Associate Dean for Research Harm HogenEsch is the Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine’s newest Distinguished Professor. Dr. HogenEsch’s appointment as Distinguished Professor of Immunopathology in the Department of Comparative Pathobiology was ratified by the Purdue University Board of Trustees Friday, October 1, along with three other distinguished professor appointments.

A veterinary immunologist and pathologist, Dr. HogenEsch came to Purdue in 1993 and is recognized as a world-renowned expert in vaccinology and allergic skin disease. In particular, he is highly regarded for his research on the development of vaccines, with special expertise in the use of adjuvants to enhance the immune response.

Dr. HogenEsch’s contributions to science have benefited both animal and human health. He has published 148 research articles and 20 book chapters. Additionally, he has served as advisor for 11 graduate students and 11 postdoctoral fellows while also contributing to the training of more than 70 graduate students, as a member of graduate advisory committees in departments across campus.

An active member in national veterinary organizations, Dr. HogenEsch has served on editorial boards of immunology and pathology journals and as a grant reviewer for the National Institutes of Health and other granting agencies. He also previously served as head of the Department of Comparative Pathobiology for eight years and now is in his 13^th year as associate dean for research and graduate programs.

Congratulations Dr. HogenEsch!

The other new Distinguished Professors ratified by the trustees last week are:

Dr. Pavlos Vlachos, the St. Vincent Health Professor of Healthcare Engineering in the Regenstrief Center for Healthcare Engineering;
Dr. David M. Umulis, the Dane A. Miller Head of Biomedical Engineering; and

‘Purdue Pursuits’: A PVM angle on Purdue’s teaching and learning reading groups

Crafting meaningful and engaging course experiences has been at the top of Dielson Vieira’s mind ever since he joined the Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine’s faculty in 2024. As a clinical assistant professor in the Department of Basic Medical Sciences, Vieira is already adept at applying innovative teaching practices to classroom environments, but that doesn’t stop him from seeking out new ideas, approaches and perspectives — insights he gains through outlets like Purdue’s teaching and learning reading groups.

Top tier biology journal publishes PVM study that unlocks secrets of a drug-resistant fungal pathogen, which causes serious infections in humans

Though the name “Candida auris” is far from a household term, public health experts know it well because the multi-drug-resistant fungal pathogen, which causes serious human infections, has been classified as an urgent threat by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Antibiotic Threats Report (2019). Dr. Shankar Thangamani, Associate Professor of Microbiology and University Faculty Scholar in the Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine’s Department of Comparative Pathobiology, is researching C. auris, aided by a 2.4 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). New research findings, just published in Nature Microbiology, show how C. auris adapts and evades the immune system.
