to simulate the membrane protrusion driven by elongating F-actins. F-actins are allowed to bind to substrate via focal adhesions. In preliminary results, it was observed that a cell located in the middle of a linear concentration gradient for chemoattractant protrudes and then migrates toward the region with higher concentration. We expect the current concept of the model will provide better understanding of F-actin-mediated chemotaxis.

Postdoctoral Fellow Opportunity - IUSM Emergency Medicine
The laboratory of Dr. Nathan J. Alves, PhD, within the Department of Emergency Medicine at the Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM), is seeking a highly motivated and independent post-doctoral research fellow. Dr. Alves is a Chemical and Biomolecular Engineer, Associate Professor and the Director of Translational Research for the Department of Emergency Medicine in addition to having an affiliate faculty appointment at Purdue University in Biomedical Engineering. The Alves Lab explores highly interdisciplinary research interests applying engineering and biophysical principles and designs to create translational technologies and treatments in the area of blood coagulation and fibrinolysis. The primary focus of research in the laboratory is to develop targeted clot digesting therapeutic agents to more safely digest clinically relevant blood clots to treat pulmonary embolism (PE, blood clots in the lungs), deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and ischemic stroke. This interdisciplinary research utilizes diverse enzyme assays, chemical synthesis, blood clot formation and digestion assays under shear, and other novel testing/delivery platforms that include multivalent branched molecules and nanoparticle drug delivery systems. Projects Include: (1) Leveraging multivalency to modulate enzyme activity and improve inhibitor selectivity (nanoparticle drug delivery and targeting). (2) Ex-vivo flowing models of clot digestion under shear using in-vivo like fluorescently labeled blood clots from human whole blood. (3) Development of novel fibrinolytic diagnostics tools to assess coagulation state. (4) Mouse models of clot formation/targeting/digestion utilizing intravital microscopy. (5) Study the effects of environmental microplastic exposure on coagulation/fibrinolysis. Projects are funded both externally and internally.

Dear Weldon School,
We have begun the process of finding our next department head. A key part of the process is to make sure that all voices are heard, and that we select a candidate that best shares the collective vision for the department. We recently had a Town Hall meeting to discuss the department head search and we would like to ensure that those who were unable to attend still have an opportunity to participate in the discussion. Attached is a power point that contains a brief update on the current status of the head search and a qulatrics survey where you can provide feedback for the search.
