Wavelogix Secures $3M Investment from Rhapsody Venture Partners

May 28, 2024

Wavelogix' patented REBEL Concrete Strength Sensors, developed at Purdue University, is the world's first-ever, completely BREAK-FREE™, real-time, in-place concrete strength sensing solution. Once embedded, the sensors are able to measure in-place strength directly, without any information about the concrete mix. This innovation enables construction engineers to make data-driven decisions, optimizing schedules, reducing costs, and improving jobsite safety.

Liquid Biopsy Under Development for Measuring Drug Response

May 16, 2024

The lab of W. Andy Tao, professor of biochemistry at Purdue University, is pioneering a way to assess drug response based on metabolizing proteins found in circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs), which could serve as a surrogate of their expression level in the liver and become therapeutic targets for some cancers.
