Emboa Medical won first place and $10,000 in the Purdue Innovates Incubator New Venture Challenge for developing a novel blood clot extraction device to improve patient outcomes after strokes.

Purdue Biomedical Engineering student Elnaz Ghajar-Rahimi was awarded the Vevo International Student Award by FUJIFILM VisualSonics for her exceptional research involving the Vevo Imaging Solution.

Biomedical Engineering student Lauren Culp concluded an impactful summer internship at Grifols Worldwide Operations in Dublin, Ireland. The internship provided Culp knowledge into the world of plasma products and services.

This financial award is granted based on academic merit with preference given to graduate students studying in the broad area of hybrid cardiovascular devices. In addition, students engaged in research related to implantable biomaterials design, drug-delivery systems and biochemical sensors.

Shreyas Sen, an Elmore Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering with a courtesy appointment in BME, is taking lessons from the human body’s nervous system to design chips that might get AI to work offline for a network of wearable devices without needing to frequently charge them.

Fang Huang and his research team have developed a single-molecule neural network, named smNet. smNet enabled multiplexed single-molecule analysis to retrieve molecular information with high accuracy.

Jacqueline Linnes received a patent on a new device that selectively collects the liquid condensation of an exhaled breath and the method of using this device. This novel device is portable and can collect and condense reproducible volumes of exhaled breath in about 10 minutes using a unique temperature-based algorithm--improving glucose monitoring for hundreds of patients.

The Weldon School's academic advising team is here to assist, support and help BME students succeed during their time at Purdue.

Congratulations to Jen Hatch, a lecturer with the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering, Purdue University in Indianapolis. Her paper was chosen to represent the Biomedical Engineering Division (BED) at the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) Annual Conference. Her paper exemplified the best part of diversity, equity and inclusion efforts by members of the Biomedical Division.

Martinez received a patent on Inexpensive Disposable Smart Bandages and on Roll-to-Roll Processing of Metallic Nanostructures Using Laser-Induced Superplasticity
