Education and Research | |
|
Purdue University is a world-renowned, public research university that advances discoveries in science, technology, engineering, and math. Through the five pillars of Purdue Moves — affordability and accessibility, online learning, transformative education, world-changing research, and STEM leadership — Purdue is leveraging its historic strengths to promote investment in new ideas and realize its mission to deliver higher education at the highest proven value. Purdue researchers are harnessing expertise across the life and engineering sciences to address some of the greatest challenges facing society today. Their mission is supported by the university’s $250 million initiative announced in 2016 to advance research that improves quality of life for people around the globe. The Purdue Life Sciences Initiative (https://www.purdue.edu/research/life-sciences/) is supported by research cores, state-of-the-art facilities designed for cross-disciplinary collaboration, and interdisciplinary graduate programs. On the following pages, we have highlighted various Centers and Institutes at Purdue to share our work and invite engagement to collaborate: |

Molecular Evolution, Protein Engineering and Production Facility (MEPEP) |
MEPEP is focused on bringing multiple research areas together and filling the gaps that exist in individual research groups by providing knowhow and top of the line infrastructure/equipment to address recombinant protein expression, purification, optimization and characterization |
Raluca Ostafe, rostafe@purdue.edu |
|
Focused on basic discovery as the foundation for innovative cancer solutions. One of seven centers designated by the U.S. National Cancer Institute, it brings together more than 100 Purdue researchers and collaborators around the world to share ideas, insights and findings. Research strengths encompass cell identity and signaling, chemical and structural biology, drug delivery and molecular sensing, and medicinal chemistry to further leverage Purdue’s talents in engineering, veterinary medicine, nutrition science, analytical chemistry, medicinal chemistry, pharmacy, structural biology and biological sciences. |
Doug Cuttell, dcuttell@purdue.edu | |
| Purdue Institute for Drug Discovery (PIDD) |
Combines clinical and basic research to advance innovative drug candidates for cancer, neurological disorders, trauma, immunology, inflammation, infectious diseases, and other diseases. PIDD supports this research with infrastructural capabilities in nano-scale analysis, live cell visualization, and whole animal advanced imaging. |
Karson Putt, puttk@purdue.edu |
| Purdue Institute for Integrative Neuroscience (PIIN) |
Addressing the greatest challenges in mental illness and neurological disorders while revolutionizing diagnostic and treatment capabilities. Biomedical discoveries and creative technologies combine to alleviate suffering associated with trauma, disease, and disorders of the nervous system. |
Chris Rochet, jrochet@purdue.edu |
| Purdue Institute of Inflammation, Immunology, and Infectious Disease (PI4D) |
Committed to improve the quality of life for people around the globe. Leveraging Purdue’s capabilities in structural biology, analytical chemistry and engineering, PI4D brings together experts from across campus to conduct fundamental research on complex diseases, with a focus on new diagnostic methods and treatments. |
Tommy Sors, tsors@purdue.edu |
| Regenstrief Center for Healthcare Engineering (RCHE) |
Conducts research to improve the quality, accessibility and affordability of healthcare delivery. Harnessing the power of data and employing the latest in systems engineering, RCHE researchers and implementation team enable science-based approaches to personalized care, match health resources with community needs, and address health inequities in rural communities around the world. |
Allison Bryan Jungels, abryan@purdue.edu |
| Women’s Global Health Institute (WGHI) |
The Women's Global Health Institute (WGHI) at Purdue University serves as a nexus of interdisciplinary research to create partnerships, promote research and develop training opportunities to improve the health of women globally. The Institute uniquely strives to promote research on the prevention and early detection of diseases, rather than the classic medical model focusing on treatment, and research to understand sex-differences in health across the lifespan. |
