Hello Everyone, In the past few weeks we have been lucky enough to watch from afar the devastation of two hurricanes hitting the southern United States. If you are interested in helping those affected by these natural disasters the GSO has teamed up with a group on campus who is collecting food, clothing, and money for those affected. Please see the attached flyers for information on what they are collecting. If you would like to make a donation that is not monetary, a collection box will be set up in office FRNY 1025 until Friday October 6th. Thank you, Claire Nimlos cnimlos(a)purdue.edu<mailto:cnimlos@purdue.edu> Graduate Student Graduate Student Outreach Chair Chemical Engineering Department at Purdue University [1474383190122_Outreach]

Block Professor and Marvin Sands Department Chair and Holder of Ernest Gallo Endowed Chair, Department of Viticulture & Enology Professor, Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science University of California, Davis Website<https://faculty.engineering.ucdavis.edu/block/> Bio: Professor Block is Marvin Sands Department Chair in Viticulture and Enology at UC Davis and holds the Ernest Gallo Endowed Chair in Viticulture and Enology. Since joining UC Davis, he has conducted research on various topics, from fermentation optimization methods to metabolic engineering of yeast for improved wine production, and played a key role in designing the UC Davis LEED Platinum certified Teaching and Research Winery. He has received the Distinguished Teaching Award from the UC Davis Academic Senate. Prior to joining UC Davis, he worked for Hoffmann-La Roche, Inc. working on biopharmaceutical process development and manufacturing. David holds a B.S.E. from the University of Pennsylvania and a Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota, both in Chemical Engineering. ******* ******* "Elucidating the Mechanism of Ethanol Tolerance in Saccharomyces cerevisiae" Tuesday, September 12, 2017 3:00 p.m. - 4:15 p.m. FRNY G140 - Reception at 2:30 p.m. in BASEMENT LOBBY - Abstract: The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is key to the production of ethanol through fermentation-whether for use as a biofuel or a beverage such as wine or beer. S. cerevisiae has evolved to be highly ethanol tolerant, able to survive in concentrations as high as 20% vol/vol. However, cases where yeast lose their ethanol tolerance in commercial fermentations are a persistent problem, which can be either expensive or impossible to rectify. Our work to understand and predict fermentation kinetics began with a classical modeling approach, which suggested that yeast cells were becoming inactivated prior to dying. We hypothesized that this inactivation was due to physical changes in yeast cell lipid bilayer membrane in the presence of ethanol. Studies with purified lipid bilayers showed significant changes to membrane thickness and lipid spacing in the presence of ethanol that were highly dependent on membrane lipid composition. To follow up on these results, we then studied 22 commercial yeast strains with a range of observed growth characteristics and ethanol tolerance. Using LC-MS, we were able to fully characterize the lipid composition of each of the strains. We found that ethanol tolerance per cell is highly correlated with lipid composition, as hypothesized, and identified key lipids associated with the presence or absence of ethanol tolerance. Unexpectedly, we also observed that lipid composition is even more highly correlated with nutrient utilization efficiency in yeast, which can also be related to observed ethanol tolerance. To understand this relationship, we have used a combination of lipidomic, metabolomic, and transcriptomic analyses.

Hello Everyone, This is a reminder that GSO is collecting solar eclipse glasses for Astronomers Without Borders<http://astronomerswithoutborders.org/awb-programs/resource-sharing-programs…> in a box in office FRNY 1025. If you have an extra pair lying around please consider donating them to an organization that will give them to children in South America and Asia who cannot afford their own for the total eclipse in 2019. Thanks!

If you still have your eclipse glasses and no longer need them please consider donating them to this organization. GSO has set up a box in FRNY 1025 to collect any glasses, please drop off any glasses you would like to donate in this box in the coming weeks.

Safety awareness training session
by Nagy, Gabriela 07 Sep '17

07 Sep '17

Hello Everyone, The next safety awareness training sessions is scheduled for Monday, September 11, 2017 from 2:30-3:30 pm in FRNY 1142. All new employees and researchers need to have initial safety training. If you have new people joining your groups for research, they will need safety training before they start working (e.g. visitors, exchange students, post-docs, etc.). Please ask them to attend this session. Most of our undergraduate students already have the initial training, and would need to take the online refresher. The following documents contain information on additional training requirements for CHE researchers (they are posted on our website: https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE/aboutus/safety under the "Laboratory Safety Requirements" section): * Responsibilities of Safety Officers<https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE/aboutus/safety/responsibilities-of-safet…> * Guidelines for safety training of new researchers in ChE laboratories<https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE/aboutus/safety/guidelines-for-safety-tra…> Thank you, Gabriela __________________ Gabriela Nagy, PhD Industrial Education Director Davidson School of Chemical Engineering Room FRNY G041D Purdue University Tel: (765)-496-1710 E-mail: nagyg(a)purdue.edu<mailto:nagyg@purdue.edu>
