Technology devised to
help reduce injection
pain, swelling

Subcutaneous injection — where the drug is injected into the tissue layer between the skin and the muscle — is emerging as an effective delivery route alternative to intravenous infusion and allows a user to take the drug at home. The practice has not been broadly adopted, in part due to pain and discomfort that occurs during an injection. Purdue researchers have developed technology to help drug manufacturers create new formulations and injection devices of medications to reduce the pain and discomfort.

Purdue scientists develop way to track salmonella infection in real time

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, Professor W. Andy Tao and colleagues have developed a chemical method for labeling a living bacteria and tracking it as it invades a host cell.
