Infants and children are not scaled down versions of adults. The simple mantra led to The Crossroads Pediatric Device Consortium.

A $2.5 million donation to Riley Children’s Foundation adds to the growing momentum of research collaboration between IU School of Medicine and Purdue.

Mohit Verma, PhD, an associate professor in Purdue’s Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering and Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering, is pioneering a trend with national and global import. At The Verma Lab, he’s leading research to develop field-deployable biosensors for One Health: better health of plants, animals, humans, and the environment.

Recently, 30 teams of Biomedical Engineering students (a record 140 students) shared their projects in the Senior Design 2023 competition.

Projects spanned imaging, diagnostics, at-home care, pharmaceuticals, injury rehabilitation and detection, early detection, adaptive and assistive technologies and emergency care.

Digital technologies will play a major role in shaping healthcare’s future. This course teaches students about every aspect of wearables and how to process the continuous data streams from the sensors.

Andrew Otte, PhD is an Emerging Leader in BME. Recently he was awarded $9.85 million from the National Institutes of Health to develop a long-acting biodegradable implant of the drug buprenorphine, which is used for the treatment of opioid use disorder.

Taimoor Qazi, assistant professor at the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering, recently received a $75,000 Junior Investigator grant from the Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation (MTF Biologics) to explore a new injectable biomaterial graft for muscle generation.
