The leak has been fixed. The chilled water is working fine. Boiler Up! Rhonda Jones O 765.494.3940 | C 765.427.2065 rwjones(a)purdue.edu<mailto:rwjones@purdue.edu> Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering From: Rhonda Wolf Jones Sent: Wednesday, November 5, 2025 12:37 PM To: bmeroundtable-list(a)ecn.purdue.edu Subject: Chilled water shut down THURSDAY Importance: High There is a CHW leak under the road North of the Flex lab, and it is unfortunately on a vent line that needs to be cut off so we will need to do an emergency chilled water shutdown. We are looking at shutting the chilled water off at 7:30 am and having it turned back on by 1:30 pm tomorrow. This would mean there would be no chilled water to the following buildings FLEX, DLR, MJIS, HOCK, and HLAB during this timeframe. If we get done sooner than this, we will turn the chilled water back on and I will reach out to let everyone know. We apologize for the short notice but due to unforeseen circumstances and the weather outcast Friday, this looks like our only option. -- Bmeroundtable-list mailing list Bmeroundtable-list(a)ecn.purdue.edu https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECN/mailman/listinfo/bmeroundtable-list

[Bmeroundtable-list] BME PhD Preliminary Exam Announcement for Juan C. Mesa (Dr. Hyowon "Hugh" Lee, Advisor)

04 Nov '25

BME PhD Preliminary Exam Announcement for Juan C. Mesa (Dr. Hyowon "Hugh" Lee, Advisor) Title: Towards a Fully Automated and Wearable Emergency Drug Delivery System Everyone is invited to attend the public presentation beginning at 12:00 PM (Noon). Date: November 17, 2025 Time: 12:00 PM (Noon) Location: MJIS 2001 and Zoom Zoom link: https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/99406996591?pwd=lyrvFLc1OHeY3kz4gwxzDTpljHd7mL…<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpurdue-ed…> Committee Members: Dr. Hyowon "Hugh" Lee (Chair); Dr. Chi Hwan Lee; Dr. Kinam Park; Dr. Steve Son Abstract: Opioid overdose remains a major public health crisis in the United States, responsible for nearly 80,000 deaths in 2023. Synthetic opioids such as fentanyl continue to drive this epidemic, underscoring the urgent need for rapid detection and autonomous intervention strategies. Although naloxone is the standard antidote, its effectiveness depends on timely administration, which is rarely possible when overdoses occur without witnesses or in areas with limited healthcare access. Current wearable or implantable systems for overdose monitoring lack integrated drug delivery capability, while existing mechanical patches are invasive and poorly accepted by users. To address this need, this project aims to develop a closed-loop, noninvasive, needle-free naloxone delivery system powered by the solid micropropellant BTATz (3,6-bis(1H-1,2,3,4-tetrazol-5-ylamino)-s-tetrazine), enabling rapid and controlled transdermal administration in response to physiological cues of overdose. The system integrates near-infrared spectroscopy for continuous respiratory monitoring and a microfabricated actuator capable of generating high-velocity microjets for immediate drug delivery. To support preclinical development, an in vivo fentanyl-induced rat overdose model will be established to characterize physiological responses to opioid toxicity and to provide preliminary validation of naloxone delivery strategies. Data from these studies will inform optimization of actuation parameters, dosing, and feedback control for future wearable prototypes. Successful completion of this project will demonstrate the feasibility and translational potential of micropropellant-driven closed-loop actuation for fast, autonomous, and life-saving drug delivery in opioid overdose emergencies. -- Bmeroundtable-list mailing list Bmeroundtable-list(a)ecn.purdue.edu https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECN/mailman/listinfo/bmeroundtable-list

[Bmeroundtable-list] MJIS Air Handling/Door Issue
by Crystal D O'Neal 03 Nov '25

03 Nov '25

We have an air handling issue in MJIS. The building has gone to negative pressure, and all doors are extremely hard to open. We are trying to find the on-call crew to come in. Not sure when someone will show up. Everyone needs to use caution when trying to enter the building as the doors may be very difficult to open and then could potentially slam shut quickly. We will provide status as we can. -- Bmeroundtable-list mailing list Bmeroundtable-list(a)ecn.purdue.edu https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECN/mailman/listinfo/bmeroundtable-list
