Researchers from @LifeAtPurdue are advancing molecular diagnostics with three new instruments designed to improve testing accuracy, accessibility and affordability.
The ThermiQuant™ instruments — created by @PurdueABE's @vermalab — are designed for a different setting and scale of use, with samples maintained at a constant temperature.
This technology has the capability to support applications in human and animal health, as well as food safety and environmental monitoring, in all settings.

. @caitlin_h2o, assistant professor of @PurdueABE and @purdue_see, has received a $650,000 grant from @USDA's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative to study ways to improve hydroponic growing systems.
Working with a multidisciplinary team – Roland Wilhelm of @PurdueAgronomy, Celina Gomez of @PurdueHortLA and Soledad Benitez Ponce of @CFAES_OSU – the project will help growers better understand the microbiomes within their systems, enabling more proactive decisions and strengthening the resilience of food systems.

Can fish waste become renewable biofuels? 🐟♻️
Ji-Qin Ni, professor of @PurdueABE and his @LifeAtPurdue colleagues are studying the complex variables of anaerobic digestion — a natural microbial process that converts aquaculture sludge into renewable biofuel.
Their recent studies explore how common Midwest materials — corn residue and dairy manure — can create the optimal mixing ratio for anaerobic codigestion of aquaculture sludge, supporting bioenergy production and supplying nutrients for aquaculture and aquaponics operations.

Researchers at @LifeAtPurdue are helping advance the future of sustainable fuels with soybeans!
Led by @AbeMosier, @INSoybean Soybean Utilization Endowed Chair and head of @PurdueABE, alongside senior bioprocess engineering research scientist Junli Liu and graduate students Elena Robles Molina, the team developed a soybean-based biokerosene that can be blended into cold-weather biodiesel and sustainable aviation fuel, reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
This innovation, funded by ISA, could also expand markets for locally grown soybeans, as the biokerosene is produced domestically using existing production technology.

From traveling historical sights to visiting the Guiness Brewing Factory, I had a wonderful time in Ireland. I had the opportunity to learn about the different ag practices & got to tour several farms in Ireland. It was truly an incredible experience! -Lane Banks, ASM '26
