Clarivate, a global web analytics company, has unveiled its 2021 list of Highly Cited Researchers.

Purdue Engineers are collaborating with the Indiana University School of Medicine to convert medical imaging data of cerebral aneurysms into computational models that can help to predict the progression of an individual patient's aneurysm.

Purdue University and physIQ, a leader in digital medicine, co-developed a viral detection algorithm for smartwatches. The research was led by Craig Goergen, Purdue's Leslie A. Geddes Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering.

Nan Kong, professor of biomedical engineering at Purdue University, has been awarded a Seed Grant from the Shah Family Global Innovation Lab.

Fourteen new projects, two of which have ties to Weldon School faculty, have been funded by the 2021 Trailblazer Awards and Planning Grants, which are supported by Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute (CTSI) Community Health Partnerships.

Current BME PhD student, Ángel Enríquez, was chosen as a LATinE Trailblazers in Engineering Fellow through Purdue University's College of Engineering.

Purdue researchers, including BME’s Maria Dadarlat, were selected as part of the newly created $15 million NSF HDR Institute of Accelerated AI Algorithms for Data-Driven Discovery (A3D3). The project will incorporate AI algorithms with new processors such that they can analyze unprecedented data sets.

Far-field fluorescence microscopy is a powerful tool in biological research due to its live cell compatibility and molecular specificity. A major hurdle over the last ~100 years has been the limited resolution due to the diffraction of light. But thanks to a federal grant, one Purdue researcher hopes to break down the barriers which will allow direct visualization of cellular dynamics and nanoscale architectures in live cells and tissue sections.

Imagine the day when any tissue or organ can be repaired or the replacements personalized to the patient. That’s one of the goals of work being done by BME’s David Umulis and a team of scientists at the Emergent Mechanisms in Biology of Robustness, Integration and Organization (EMBRIO) Institute. They’re using artificial intelligence in biology to see how cells defend themselves and/or repair their damage.

Deva Chan, assistant professor of Biomedical Engineering, has been awarded a 2021 Young Faculty Award (YFA) by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) within the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). Chan’s collaborators on this Award include Purdue's Douglas Brubaker, assistant professor of Biomedical Engineering, and Timothy Lescun, a professor and large animal surgeon in the College of Veterinary Medicine.
