FW: Please Submit: Grad Students Abroad
by Johnson, Beverly J 04 Mar '20

04 Mar '20

Please see the email below. Let me know if you know of any students out of the country, where they are, when they left (or are leaving) and when they will return. I will fill out the info for the college. Thank you so much!! Bev Johnson Graduate Program Administrator Chemical Engineering Forney Hall 2037D Purdue University 765-494-4057 [P bling] Colleagues, New guidelines from the CDC that are recommending cancellation of foreign exchange programs make it more imperative that we know where our graduate students are currently carrying out their research. The Graduate School is requesting a list of all graduate students currently out of the country, even if they are not in a current level 2+ country. Please complete the following form for any CoE (on-campus) graduate students you know who are currently out of the country or who have imminent travel plans. While this is targeting grad students on research and other university business, the form may also be used to record vacation and other international travel. Submit information here: https://purdue.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_a3RI1MNjGiVeY0l Please share this request widely, and submit information as soon as possible. Information may be submitted by any faculty or staff, or the graduate students themselves. Thank you, Janet -------------------------------------------------- Janet Beagle, Ph.D. Senior Director of Graduate Programs Purdue University│College of Engineering Email: jbeagle(a)purdue.edu<mailto:jbeagle@purdue.edu> Phone: 765-494-0600

Petit Institute for Bioengineering and Bioscience Petit Director's Chair in Bioengineering and Bioscience Regents' Professor of Mechanical Engineering George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology Website<http://garcialab.gatech.edu/> Bio: Andrés J. García is the Executive Director of the Petit Institute for Bioengineering and Bioscience and Regents' Professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Dr. García's research program integrates innovative engineering, materials science, and cell biology concepts and technologies to create cell-instructive biomaterials for regenerative medicine and generate new knowledge in mechanobiology. This cross-disciplinary effort has resulted in new biomaterial platforms that elicit targeted cellular responses and tissue repair in various biomedical applications, innovative technologies to study and exploit cell adhesive interactions, and new mechanistic insights into the interplay of mechanics and cell biology. In addition, his research has generated intellectual property and licensing agreements with start-up and multi-national companies. He has received several distinctions, including the NSF CAREER Award, Arthritis Investigator Award, Young Investigator Award from the Society for Biomaterials, Georgia Tech's Outstanding Interdisciplinary Activities Award, the Clemson Award for Basic Science from the Society for Biomaterials, and the International Award from the European Society for Biomaterials. He has been recognized as a top Latino educator by the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers. He is an elected Fellow of Biomaterials Science and Engineering (by the International Union of Societies of Biomaterials Science and Engineering), Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering. He served as President for the Society for Biomaterials in 2018-2019. ******* ******* "Bioengineered Synthetic Hydrogels for Regenerative Medicine" Tuesday, February 25, 2020 3:00 p.m. - 4:15 p.m. FRNY G140 - Reception at 2:30 p.m. in Henson Atrium - Abstract: Hydrogels, highly hydrated cross-linked polymer networks, have emerged as powerful synthetic analogs of extracellular matrices for basic cell studies as well as promising biomaterials for regenerative medicine applications. A critical advantage of these synthetic matrices over natural networks is that bioactive functionalities, such as cell adhesive sequences and growth factors, can be incorporated in precise densities while the substrate mechanical properties are independently controlled. We have engineered poly(ethylene glycol) [PEG]-maleimide hydrogels to study epithelial morphogenesis and identified independent contributions of biophysical and biochemical properties of these materials to this developmental process. In another application, we have developed synthetic hydrogels that support improved pancreatic islet engraftment, vascularization and function in diabetic models. These studies establish these biofunctional hydrogels as promising platforms for basic science studies and biomaterial carriers for cell delivery, engraftment and enhanced tissue repair. ******* ******* Davidson School of Chemical Engineering<https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE> Purdue University West Lafayette, IN 47907 (765) 494-4050<tel:+17654944050> © 2020 Purdue University<http://www.purdue.edu/purdue/disclaimer.html> All rights reserved An equal access/equal opportunity university<http://www.purdue.edu/purdue/ea_eou_statement.html> _______________________________________________ Che-faculty-list mailing list Che-faculty-list(a)ecn.purdue.edu<mailto:Che-faculty-list@ecn.purdue.edu> https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECN/mailman/listinfo/che-faculty-list -- Prof. Julie C.

Zone personnel will be seen in and out of buildings doing what we can to keep critical areas running. The cold temperatures outside will make it very difficult to keep units running as they have a safety to prevent damage below 38 degrees. Please report any leaks or other concerns as quickly as possible and we will respond accordingly.
