Many patients with pancreatic cancer have only about a 10% chance of survival within five years of their diagnosis because they tend to become resistant to chemotherapy, past studies have indicated.

Certain varieties of pancreatic cancer exhibit multiple tumor cell subtypes that work, somewhat mysteriously, to quickly become resistant to chemotherapy agents. Researchers at Purdue University have now built a unique microfluidic device that can be used to test a cancer drug on multiple tumor cells subtypes. Using this technology the researchers believe that new drug therapies can be discovered and existing medicines used more effectively.

Soldiers are suffering long after the battlefield; the U.S. military’s suicide rate is at an all-time high, surpassing combat deaths since 2012. Soldiers are two to four times more likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease than civilians, and military families suffer emotional trauma when depression, memory loss and aggression alter the soldier they knew before deployment. A Purdue University researcher says “as a society that collectively enjoys the freedoms ensured by their sacrifices, [we] are facing a moral obligation in a race against time to save these men and women.” A $1.3 million grant from the Department of Defense aims to use the power of scientific weaponry to uncover the link between the battlefield and neurodegeneration.

Each cancer patient's tumors have cells that look and act differently, making it difficult for scientists to determine treatments based on tumors grown from generic cell cultures in the lab.

In October 2020, microscopic robots that could “effortlessly surf right up your butthole” made headlines after engineers at Purdue University announced that they had developed a “microrobot” capable of delivering pharmaceutical drugs to vital organs by gaining entry through the rectum.
