[cid:image005.png@01D18BF9.27135130]<https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE> Purdue University School of Chemical Engineering Kelly Lectures Dr. Kristi Anseth Department of Chemical & Biological Engineering University of Colorado, Boulder "Chemical Engineering at the Interface of Discipline" Tuesday, April 19, 2016 3:00-4:15 p.m. FRNY G140 Reception at 2:30 p.m. in Henson Atrium Abstract: When I began my career as an Assistant Professor, I wondered how to distinguish myself in my career. The boundaries between science and engineering, biology and material science, basic and translational research are often blurry, and how does one transition from the ordinary to something that is more extraordinary. One path is to look at the interfaces of fields and training, and this happens to be a path that I pursued. This talk will touch on topics such as when to take risks, how to build a network of support, and how to insure the future success of the chemical engineering field by engaging in research that is valued across disciplines. Bio: Kristi S. Anseth earned her B.S. degree from Purdue University in 1992 and her Ph.D. degree from the University of Colorado in 1994. After post-doctoral research at MIT, she joined the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University of Colorado at Boulder as an Assistant Professor in 1996. Dr. Anseth is presently a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator and Distinguished Professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering. Her research interests lie at the interface between biology and engineering where she designs new biomaterials for applications in drug delivery and regenerative medicine. Dr. Anseth is an elected member of the National Academy of Engineering (2009), the Institute of Medicine (2009), and the National Academy of Sciences (2013). She is a proud Purdue alumna, was honored to receive a Distinguished Engineering Alumni Award (2012), and presently serves on the College of Engineering's Advisory Council. ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** "Cellular Control in a Couple of Clicks" Wednesday, April 20, 2016 11:30 a.m. - 12:20 p.m. FRNY G140 Abstract: Methods for culturing mammalian cells in a biologically relevant context are increasingly needed to study cell and tissue physiology, expand and differentiate progenitor cells, and to grow replacement tissues for regenerative medicine. Two-dimensional culture has been the paradigm for in vitro cell culture; however, evidence and intuition suggest that cells behave differently when they are isolated from the complex architecture of their native tissues and constrained to petri dishes or material surfaces with unnaturally high stiffness, polarity, and surface to volume ratio. As a result, biologists are often faced with the need for a more physiologically relevant 3D culture environment, and many researchers are realizing the advantages of hydrogels as a means of creating custom 3D microenvironments with highly controlled chemical, biological and physical cues. Further, the native ECM is far from static, so ECM mimics must also be dynamic to direct complex cellular behavior. In general, there is an un-met need for materials that allow user-defined control over the spatio-temporal presentation of important signals, such as integrin-binding ligands, growth factor release, and biomechanical signals. Developing such hydrogel mimics of the ECM for 3D cell culture is an archetypal engineering problem, requiring control of numerous properties on multiple time and length scales important for cellular functions. New materials systems have the potential to significantly improve our understanding of how cells receive information from their microenvironment and the role that these dynamic processes may play in controlling the stem cell niche to cancer metastasis. This talk will illustrate our recent efforts to advance hydrogel chemistries for 3D cell culture and dynamically control biochemical and biophysical properties through orthogonal, photochemical click reaction mechanisms.

[cid:image005.png@01D18F18.9AE3EA30]<https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE> Purdue University School of Chemical Engineering GRADUATE SEMINAR SERIES Dr. Mark A. Barteau Director, University of Michigan Energy Institute DTE Energy Professor of Advanced Energy Research; Chemical Engineering and Chemistry "Energy and Engagement" * Thursday, April 28, 2016 * 3:00 - 4:15 p.m. FRNY G140 Reception at 2:30 p.m. in Henson Atrium Abstract: Energy - clean, sustainable, affordable, and environmentally responsible - is the grand challenge of our time. In this era of relatively abundant fossil fuel resources, the challenge of limiting and reducing atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations has become even greater. There is an increasing need to consider "all of the above" carbon strategies, in addition to our "all of the above energy" strategy. Both must include contributions from the local to the global. As engineers we have important roles to play in creation of new technologies and in rigorous analysis of prospective solutions to energy and emissions challenges. There are also important roles in communicating not just with our peers, but with the public and with policy makers. This talk will also consider a few examples and lessons from the author's career.

REMINDER - seminar today. [cid:image001.png@01D1965E.0C3F9200]<https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE> Purdue University School of Chemical Engineering GRADUATE SEMINAR SERIES Faculty Lectureship Award Elçin Içten School of Chemical Engineering, Purdue University "Manufacture of Individualized Dosing: Dropwise Additive Manufacturing of Pharmaceutical Products (DAMPP)" Thursday, April 14, 2016 3:00 - 4:15 p.m. FRNY G140 Abstract: In accordance with the changes observed in health care systems towards more innovative personalized therapies, we present a novel technology for small scale, distributed manufacturing of individualized dosing. A dropwise additive manufacturing process for melt-based solid oral drug production is developed, which utilizes the drop-on-demand (DoD) printing technology for predictable and highly controllable deposition of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) onto an edible substrate, such as a polymeric film or placebo tablet. This manufacturing method has tremendous potential in individualized dosing because through a combination of drop size and number of drops, the dosage can be precisely and reliably controlled to match the prescribed amount for a patient. The DAMPP process is a viable method for on-demand production of various formulations including solvent based systems, i.e. solvent-polymer-API solutions, and melt based systems, i.e. polymer-API melts. A real-time process management strategy is developed for the dropwise additive manufacturing of pharmaceutical products. The automation program assures synchronous operation of process units, while monitoring process parameters and maintaining process control. For the dropwise additive manufacturing system, the critical process parameters (CPP) are controlled to achieve the desired critical quality attributes (CQA) of the dosage forms. The effect of the CPPs on the final drug property is investigated and it is shown that implementation of a supervisory control system on the process is essential for producing individual dosage forms with the desired CQAs. A polynomial chaos expansion based surrogate model is developed to predict the dissolution profile of the solidified drug deposition given the temperature profile applied on the substrate. Using this model, a hierarchical control system is implemented by monitoring the drop size on-line and predicting a temperature profile to achieve the desired dissolution profile for the dosage forms created. The process control strategy effectively mitigates variations in the dissolution profiles due to variable dosage amounts, hence enabling the application of the DoD system for the production of individualized dosage regimens. The prototype system offers great promise as a tool for advancing personalized medicine by allowing the precise production of convenient solid oral dosages tailored to the patient on site at hospitals, clinics and even pharmacies.
