"Biological Control Systems," a sub-topic of Control Theory, arises from a control engineering perspective of the function, organization, and coordination of these multi-scale biological systems and the control mechanisms that enable them to carry out their functions effectively. In this presentation, we will provide an overview of how physiological life is made possible by control; demonstrate the usefulness of a control engineering perspective of pathologies for diagnosis, design, and implementation of effective treatments-especially for precision (personalized) medicine; and hence make the case for the central role engineering will play in enabling medicine of the future. The concepts and principles will be illustrated using a specific clinical example involving platelet count control for an immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) patient. ******* ******* Davidson School of Chemical Engineering<https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE> Purdue University West Lafayette, IN 47907 (765) 494-4050<tel:+17654944050> (c) 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>

Update: Schwartz Family
by Gonzalez, Joshua 04 Mar '20

04 Mar '20

Dear ChE Community, It is with a heavy heart that I inform you all that our colleague Melissa Schwartz has experienced the loss of her husband, Kenny Schwartz, who passed away suddenly yesterday. Kenny was a part of our Purdue community and worked as a Birck engineering staff member. Melissa appreciates all of your thoughts and prayers for her and her family during this stressful time. I shall provide an update once I receive any information on what the family plans for arrangements. Thus far our School plans to have a card in the main office and will also be accepting voluntary donations for the Schwartz's family if it is within your desire. We will be sure to notify everyone once these plans are implemented and ready. Sincerely, Joshua --- [Davidson_H-Full-CMYK_1200px] Joshua Gonzalez Operations Coordinator [Phone_1D_11x16px] (765) 494-4365 | [Fax_1D_16x16px] (765) 494-0805

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
