The Royal Microscopical Society (RMS) is delighted to announce Professor Joseph Paul Robinson as its latest Honorary Fellow. Robinson, known as Paul and even ‘JPR’, has made a huge contribution worldwide to the field of Cytometry. This includes his list-serv ‘Purdue Cytometry List’ which is utilized by over 4,500 cytometrists, his work to teach Cytometry in Africa through his Cytometry for Life organization, and his patented Cytometry technologies.

Optometrists, ophthalmologists and their patients will benefit from new, high-tech tools to detect glaucoma at its earliest stages thanks to a startup that will commercialize smart contact lenses developed at Purdue University.

Aanis Ahmad, Bradley Fitzgerald, Andrew Fix and Emilee Madsen are the 2023 selections.

Two College of Engineering faculty members have been named fellows of the National Academy of Inventors (NAI), the organization announced on Dec. 8.

Sarah Libring, a Ph.D. student in the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering, is closing the chapter on her legacy made at Purdue University.

Sarah was first exposed to engineering through the PLTW (Project Lead the Way) program in her high school. Around the same time, she watched a TED talk about regenerative medicine work and discovered the interdisciplinary field of biomedical engineering. While pursuing her B.S. in biomedical engineering at Rutgers University, Sarah conducted research through the Rutgers Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Department and through the Rutgers Biomedical Engineering Department, publishing work from both laboratories. She also participated in two REU (Research Experiences for Undergraduates) programs at the University of Texas at Austin and Purdue University. Through these endeavors, she fostered research interests focused on understanding cellular responses to traumatic environments, such as during wound healing and cancer formation, and decided to continue research through a Ph.D. program.
