Graduate Seminar Series - Dr. Paul Hudson - Thursday, October 27th, (Virtual) *ATTENDANCE IS REQUIRED FOR ALL PHD STUDENTS*
by Waling, Robin M 21 Oct '22

21 Oct '22

On behalf of Purdue University's Davidson School of Chemical Engineering, we are honored to announce our upcoming Graduate Seminar Speaker from the Department of Protein Science, School of Engineering Sciences in Chemistry, Biotechnology and Health from KTH Royal Institute of Technology. He will be presenting virtually on October 27, 2022. You will find further detail regarding the lecture at the end of this email. [https://marketing.purdue.edu/Email/TemplateSets/ChE/Templates/Template04/Im…]<https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE> Graduate Seminar Series [cid:image005.jpg@01D8D3E5.C08B8450] Dr. Paul Hudson Associate Professor Department of Protein Science, School of Engineering Sciences in Chemistry, Biotechnology and Health, KTH Royal Institute of Technology Website<https://www.scilifelab.se/researchers/paul-hudson/> Bio: Dr. Paul Hudson is associate professor in the School of Biotechnology at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. He is a graduate of UC Berkeley (2009 Ph.D. ChE) and NC State University (2004, B.S. ChE) and did post-doctoral training at KTH (2012). He is a Fellow of Science for Life Laboratory (2014), a national laboratory focusing on molecular biology, and a Novo Nordisk Fonden Ascending Investigator (2020). His research is on metabolic engineering of CO2-fixing bacteria, with focus on Calvin cycle bacteria such as cyanobacteria. The research uses systems biology methods such as proteomics to study CO2 fixation metabolism, and to guide engineering strategies for enhancing CO2 uptake and conversion. His group also develops synthetic biology tools in these strains. He is editor of the 2021 book Cyanobacteria Biotechnology (Wiley Advanced Biotechnology Series). ******* ******* Metabolite Regulation of the Bacterial Calvin Cycle Revealed by Interaction Proteomics Thursday, October 27, 2022 3:00 p.m. - 4:15 p.m. Virtual (link below) Zoom<https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/95960353241?pwd=QlBOZmI0V0pVdEhyeUt3WjlZL0lLUT…> Abstract: Metabolite-level regulation of enzyme activity allows microbes to quickly regulate metabolic pathways during environmental shifts. This same regulation can complicate metabolic engineering strategies, as pathway flux becomes restricted. However, our knowledge of such regulations is limited for most microbial strains. Here I will describe our work using recently developed proteomics. methods, such as limited proteolysis small molecule mapping (LiP-SMap) to identify metabolite-protein interactions in the proteomes of cyanobacteria and lithoautotrophic bacteria that fix CO2 using the Calvin cycle. Clustering analysis of the hundreds of detected interactions showed that some metabolites interacted in a species-specific manner, such as interactions of glucose-6-phosphate in Cupriavidus necator and of glyoxylate in Synechocystis sp PCC6803. Metabolite interactions were tested for their effects on enzyme activity with Calvin cycle enzymes fructose-1,6/sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphatase (F/SBPase). The Calvin cycle intermediate GAP activated both Synechocystis and Cupriavidus F/SBPase, indicating a feed-forward activation of the Calvin cycle in both photoautotrophs and chemolithoautotrophs. I will discuss implications of these findings for metabolic engineering in these strains. ******* ******* Davidson School of Chemical Engineering<https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE> Purdue University West Lafayette, IN 47907 (765) 494-4050<tel:+17654944050> (c) 2022 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>

Lessons learned (summary of ChE safety incidents July-October) and other safety communication
by CHE Safety 20 Oct '22

20 Oct '22

Hello everyone, Please find attached a summary of the safety incidents and near misses reported to me from July 2022 to date. I hope that sharing this information with you will prevent similar situations from happening in the future. Please continue to report ALL safety incidents and near misses using the form Safety Incident/Near Miss Report<https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE/aboutus/safety/documents/safety-incident…> posted on our website: https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE/aboutus/safety under "Workplace Injury Information". Recommendation: The ChE safety committee recommends that all labs using gas cylinders keep a dedicated cylinder wrench, such as the Matterson TW-5 Cylinder Handwheel Wrench in the lab, and use it in case the cylinder cap is stuck on and can't be easily removed by hand. This tool can also be used to open cylinder valves. I attach some information regarding the use of a gas cylinder wrench and more information can be found at this link: https://store.mathesongas.com/tw-series-cylinder-wrenches/ Eyewash stations in the lab need to be flushed weekly, and the completion of this task needs to be recorded/logged. Please find attached a template of a log that can be used to record the completion of this task. Please keep the log somewhere near the eye wash station as the safety committee (and REM) is checking on this during safety inspections. Any other logs are accepted, but documentation that the task was completed on a weekly basis is required. The Annual Safety Chair Meeting is scheduled for November 9, 2022, from 8 am- 11 am in Stewart Center, Room 214. Room 218 will feature a safety fair from 7:30 to 11:30 a.m. with a variety of vendor displays along with REM and public safety representatives to answer questions about safety needs. The Safety Chair Meeting is split into three sessions, with the third and final session, 10:15-11 a.m., having a laboratory theme targeting an academic research audience. The full program agenda is available here<https://www.purdue.edu/ehps/rem/documents/misc/2022SCMA.pdf>. If you are interested in participating please register, as Registration<https://cvent.me/rDEdYZ> is required and is due November 2. The safety committee welcomes your suggestions on how we can improve our safety program and safety culture; if you have suggestions please send them to chesafety(a)purdue.edu<mailto:chesafety@purdue.edu>, or to me directly (nagyg(a)purdue.edu<mailto:nagyg@purdue.edu>), or speak with any member of the safety committee (the list is available on our website at the link above). Thank you for your commitment to safety! Sincerely, Gabriela On behalf of the ChE Safety Committee __________________ Gabriela Nagy, PhD Industrial Education Director Davidson School of Chemical Engineering Room FRNY G051 Purdue University Tel: (765)-496-1710 E-mail: nagyg(a)purdue.edu<mailto:nagyg@purdue.edu>

Thank you for your continued support as we strive to reach our goal of $725,000. United Way of Greater Lafayette fights for the health, education, and financial stability of everyone within the Greater Lafayette area. This includes fighting for those with mental health challenges. By partnering with various local organizations that focus on mental health and substance use disorder, United Way is looking to help combat the mental health crisis in the community coming out of the multi-year pandemic. The mental health numbers in our nation are staggering. * 19% of adults in America (over 47 million people) are experiencing a mental illness, and 4.55% are experiencing serious mental illness (over 1 million people). * Over 60% of youth with major depression do not receive any mental health treatment. * 11.1% of Americans with mental illness are uninsured, the second year in a row that this indicator increased since the passage of the affordable care act (ACT). * The state of Indiana is the 10th highest state with frequency of mental illness and low rates of access to care. One of the organizations United Way is partnering with is Mental Health America (MHA). MHA helps individuals navigate mental health challenges through offering trainings, assisting in connecting with local mental health service providers, and providing one on one peer support through their Let's Talk Program. This year, United Way is highlighting MHA's work through Ryan Smith. To see how this United Way partner agency saved Ryan's life, see his video below.
