In his annual open letter to the Purdue community, President Mitch Daniels addresses the top issues facing our university and higher ed at large — including a nationwide decline in college enrollment, the shortage of qualified underrepresented minority students, student debt, and the prospect of compensating student athletes — and how Purdue plans to address these and other matters strategically in the new year.

When bacteria like salmonella infect and sicken people, they hijack a person’s cell proteins to develop a defense against an immune response. Understanding how that works and developing methods for defending against these bacteria is difficult because scientists haven’t been able to track the hundreds of proteins involved in real time. Now, W. Andy Tao, professor of biochemistry, and colleagues at Purdue and Fudan University in China, have developed a chemical method for labeling a living bacteria and tracking it as it invades a host cell.

One of the challenges in using machine learning for drug development is to create a process for the computer to extract information from a pool of data points. Drug scientists must pull biological data and train the software to understand how a typical human body will interact with the combinations that come together to form a medication. Purdue drug discovery researchers have created a new framework for mining data for training machine learning models.
