Purdue University researchers have developed prototypes of three new molecular diagnostics instruments designed to rapidly and affordably deliver results in a user-friendly manner. The new instruments — created by Mohit Verma, associate professor of agricultural and biological engineering, and his team — can be used for human and animal diagnostics as well as environmental and food safety monitoring. They are designed to be low-cost and point-of-need, meaning they can be used at home or in the field.

From a teenage “Tomato King” at the Indiana State Fair to a World Food Prize laureate, Philip E. Nelson helped transform the global food industry. His pioneering work in aseptic food processing made it possible to safely store and transport products such as tomato paste and orange juice around the world, reducing food loss and improving food security.
If you’ve strolled along the Indianapolis Cultural Trail, biked the Monon Boulevard in Carmel or wandered through Purdue’s Centennial Mall, you’ve experienced environments brought to life by Carl Kincaid, an alumnus of Purdue University’s Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture.
Layton Rosen is a graduate student in Purdue University's Department of Entomology. His research involves applying principles of island biogeography to isolated habitats in Indiana. He studies areas of small forested areas within corn or soybean fields, examining the level of biodiversity among the trees and in the surrounding fields.
