BME DISTINGUISHED RESEARCH SEMINAR SERIES Wednesday, Feb. 26, 2025 9:30 - 10:20 am, MJIS 1001 ZOOM LINK: https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/95301457637<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpurdue-ed…> *Note: Students enrolled in the seminar course are expected to attend in person. "Advances in Vibrational Spectroscopy for Non-Destructive Musculoskeletal Tissue Assessment" [cid:image003.jpg@01DB8374.18305FB0] Nancy Pleshko, Ph.D. Laura H. Carnell Professor Dept. of Bioengineering, Temple University, Philadelphia, PA Abstract: Recent advances in vibrational spectroscopy have provided new insights into the molecular composition and structural organization of biological tissues. Infrared spectroscopy, a label-free and often nondestructive technique, is particularly well-suited for assessing the extracellular matrix (ECM) in normal, developing, aging, pathological, and therapeutically treated tissues. This presentation will explore novel infrared spectroscopic modalities for musculoskeletal tissue analysis, including fiber-optic approaches and sub-micron optical photothermal infrared (O-PTIR) spectroscopy. Conventional gold-standard methods for evaluating tissue composition and integrity-such as histology, biochemical assays, and mechanical testing-are inherently destructive, limiting their use for real-time monitoring of tissue development. In contrast, fiber-optic spectroscopy enables non-destructive in situ assessment of engineered cartilage, facilitating the definition of appropriate compositional endpoints during growth. Similarly, transcutaneous near-infrared spectroscopy is being investigated as a non-invasive tool for transcutaneous evaluation of bone quality. Additionally, O-PTIR spectroscopy represents a breakthrough in infrared imaging by surpassing the traditional diffraction limit, enabling spectral data collection at 500 nm resolution from intact tissues. Data related to bone pathology applications will be presented, highlighting the potential of this technique for high-resolution tissue analysis. Overall, this talk will discuss the applications of vibrational spectroscopy for non-destructive tissue assessment and imaging, with an emphasis on its translational potential for clinical applications. Biography: Dr. Nancy Pleshko is a Laura H. Carnell Professor in the Department of Bioengineering in the College of Engineering at Temple University, Philadelphia, PA. She received her BSc degree in Chemistry from McGill University, Montreal, Canada, and her PhD in Chemistry from Rutgers University, NJ, in the field of spectroscopic applications to biomineralization. She was the director of the Musculoskeletal Imaging and Spectroscopy Laboratory at the Hospital for Special Surgery, an affiliate of Weill Cornell Medical School in New York City, for 15 years prior to joining Temple University in 2009. Dr. Pleshko's research program focuses on assessment of tissues at the molecular, cellular, and structural level through application and development of optical spectroscopic approaches in concert with complementary techniques. Her research program encompasses basic and translational research in connective tissue pathophysiology, including osteoarthritis and cartilage repair, tissue engineering, osteoporosis and osteogenesis imperfecta. She is a Fellow of the Orthopedic Research Society and of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE), has received continuous funding from the National Institutes of Health since 1997 and has published over 170 peer-reviewed articles. ~ BME Host: Rachel Surowiec ~ -- Bmeroundtable-list mailing list Bmeroundtable-list(a)ecn.purdue.edu https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECN/mailman/listinfo/bmeroundtable-list

A substantial amount of medical research is now focusing on the molecular biology of individual tumors to selectively target pathways involved in tumor progression. Increased understanding of molecular mechanisms that mediate the pathogenesis of cancers is leading to careful manipulation of these pathways and new cell-specific approaches to cancer therapy are now being developed. At the same time, advances in cancer immunotherapies have led to a reemergence of their use and effectiveness. Using data-driven computational models is a powerful and practical way to investigate the therapeutic potential of novel combinations of these two very different strategies for clinical cancer treatment. This talk will showcase a suite of mathematical models designed to optimize the use of targeted drug treatment strategies in combination with immunotherapy. The goal is to gain a more robust understanding of how specific tumor mutations affect the immune system and ultimately impact the efficacy of combination therapy. Combined with existing and newly generated experimental data, these mathematical models are poised to improve the ability to connect promising drugs for clinical trials and reduce the time and costs associated with transitioning novel therapeutic approaches from "equations to bench to bedside." https://www.purdue.edu/science/events/science/2025/purdue-mathematics-2025-… Workshops and Deadlines Here are some upcoming workshops and deadlines more detailed information about the workshops will be sent out separately closer to the event.

Title: Quantifying the Intercellular Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Ebolavirus Transmission using a Multi-scale Agent-based Model Date: February 28th Time: 10:30 am Location: DLR 131 and Zoom - https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/98807245615?pwd=Fqo3jRo1eGW67oeQSzLNCSbsd3MiQE…<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpurdue-ed…> Committee: Elsje Pienaar (advisor), Charles Babbs, Leopold Green, Robert Stahelin Abstract: Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) is a severe and often fatal illness caused by infection with the genus Ebolavirus (EBOV). Characterized by hemorrhagic fever and multi-system organ failure, EVD has resulted in more than 30 outbreaks since its discovery in 1976, with case-fatality rates reaching up to 100%. Despite advancements in vaccines and therapeutics, mortality remains high, and existing treatments can cause severe side effects. A critical gap in our understanding of EBOV pathogenesis lies in the mechanisms governing protein-protein and lipid-protein interactions that drive viral assembly and cell-to-cell spread. This gap hinders the development of targeted antiviral therapies. To overcome the challenges of studying live EBOV in Biosafety Level 4 laboratories due to its high contagiousness, researchers have developed recombinant systems that express subsets of EBOV genes in mammalian cells. One such system involves the viral matrix protein VP40, which independently assembles into virus-like particles (VLPs) that mimic the morphology and budding properties of EBOV virions. Co-expression of VP40 with nucleoprotein (NP), a key component of the viral nucleocapsid, enhances VLP production and results in two distinct VLP populations: one incorporating NP inclusion bodies (NP-VLPs) and another lacking them (non-NP VLPs). However, the precise mechanisms by which NP modulates VP40 VLP formation and trafficking remain unclear. To address this, we extend previous single-cell differential equation model of VP40-NP interactions into a multi-scale agent-based model that simulates these dynamics at a population level. By integrating experimental data with computational modeling, I aim to elucidate how intracellular NP-VP40 interactions propagate across a multicellular environment to sustain viral assembly and egress. This approach will provide novel insights into EBOV protein dynamics and contribute to a standardized computational framework for studying viral-host interactions, ultimately informing antiviral drug development and therapeutic strategies. -- Bmeroundtable-list mailing list Bmeroundtable-list(a)ecn.purdue.edu https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECN/mailman/listinfo/bmeroundtable-list

BME Master's Defense Announcement for John Salvas (C. Goergen, advisor) Everyone is invited to attend the public presentation beginning at 9:00 am. Title: Quantification of left atrial and left ventricular disease progression using high-frequency ultrasound Date: March 4th Time: 9:00 am Location: MJIS 2001 or Zoom - https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/4941561938?omn=92885446351<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpurdue-ed…> Committee: Craig Goergen (Chair), Pierre Sicard, Steven Steinhubl Abstract: Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Routine cardiac monitoring involves non-invasive imaging techniques which are also employed in clinical and preclinical research. Current echocardiographic technologies allow for robust characterization of global and regional cardiac function in a variety of cardiovascular disease states. While there is a great deal of focus on left ventricular function, left atrial function is emerging as a useful imaging biomarker to predict ventricular function and outcomes. To further explore the predictive nature of left atrial function, we employed a murine model of pressure overload and assessed the relationship between left atrial and ventricular function. Moreover, we built upon advanced four-dimensional image analysis techniques to evaluate the complex global and regional function of the left atrium not typically captured by traditional echocardiographic approaches. We then implemented these techniques in a murine model of reversible pressure overload to assess the reverse remodeling process. Furthermore, we used a similar advanced image analysis technique to monitor the progression of cardiomyopathy in empagliflozin treated and non-treated mice with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Overall, we employ advanced imaging techniques to expand the breadth of cardiovascular research and better understand underlying cardiovascular pathophysiology. -- Bmeroundtable-list mailing list Bmeroundtable-list(a)ecn.purdue.edu https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECN/mailman/listinfo/bmeroundtable-list
