Purdue is proud to be a key partner in the\u00a0National Science Foundation (NSF)<\/a>‘s Regional Innovation Engines award. This investment of up to $160 million over the next decade will help establish the nation’s next musculoskeletal innovation hub right here in Indianapolis!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you to our colleagues at IU for leading this statewide effort, alongside more than 170 partners across Indiana, including\u00a0Eli Lilly and Company<\/a>,\u00a0BioCrossroads<\/a>\u00a0and many others. I also want to recognize our own\u00a0Joseph Wallace<\/a>\u00a0for his leadership in advancing this work through the newly launched Purdue Center for Musculoskeletal Engineering (PCME).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At\u00a0#Purdue<\/a>, we transform healthcare challenges into engineering solutions. Together, we’re strengthening Indiana’s position as a global leader in health innovation while improving health outcomes in our communities.
