[cid:image005.jpg@01D9D43F.00816B10] BME WEEKLY ROUNDTABLE August 21, 2023 START OF CLASSES - FALL 2023 INTERIM HEAD'S NOTE Goooooood Day, Weldon! Welcome back! I taught this morning at 8:30 am. I saw 50 eager-to-learn faces in the classroom. I challenged them with a teaser of Python coding to assess their coding competency. I felt many of us were ready to hit the ground and run. I wish you do the same. * We will have our first faculty meeting of the new semester on this Friday, which is followed by our Ice Cream Social. Wayne Chen and Luna Lu, the two associate deans will be there. Faculty, please be sure to attend the meeting and EVERYONE, come out to the Ice Cream Social to mingle and celebrate the beginning of the semester. * The college is moving from a "topic/area-based" hiring model to a "talent-based" hiring model. We are tasked to provide a list of "Moveable Dream Hires" by September 30th. Please provide your inputs: 1. Senior, mid-career, or early career rising star faculty talent. Encourage nominations of enriched pool with diversified candidates. 2. Faculty has outstanding academic records evidenced by primary AAU membership and related metrics: * Strong research funding from competitive grants, high research expenditure * High number of journal publications, books, book chapters, and discipline-normed citations * Recipients of prestigious awards in their fields * Demonstrated ability to place their graduate students in top schools. * I have got some clarity on the IUPUI integration. Vitaliy, Young, and I will make a few remarks in the faculty meeting this Friday. * As you know, the BME Advisory Board meeting will be a month away. Let me know if you have any suggestions. Have a good semester! UPCOMING IMPORTANT DATES Week of August 21 Mon., Aug. 21: Special BME Seminar, 9:00 a.m., MJIS 2001.

MJIS Updates PLEASE NOTE that new seating assignments have been distributed/enforced for the graduate student seating areas in MJIS, based on the faculty members' requests. Due to the number of incoming students, rows containing three seats WILL have three students assigned. Please be courteous of others, and contain your desk items within your assigned space. Do not spill over into another student's seating assignment. Telephone Systems Updates Purdue IT is completing its long-running project to retire the phone switch installed more than 25 years ago. A couple of changes that may affect you: (1) Moving to utilize 10-digit dialing for all outgoing calls: This dialing method requires users to dial the area code of the person being called as part of the dialing process. For example, 765-555-5555. All digits will be required by the end of August 2023. This is a requirement dictated to use by our Carrier and is now standard nationwide. If you would like to know more about 10-digit dialing, the following website contains more information: https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/ten-digit-dialing<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fcc.gov%2Fconsumers%2Fguides%2Ften-digit-dialing&data=05%7C01%7Cbmeroundtable-list%40ecn.purdue.edu%7Cdeb0205688b941c153f608dba277ab06%7C4130bd397c53419cb1e58758d6d63f21%7C0%7C0%7C638282407557689612%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=CLB3jjb%2BM4ZoQ%2F1Mt6g9QLJgIlHD4HvkIWwPfAEWmFw%3D&reserved=0> (2) International calling: The current process using international access cards will no longer be supported. If you have an international calling card and need the ability to dial internationally then please complete the form at: https://purdue.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1FVkar7IS9zKvjg<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpurdue.ca1.qualtrics.com%2Fjfe%2Fform%2FSV_1FVkar7IS9zKvjg&data=05%7C01%7Cbmeroundtable-list%40ecn.purdue.edu%7Cdeb0205688b941c153f608dba277ab06%7C4130bd397c53419cb1e58758d6d63f21%7C0%7C0%7C638282407557845864%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=U0Q9Eg72kdGM28vmUMxMomg%2FelkVhG0Vkwsj5E0nDP0%3D&reserved=0> If you have questions or concerns, please contact it@purdue.edu<mailto:it@purdue.edu> Procurement/Purchasing Update A message from Zac DeHenes, Operations Manager, Engineering Employment & Procurement Center: We've had several individuals reach out regarding broken versions of the COE Purchase Request Form. I have updated the form and uploaded a fresh copy to our Procurement Center website<https://engineering.purdue.edu/Engr/AboutUs/Administration/BusinessOffice/procurement>. I have also attached it here for your reference. Please delete any previous versions of the form that you have to help ensure that the updated version is the only one circulating. Important ISS Updates As we enter a new academic year, ISS would like to share the following information with the advising community: Official End of COVID Procedural Adaptations Earlier this summer the Department of Homeland Security announced that COVID-related procedural adaptations for international students would come to an end at the end of the 2023 academic year. All international students must meet minimum full-time enrollment requirements each semester as defined by federal regulation. Minimum enrollment requirements for international students are: * Graduate students must enroll in and complete at least eight credit or research hours each fall and spring semester (unless it is the student's final semester). * Graduate students who hold a graduate staff appointment must enroll in and complete at least six credit or research hours each fall and spring semester (unless it is the student's final semester). Distance Learning No more than the equivalent of one class or a maximum of three credit hours of coursework delivered via distance/online/synch/asynch may be used toward an international student's minimum enrollment requirements. Final Semester Students who are in their final semester MUST be enrolled in all remaining coursework required to complete the degree, they must enroll in at least one class that requires their physical presence on campus for most of their final semester - even when summer is the student's final semester, and the distance learning limitation is still in play. If students have questions about final semester enrollment requirements, please refer them to the ISS office. ISS Contact Student Services<https://www.purdue.edu/ippu/iss/student/StudentcontactInfo.html>. If a student is not properly enrolled during their final semester, they will lose valuable post-completion benefits which can severely impact their future goals. Experiential Education and Employment Reminder All off-campus internships, co-ops, externships, practicums, volunteer opportunities, fellowships, and remote work for non-Purdue employers must be evaluated by ISS to determine if authorization for Curricular Practical Training is required to participate. On-Campus Employment Restrictions On-campus employment is strictly limited to a maximum of 20:00 hours per week for international students, while school is in session. Students may only exceed 20 hours per week during Spring Break, Winter Break, and the summer (unless the student is required to be enrolled in the summer session). Thank you for your collaboration and partnership as we work together to keep our Boilermakers from abroad informed of their options. If you have any questions, feel free to contact our office during our phone advising hours (765-494-5770) or email us at ISS@purdue.edu<mailto:ISS@purdue.edu> (note: the ISS email address is not for student use).

Nicola Marchi, Ph.D. of the Institute de Genomique Fonctionnelle, Université de Montpellier, CNRS, INSERM, Montpellier, France will present "The Neurovascular Unit: >From disease mechanisms to diagnostics. Abstract: The term neurovascular unit (NVU) indicates a brain-specific multi-cellular assembly controlling brain homeostasis for physiological neuronal transmission in networks. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) within the NVU is the microvascular interface that governs the exchanges between the peripheral blood and the brain parenchyma. It regulates or partakes in inflammatory modifications occurring during disease. Within this framework, we examine BBB damage as a pathophysiological entry point that allows diagnostic strategies for brain disorders. We examine human and experimental focal epilepsy as a prototype disease to study NVU dysfunctions.

Leopold Green, PhD, Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Purdue will present "Designing living therapeutics to control host immunity." (NOTE: Students registered for the seminar are expected to attend in-person.) Abstract: Immune response is critical in septic wound healing. The aberrant and imbalanced signaling dynamics primarily cause a dysfunctional innate immune response, exacerbating pathogen invasion of injured tissue and further stalling the healing process. To design biological controllers that regulate the critical divergence of the immune response during septicemia, we need to understand the intricate differences in immune cell dynamics and coordinated molecular signals of healthy and sepsis injury. Here, we deployed an ordinary differential equation (ODE)-based model to capture the hyper and hypo-inflammatory phases of sepsis wound healing. Our results indicate that impaired macrophage polarization leads to a high abundance of monocytes, M1, and M2 macrophage phenotypes, resulting in immune paralysis. Using a model-based analysis framework, we designed a biological controller which successfully regulates macrophage dysregulation observed in septic wounds. Our model describes a systems biology approach to predict and explore critical parameters as potential therapeutic targets capable of transitioning septic wound inflammation toward a healthy, wound-healing state.

Alexander L. Francis, Shirley Rietdyk, Jeffrey Haddad, Sharon Christ, Melissa Newell, Sarah Burgin will present "Updated results from a study relating the effects of hearing loss and listening conditions on postural sway to fall risk in older adults." Abstract: Hearing loss is associated with increased fall risk in older adults, but multiple mechanisms have been proposed to account for this. Hearing loss may reduce spatial awareness and/or increase cognitive load, both of which may increase fall risk but may be ameliorated by hearing aid use. We are currently finishing a study study comparing fall incidence in daily life with postural sway measured under various listening conditions in older adults with and without hearing aids. An earlier version of this talk reported results from the first 17 participants (7 with hearing aids, 10 without). We have now completed enrollment and initial testing of 46 participants, each of whom stood with feet together and eyes closed, listening to noise vocoded speech (4, 8, 16 channels) and spatially distributed environmental sounds (silence, 1, 3 sources) for 1 minute per condition while postural sway was recorded in the lab. Participants subsequently reported daily near-falls and falls for 4 months (this phase will be completed in December). Initial results from the first 17 participants suggested that hearing aid users were more stable (or more rigid) than non-users and this pattern appears similar in the larger sample. Additional analyses will be presented as time permits.
