Today Seminar Abstract/Announcement

[cid:image003.png@01D11717.26FA9CA0]<https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE> Purdue University School of Chemical Engineering GRADUATE SEMINAR SERIES Dr. Jeremiah Zartman Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering University Notre Dame "Engineering Approaches to Investigate the Regulation of Epithelial Growth and Homeostasis" Tuesday, November 17 2015 3:00 - 4:15 p.m. FRNY G140 Reception at 2:30 p.m. in Henson Atrium Abstract: The revolution in molecular biology within the last few decades has led to the identification of multiple, diverse inputs into the mechanisms governing the measurement and regulation of organ size. In general, organ size and homeostasis is controlled by both intrinsic, genetic mechanisms as well as extrinsic, physiological factors. Examples of the former include the spatiotemporal regulation of organ size by morphogen gradients, and instances of the latter include the regulation of organ development by endocrine hormones, oxygen availability, nutritional status and the mechanics of the microenvironment. However, integrated model platforms, either of in vitro experimental systems amenable to high- resolution imaging or in silico computational models that incorporate both extrinsic and intrinsic mechanisms are lacking. Here, I will discuss collaborative efforts to bridge the gap between traditional assays employed in developmental biology and computational models through quantitative approaches. These interdisciplinary efforts are being applied to develop integrated models of epithelial growth and homeostasis in the larval wing imaginal disc of the fruit fly, due to the wealth of previous genetic knowledge for the system. In particular, I will discuss our current understanding of how intrinsic and extrinsic factors impact the spatiotemporal dynamics and possible functional roles of calcium signaling in development and homeostasis using a combination of microfluidics devices, organ culture and computational modeling of signal transduction. An integrated model of intrinsic and extrinsic growth control is expected to provide greater insight into how cells communicate to coordinate tissue-level responses. Bio: Dr. Jeremiah Zartman received his Bachelors degree from the University of Colorado at Boulder with a dual major in Chemical Engineering and Engineering Physics in 2004. In 2009 he obtained his Ph.D. in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering under the supervision of Prof. Stanislav Shvartsman at Princeton University as a Princeton Hertz Fellow. From 2009-2011, he worked as post-doctoral research in the lab of Prof. Konrad Basler, University of Zurich, in Molecular Life Sciences as an EMBO Long-term Post-doctoral Fellow. Since 2012, Dr. Zartman has led a research group at the University of Notre Dame. The lab focuses on the integration of computational and experimental approaches toward the development and function of multicellular systems as well as the development of advanced in vivo screening approaches for target discovery in cancer and regenerative medicine.

Good morning everyone, Last day to turn in your United Way pledge cards to me in FRNY 1057 is tomorrow Tuesday November 10 at 4pm. Thank you to those who have already donated! As of 11/3/15 we were 55% towards our goal of $65,833.59 for the College of Engineering and Purdue was at 80% towards its goal of $760K.

The theme of this year’s campaign is “Windows of Opportunity.” The campaign leaders have recognized that Engineering has some spectacular windows and selected the MSEE windows as their signature image. In reality, our windows of opportunity are both physical and symbolic. However, Engineering is at only 55% of its goal of $65,833.59. Engineering’s goal is a part of the Purdue goal of $760K, which in turn is part of the Greater Lafayette goal of $5M. I hope you will play a role in making our community stronger.

Construction update Nov 11-20, FYI
by Farmus, Cristina D 05 Nov '15

05 Nov '15

Another crane lift operation will take place between November 9-20, 2015. This will not require building closure due to the lift taking place over the construction area. This activity will not affect building operations and all entrances will remain open. The next crane lift will take place during the Christmas break and will require the addition to be closed.
