The Purdue University School of Health Sciences prepares graduates to succeed as tomorrow's health leaders, professionals, and researchers.
A new review from Dr. Thivanka Muthumalage explores current methods of respiratory tract cell culture and exposure to #vaping. Accurate in vitro methods would allow for accelerated toxicity studies. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #toxicology #purdueTox #purduehhs

A team of scientists including Dr. Jonathan Shannahan published a consumer guidance document on #vaping. Read the full report for a list of common misconceptions and their full analysis. shopulstandards.com/ProductDetail.… @Chem_Insights #Toxicology #PurdueTox

It was great catching up with some Medical Physics #Boilermakers at #AAPM2025 today! #medphys #purdue #purdueuniversity #purduehhs #medphys

The Cannon Lab of Experimental and Translational Neurotoxicity focuses on the dietary and environmental factors that can drive toxicity consistent with the development of Parkinson's Disease. Read more about their latest study: purdue.edu/hhs/news/2025/… #parkinsonsawareness #purdue

Indoor air quality is very important to the Aerosol Lab led by Dr. Jae Hong Park - for both humans and horses! Chang Geun Lee, an #OEHS PhD student, designed a respirator for asthmatic horses allowing them to still eat and drink freely. 🐴youtube.com/watch?v=nrI7Z8… #boilermaker

Thanks to everyone who stopped by our @PurdueHHS exhibits at the Indiana Health Fair this weekend! #PurdueHHS #PurdueUniversity #health #Indiana #PublicHealth

Congratulations to BMHS student and track star Jalen Elrod for being awarded this year's Golden Petes’ Persistent Pursuit Award. Jalen's event is the heptathlon. Read more about her inspiring story here: 🏃🏿♀️stories.purdue.edu/the-inspiring-… @PurdueTrackXC @PurdueSports #purdue #boilermaker

Congratulations to Dr. Aaron Specht for being awarded a grant from @CGDev to determine the feasibility of using portable X-ray fluorescence technology to measure cumulative lead exposure in Mexico. #healthphysics #environmentalhealth

☢️Are you going to #HPS2025? Check out the latest research from #Purdue!☢️ @hps_org #healthphysics #radiationprotection


The Purdue University Research Experience in Toxicology (PURE Tox) program within @PurdueHSCI is an opportunity for undergraduate students to perform toxicology research over the summer. This is Grace, a junior learning to quantify lead in elderly human skulls using portable XRF.

Congratulations to Dr. Jason Harris for being elected to an International Commission on Radiological Protection (@ICRP) Committee. He will provide advice on the application of recommendations for the protection of people and the environment for exposure situations. #healthphysics

Chang Guen Lee, a @PurdueHSCI PhD candidate, & Jae Hong Park, associate professor of health sciences, teamed up w/Laurent Couëtil, @pucvm professor of large animal internal medicine, to assist asthmatic #horses by designing a respirator that the animals could wear. Learn more.📺
A new study from the Scarpelli Lab investigating the possibility of using ferumoxytol to enhance radiation-induced abscopal effect in secondary tumors found improved primary tumor control, but no effect on secondary tumors. aapm.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/mp… #medphys #PurdueHHS #Purdue
