Babbs, MD, PhD][Dr. Charles F. Babbs, MD, PhD Continuing Lecturer, BME and Associate Research Scholar, Basic Medical Sciences This talk features a few highlights from the first 25 years of biomedical engineering at Purdue, especially the efforts of graduate students and staff at Purdue's Biomedical Engineering Center, under the leadership of Leslie A. Geddes. Our team worked like beavers to make the world a better place. Innovation happened all the time, including the first pulse oximeter, by Mary Lee Evans, the first smart watch by Barrett Robinson, Jim Jones, and Kirk Foster, the first esophageal ultrasound scanner by David Hughes and Neal Fearnot, the world's largest defibrillator, by Joe Bourland and Jim Jones, and the first computer-based, automated, telephonic system for home monitoring of patients by Umesh Patel. Some discoveries of those early days remain undeveloped and might well be winning research targets here in the 21st Century. These include an inspiration triggered home oxygen delivery system to save half the oxygen used today with greater comfort by Phil Krause and the use of radiofrequency current and vasodilator drugs to heat and kill large tumors without damage to surrounding normal tissues by Bill Voorhees.][Bio: Dr. Babbs is an MD, PhD biomedical engineer, educated at Yale, Baylor College of Medicine and Purdue University. He is a founding member of Purdue's Biomedical Engineering Center, starting in 1974 and continuing at Purdue to the present day. He has received multiple teaching awards for courses in medicine, physiology, and mathematical modeling, both at Indiana University School of Medicine and Purdue University, as well as being the 2006 Lafayette area girls high school coach of the year in soccer.][His published research reports and patents have been cited over 14, 000 times according to Google Scholar. Charles has served as an advisory board member for several startup companies, both successful and unsuccessful. He has a variety of patents as a Purdue employee and is one of Purdue's top 10 producers of royalty income.][BME DISTINGUISHED RESEARCH SEMINAR SERIES Wednesday, Aug. 21, 2024 9:30-10:20 am, MJIS 1001 ZOOM LINK: https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/5593290378?omn=91337572863 *Students registered for the seminar are expected to attend in-person]<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpurdue-ed…> -- Bmeroundtable-list mailing list Bmeroundtable-list(a)ecn.purdue.edu https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECN/mailman/listinfo/bmeroundtable-list

[Bmeroundtable-list] New Weldon Director of Graduate Programs
by Kevin John Otto 15 Aug '24

15 Aug '24

Dear Weldon Family, I'm happy to announce that we have a new Director of Graduate Programs... But first, I'd like to correct a mistake in my previous message requesting nominations for the Director of Graduate Programs. I had previously said that Andrew Brightman served as the Weldon Director of Graduate Programs when Tammy Kinzer-Ursem was recruited to the Dean's Office. In fact, Dr. Brightman took over the role from Mike Heinz after what was an incredible and transformative leadership effort. Mike led the Weldon BME Graduate Programs for 6 years (from 2017-2019 as Graduate Committee Chair and then as the inaugural Director of Graduate Programs from 2019-2023, when he stepped down to pursue a new leadership opportunity in Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences as the inaugural Associate Head for Research). There were many improvements to the BME Grad programs that were accomplished under his 6-year leadership. Throughout, a key guidepost was to increase the rigor of graduate training through increasing mentorship. This vision led to many achievements under Mike's leadership including a change in culture to a student-centric grad training program with broad mentorship, adoption of yearly IDPs, development of a standard research-credit expectations form, revision of POS process to ensure broad and early mentorship on coursework, revision of the QLA process into a mentoring-focused rigorous qualifying process, adoption of yearly mentoring meetings, update to prelim processes including requiring them much earlier in the program, among many other smaller changes to improve processes. A major effort happened in 2021 under the new Headship of David Umulis when Mike led the effort to revamp the Grad Program Milestones. I sincerely thank him for his years of service and dedication to the school and I hope you will also extend this gratitude to him as well! Now... It is with excitement and enthusiasm that we share with you that Dr. Deva Chan has accepted our offer to serve as the Director of Graduate Programs. We are convinced that she will add another layer of success to BME using the great foundation that has been laid by many before her. Deva is a passionate advocate for graduate education and has been an active member of the BME Graduate Committee. As a Purdue graduate alum (PhD, 2012), she is invested in ensuring that our graduate program continues to gain recognition and improve its rankings. Deva brings experience from her involvement in graduate programs at multiple PhD-granting institutions. She also serves as a faculty representative in BME for Purdue's Sloan Center for Systemic Change, which focuses on achieving equity for graduate students in STEM. Deva's experience and commitment to graduate education make her an excellent fit for this leadership position in the Weldon School. As Director of Graduate Programs, she will continue the work of Mike Heinz and Andrew Brightman, further focusing our program on student mentorship. Deva will also lead the ongoing integration of the graduate curriculum and training environment offered at the Indianapolis and West Lafayette sites. Please join us in welcoming Deva into her new role as she guides our graduate programs to new heights of excellence. -- Kevin Otto, Ph.D. Dane A.

BME PhD Preliminary Exam Announcement for Adam Wright (Y. Tong, advisor) Everyone is invited to attend the public presentation beginning at 1:00 PM. Title: Clinically feasible functional MRI providing independent assessments of cerebrovascular stiffness and microcirculation in typical aging and Alzheimer's Disease cohorts Date: August 13th Time: 1:00 PM Location: MJIS 1083 and Zoom: https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/9302687285?pwd=MUF1WDludmxQMzYwdkVUNWFWakhNQT09<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpurdue-ed…> Advisory committee: Yunjie Tong, Chair; Vitaliy L. Rayz; Igor A. Fernandes; Qiuting Wen Abstract: With over 50 million people affected globally, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia. The progression of AD dementia is complex and involves multiple factors, with a notable decrease in cerebrovascular function linked to its development. Despite the importance of vascular health in AD prognosis, we lack adequate methods to assess the health of the brain’s blood vessels. To address these challenges, we will develop a non-invasive imaging tool using specialized processing on conventional resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) scans to measure cerebrovascular health, including vascular stiffness and microvascular health. These metrics will be measured in two large datasets: the Human Connectome Project (HCP) – Aging and the Indiana Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (IADRC). The HCP dataset, which includes over 700 participants aged 35 to 100 years, will provide insights into typical vascular aging. This will allow us to adjust for typical age-related changes when assessing the associations of cerebrovascular health with cognitive function across a spectrum of cognitive impairment in the IADRC dataset. The central hypothesis is that measures of vascular stiffness and microvascular function derived from specialized rs-fMRI image processing will significantly correlate with typical aging. After adjusting for typical aging, these measures are expected to significantly correlate with cognitive impairment within the spectrum of AD pathology. This study aims to develop non-invasive methods for measuring vascular stiffness and microvascular function in the brain, providing the potential to enhance our understanding of how vascular health impacts AD dementia.
