A new treatment for strokes caused by bleeding in the brain that uses a magnetically controlled microrobot-enabled self-clearing catheter has been shown to be 86% effective in animal models, according to a paper published in Nature Communications. The research led by Dr. Hyowon “Hugh” Lee, associate professor of biomedical engineering in Purdue’s Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering, involves collaboration with neurosurgeons in veterinary and human medicine.

The start of summer means the opportunity for undergraduate and veterinary students to gain first-hand experience working in research laboratories courtesy of the College of Veterinary Medicine’s annual Veterinary Research Scholars Summer Program. This year’s program kicked-off the evening of June 2 with a traditional Indiana picnic, hosted by the college’s Office of Research, at Happy Hollow Park in West Lafayette. A key element of the program is pairing the participants with faculty mentors. Working with their mentor, each participant designs and conducts a summer research project. Additionally, there are opportunities to participate in extracurricular activities, as well as a research poster session where the students are able to share their summer research project with the college’s faculty and staff. Dr. Harm Hogenesch, Purdue Veterinary Medicine associate dean for research and professor of immunopathology, and Dr. Eli Asem, professor of physiology in the Department of Basic Medical Sciences, organize the program by matching students and faculty.

A new treatment for strokes caused by bleeding in the brain that uses a magnetically controlled microrobot-enabled self-clearing catheter has been shown to be 86% effective in animal models, according to a paper published in Nature Communications. Hyowon "Hugh" Lee, a Purdue University associate professor, created the magnetically controlled microdevice that removes blood accumulating in the brain during a stroke. The innovation was tested on porcine models of hemorrhage in collaboration with neurosurgeons Timothy Bentley and Albert Lee from Goodman Campbell Brain and Spine in Carmel, Indiana.

Scientists at Purdue University have created a device that cleans the blood that accumulates in the brain during a stroke. With 86% efficiency in animal models, the new technology is composed of a self-cleaning catheter that works through a magnetically controlled microrobot. The tests were carried out on a swine guinea pig, in collaboration with neurosurgeons from universities and neurology institutes in the United States. A study reporting the achievements was published in January of this year in the scientific journal Nature Communications.

Researchers at both Stanford University and Purdue University have recently published studies on the use of miniaturized robots inserted into the body to treat certain health concerns. The robots could be used to delivered timed doses of medicine, chart the course of a tumor or disease, or even remove obstructions such as blood clots. At Purdue, "microbots" developed by Hyowon "Hugh" Lee, an associate professor from the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering, have been used to remove blood accumulating around the brain after a stroke. Working with neurosurgeons Timothy Bentley, MD, of Purdue's College of Veterinary Medicine, and Albert Lee, MD, from Goodman Campbell Brain and Spine in Carmel, Indiana, he successfully removed pooled blood in six of seven animals.

Purdue University researchers Pengyi Shi, an associate professor of management; Nan Kong, a professor of biomedical engineering; and Omolola A. Adeoye-Olatunde, an assistant professor of pharmacy practice, were recently selected to receive the Shah Family Global Innovation Lab’s 2022 Seed Grant Award. The honor was for their proposal to co-develop a digital solution and decision support system addressing the youth substance abuse crisis in Aru, Democratic Republic of the Congo.

A generous donation from a pioneer in pharmaceutical and biotechnology manufacturing will establish the William D. Young Institute for Advanced Manufacturing of Pharmaceuticals at Purdue University. The university institute, approved by the Purdue University Board of Trustees on Friday (June 10) and launched with a gift from William D. Young, will unite faculty in overhauling pharmaceutical manufacturing with a goal of reducing costs and expanding access to innovative drugs emerging from biotechnology research.

The Indiana Department of Transportation reached out to Purdue engineering professor Luna Lu in 2017 for help with the project. Lu and her team have since created a sensor system capable of telling INDOT how strong a roadway is.
