So happy for Jo and yet so sad at the same time!
🌟 Today, we bid farewell to Jo Gelfand, who is retiring after an incredible 43 years at Purdue, including 23 years as the foundation of #PurdueBME.
Jo, your dedication, kindness, and unwavering support have shaped our school and touched countless lives. We will miss you deeply, but we’re excited for you to enjoy your well-earned time in the garden! 🌸🌿
Thank you for everything—you’ll always be a part of the BME family. 💛🖤#BoilerUp #Retirement

New pre-print alert from our lab! Led by Meisam Habibi Matin and supported by @ShulanX , we show how mild focal cooling differentially impacts dendritic integration, plasticity, and input-output transformations across the basal-tuft axis of L5. Can cooling be used neuromodulate?

I'm super excited to share some results from the Science PRIMA retinal prosthesis clinical trial, including that it's exceeded its main efficacy endpoint with a mean acuity improvement of 4.6 EDTRS lines. Trial participants are almost completely blind due to macular degeneration. There are no good options available to these patients today.
The Indiana Neuroscience Institute event concluded with the Campbell Lectureship presented by Dr. Andres Lozano and the Breier presented by @HelenMaybergMD. It is phenomenal to see neurosurgery and psychiatry rowing in parallel!
The Indiana Neuroscience Institute event followed patient advocates with outstanding entrepreneurship. Thanks, @JTRobinsonLab and @motifneuro, for an excellent update of your patient-based mission and vision for neuropsychiatry applications.
Listening to patient advocates is one of the most inspiring and engaging activities I get to do. Thank you, Jon Nelson, for your personal story and your public advocacy. You are a treasure. Thanks to the Indiana Neuroscience Institute for hosting an amazing event!
