30 Jun '23

EMBRIO’s All-Hands Annual Retreat is just two weeks away! A draft schedule<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fapp.box.c…> is available. The Retreat will be hosted again this year in the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering, in Martin Jischke Hall of Biomedical Engineering at Purdue University (MJIS Location Map<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgoo.gl%2F…>) . As previously requested, biology thrusts 1, 2, and 3 Leads are coordinating integrated presentations with collaborators. One-hour dedicated sessions are planned for each thrust. Each biology thrust leader: please plan on a 25 min presentation with your collaborators, and 5 min for Q&A. We will feature trainee research during a dedicated poster session the afternoon of Day 1. Trainees and others presenting posters: if you have not already done so, please email me by end of next Monday July 3rd (laddb(a)purdue.edu<mailto:laddb@purdue.edu>) an abstract of your poster that includes a citation at the top with all authors (last names, first initial) and affiliations. Access the EMBRIO poster template<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fapp.box.c…>. Work with your PI and department to print your poster in a 36”H x 48”W format. Purdue faculty mentors of SURF EMBRIO REU students: I’ll be reaching out to the students about presenting a poster, or a 5 min lightning talk - whichever aligns with what they’ve chosen for their SURF symposium. Members at our Partner Institutions: Those who have RSVP’d we have reserved a hotel room for the nights you requested at The Hampton Inn<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hilto…>, just down the hill from Purdue campus (hotel location map<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgoo.gl%2F…>). You don’t need to call to reserve. Your room will be available when you check in on Wednesday afternoon July 12th. Parking will be available in the Discovery Lot<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgoo.gl%2F…> just southwest of Martin Jischke Hall of Biomedical Engineering. For non-Purdue employees please let me know if you require a parking pass. We are looking forward to having everyone together for this second annual retreat!!

Summary - EMBRIO Institute Summer Workshop 2023<https://web.cvent.com/event/ef9c00f9-da49-4de4-95b8-35ce2189d5a0/summary> EMBRIO Institute Summer Workshop 2023. Online registration by Cvent web.cvent.com Hosted by Dr. Jeremiah Zartman at the University of Notre Dame with a theme of Image Acquisition, Processing, and Analysis, tutorials and hands-on sessions are specifically aimed at benefiting trainees from both computational and experimental domains. Sessions will begin Monday, July 10th at 9am and conclude midday Wednesday, July 12th. Goals of the Workshop: * Participants will increase their capacity to connect and converse with each other across the experimental and computational disciplines. * Participants will increase their knowledge, know-how, and confidence using image acquisition, processing, and analysis modalities crucial for advancing research outcomes in the Institute. * Participants will deepen their connections and broaden their personal networks within the Institute. Primary Sessions (will include tutorials and hands-on): * Unit 1: Dr. Sara Cole (Notre Dame) - Microscopy basics, sample preparation, and data acquisition, w/ planned session on using a light sheet microscope * Unit 2: Professor Krishna Jayant and Lab (Purdue) - Fundamentals of image processing, including in-depth sessions on calcium signaling * Unit 3: Professor Gregory Reeves (TAMU) - Raster image correlation spectroscopy (RICS). RICS is a new and novel technique for measuring molecular dynamics and concentrations from fluorescence confocal images. * Unit 4: Dr. Scott Howard (Notre Dame) - Super resolution microscopy techniques and tools * Unit 5: Professor Elsje Pienaar (Purdue) – Data-driven model calibration Detailed workshop itinerary available soon.
