The striking similarities between invasive bladder cancer in dogs and humans have fueled research advances for more than three decades. Most of that work has looked at separate aspects of the disease — risk factors, early detection, symptoms, treatment and gene expression. But a new project at Purdue that combines many types of available data in a “digital twin” model of bladder cancer may prove powerful enough to predict patient outcomes, starting with the probability of metastasis.
Following a national search, Purdue professor of toxicology Aaron Bowman has been appointed dean of Purdue’s College of Health and Human Sciences, effective today (Feb. 10). Bowman joined Purdue in 2018 as head of the School of Health Sciences and has served as interim dean since November 2023.
