During the final week of the spring semester, the Vet Gazette brings its Global Faculty Series to a close with a feature on Dr. Marxa Figueiredo, associate professor of basic medical sciences. Though she calls Goiânia, Brazil home, Dr. Figueiredo was born in the Midwest. Her parents were students at Michigan State University before they moved to Purdue University when she was just six months old.

Two Purdue Veterinary Medicine faculty members have been interviewed recently by major media outlets seeking perspective on the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Suresh Mittal, Distinguished Professor of Virology in the Department of Comparative Pathobiology (CPB), addressed questions related to virus spillover, a term used to describe viruses making the jump from animals to humans.

Researchers at Purdue University have developed a new technique to dramatically enhance the resolution achievable when imaging intracellular structures with super-resolution fluorescence microscopy. The technique uses the distortions created by a specimen to pinpoint the location of individual molecules, and thereby infer the location of intracellular structures. The technique could be particularly useful in studying neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s.

Male tungara frogs of Central and South America call out to potential mates with reckless abandon. During the rainy season, they wait for pockets of relative silence amid the cacophony of the rainforest and belt out a song that could attract females’ attention or get them eaten by an eavesdropping bat. Even worse, their most seductive calls are also more likely to turn them into someone’s dinner.

tree frogs become easy targets for predators and parasites when they send mating calls, but they're finding a way to fool their enemies with a little help from a wingman.

This image shows a 3D super-resolution reconstruction of dendrites in the primary visual cortex of a brain. It was created, and made possible, by researchers at Purdue University in the US, who have developed an imaging tool that allows visualisation of nanoscale structures inside whole cells and tissues – a breakthrough that could allow for better understanding of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's

Ever since the coronavirus became a threat, many of us are doing a lot more cleaning at home, spraying and wiping pretty much everything in sight, especially high-touch surfaces like door knobs and faucet handles.

Purdue University researchers are working on developing quicker, easier coronavirus tests so people would know as soon as possible whether they are infected and should self-isolate.
