News 8 spoke with Dr. Young Kim, scientist at Purdue University, who wants Hoosiers to know what he and his team are doing to crack down on these pharmaceutical scammers. “The idea is that we want to combine paper watermarking and digital watermarking together using edible protein material,” Kim said. “We want to encode information about the medicine and supply chains into this edible material that is attached to the pill.” Kim says this encoded identification will help people determine what’s real versus what’s not.

Purdue University biomedical engineers and veterinarians have developed a new remote horse slicker that can monitor a horse’s cardiac, respiratory and muscular systems via Bluetooth technology. The e-textile can be useful for long-term management of chronic health conditions in large animals, with the goal to have a version for human use.

African swine fever, a highly contagious swine disease, is in the Dominican Republic. The disease does not infect people, but it can wipe out pork production in a region. Quick identification and containment are key to stopping its spread, and a team of Purdue University researchers that includes a scholar in the College of Veterinary Medicine, is developing a rapid, pen-side test for the disease. The National Animal Health Laboratory Network and the National Animal Disease Preparedness and Response Program has provided $1 million to Dr. Mohit Verma, assistant professor of agricultural and biological engineering at Purdue University, for the project. “A rapid test that can be done in the field is needed for surveillance and diagnosis of African swine fever,” he said. “When it hit China a few years ago, it wiped out 50% of the country’s pig population. It is a devastating disease, and hours, even minutes, matter in containing it.”
