Pursuing the Initiating Events of Lupus,
Psoriasis, and Rheumatoid Arthritis: The
Interaction Between the LL-37 Peptide and
DNA
Maria Craig, PhD
Assistant Professor of Chemistry
Mary Baldwin College
Staunton, Va.
Immune responses to self-DNA have been
investigated for decades as contributing
factors to the onset of certain autoimmune
diseases. Recent studies suggest a role for
LL-37, an anti-microbial peptide of innate immunity, in the initiation
of self-DNA immune responses. The LL-37 peptide can bind to DNA,
forming complexes that enter cellular compartments and upregulate
immune processes. In an effort to better understand the biochemistry of
the interaction between LL-37 and DNA, we have used electrophoretic
mobility shift assays (EMSA) and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) to
investigate the formation
of these complexes.
Friday, September 20, 2013
4 p.m., SC104
Dr. Craig’s research project is shaped by a unique combination of graduate
training in the biophysics of protein DNA interactions and postdoctoral
experience in innate immunity. Dr. Craig obtained a BS in Chemistry
from James Madison University, Harrisonburg, Va, a PhD in Biochemistry
from the University of Wisconsin Madison and performed postdoctoral
research at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Va as an Arthritis
Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow. She is currently an Assistant Professor
of Chemistry at Mary Baldwin College, Stanton, Va where she teaches
biochemistry and organic chemistry and maintains an active research
program fully run by undergraduate students.
Paleoindians in Virginia: The Spatial and
Temporal Quandary
Mike Barber, PhD
Va State Archaeologist
Department of Historic Resources
Richmond, Va.
The question of the first arrival of
humankind in the New World has
always been an interesting one. From
Thomas Jefferson and other early colonial
thinkers came speculation as to the
Indian progenitors as Egyptians, Phoenicians, Greeks, Lost Continent of
Atlantisians, and Chinese. Through the 1980s, archaeologists had isolated
the timeframe of first occupation to 12,500 years ago, the place of origin
Siberia, and the travelway, the Bering Strait land bridge. Recent studies
have moved the original occupation back in time, inundated the Bering
Strait land break, and suggested places of origin as Asia, Iberia, Africa, and
leaving only the lost continent of Atlantis untapped. This presentation will
examine current “origin” paradigms.
Monday, September 30, 2013
4 p.m., SC104
Dr. Barber is currently Virginia State Archaeologist with the Department
of Historic Resources. He holds three degrees in anthropology, the most
recent a PhD from University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Va. Having
worked in Virginia archaeology for more than 40 years, he is conversant
in the archaeology of the entire Commonwealth during all periods. His
specialties are zoo archaeology (study of animal bones from archaeological
sites) and lithic analysis (study of stone tools). Widely published, Dr.
Barber is working on a formal catalogue of prehistoric bone tools. Most
recent projects include the emergency excavation of several 19 th century
burials on Tangier Island, a study of prehistoric ossuaries on the Eastern
Shore, and the study of bone tools from a Middle Woodland site (AD 200-
900) in Prince George’s County, Va.

Putting Health Back in Healthcare
John Wenger, DO
Family Practice
RMH Integrative Medicine
Harrisonburg, Va.
Our current healthcare system is sick. The
leading chronic diseases of the US are
primarily diseases of lifestyle. How can we
restore better health to our ailing system
and experience wellness in our personal lives in a more complete way? We
are at a “tipping point” where new approaches to education and healthcare
are desperately needed. Dr. Wenger takes us on a journey that addresses
these issues head-on as he shares his perspectives as an integrative medicine
physician. Integrative medicine provides necessary tools for those pursuing
a career in healthcare and for everyone who desires to optimize their
health.
Saturday, October 12, 2013

Medical Benefits of Music
Virginia Bethune, BA
Harpist, Certified Music Practitioner
(CMP)
Harrisonburg, Va.
In addition to its benefits in performance,
entertainment, and worship, music is
increasingly being valued in Western
cultures for its contribution to the world of
medicine. Therapeutic musicians play harp, flute, dulcimer, drums, cello,
lyre, etc. or sing at the bedside, the resulting vibration and resonance can
alleviate pain and insomnia, cause heart rate to become regular, stabilize
vital signs, as well as other health benefits. Music Practitioners are not
outcome-based as are music therapists. The primary intention is to provide
a place where healing may occur even when cure is not possible.
Monday, October 28, 2013
4 p.m., SC104
Ms. Bethune received a BA in Philosophy from Agnes Scott College.
She has been a life-long musician, serving as organist for 14 years at the
Blacksburg United Methodist Church, during which time she began
playing the harp at age 60. Since that time, she has recorded seven CDs,
most of which are entitled Healing Harp Melodies. With her husband
and other Blacksburg, Va musicians they have sold over 11,000 copies
with $100,000 in gross sales. Two Habitat homes in Blacksburg and
Elkton have been the beneficiaries of these funds. As a Certified Music
Practitioner (NOT a music therapist) through the Music for Healing and
Transition Program she offered therapeutic harp music at the bedside and
spent five years as a Musician-in-Residence at University of Virginia Health
System 2007-2012. She is hoping to help inaugurate a similar program at
Rockingham Memorial Hospital and Augusta Health.

Ultrasound and the Dynamics of Tiny Shelled
Bubbles
Daniel King, PhD
Assistant Professor of Physics
Eastern Mennonite University
Harrisonburg, Va.
Ultrasound contrast agents are very tiny
gas bubbles which are useful for helping to
improve medical diagnosis with ultrasound.
Additionally, there is much interest in
developing these micron-sized particles to target diseased tissue as well
as utilizing the mechanical motion these bubbles exhibit to enhance
biological treatments. But, not all bubbles are created equal! Since material
properties affect bubble dynamics, different shell compositions have
significant effects on thresholds for when the bubble oscillates or collapses
– despite having a thickness on the order of nanometers. Experimental
results inform both theoretical models and potential bioeffects, which
range from more efficient drug delivery to stimulation of angiogenesis.
Monday, November 4, 2013
4 p.m., SC104
Dr. King is Assistant Professor of Physics at Eastern Mennonite University,
Harrisonburg, Va. After graduating with a BA in physics from Goshen
College, Indiana, he received an MS and PhD in Theoretical and Applied
Mechanics from the University of Illinois. In addition to bubbles, his
broader research interests include acoustics and fluid mechanics. In his
spare time he enjoys playing Ultimate and writing quirky little pop songs.
Into the Andes: The Cloud Monkeys of Peru
Anneke DeLuycker, PhD
Assistant Professor
of Conservation Studies
Smithsonian-Mason School
of Conservation
Front Royal, Va.
More than half of the world’s primate
species are threatened with extinction, due
to pressures including habitat destruction,
hunting, and illegal wildlife trade. They are also one of the best flagship
species to represent the perils facing tropical forests, where over 90% of
primates live. Primatologist, Dr. DeLuycker will give an overview of some
traits and trends of our closest living relatives and the threats facing them.
She will also discuss her field studies in the Andean foothills of northern
Peru, to search for the enigmatic yellow-tailed woolly monkey and conduct
the first long-term study on the Andean titi monkey.

Metallization of polymeric surfaces is an
important process in a wide variety of industries ranging from microelectronics,
biomedical, automotive, aerospace and food packaging technologies. Many
electronics devices are being fabricated on polymeric substrates and require
deposited metal in the form of device interconnects and sensors. Au and Pt
metals are particularly important due to the fact that they are chemically
inert, but this same property renders them difficult to deposit onto polymer
surfaces due to poor film adhesion. We will report on strategies to significantly
improve the adhesion of Au and Pt films onto acrylic polymers by a chemical
treatment of the surface using halogenated solvents, and the characterization
and modeling of those surfaces to understand the mechanism for the improved
adhesion.

Medications and the Aging Brain
Patricia Slattum, PharmD, PhD
Director, Geriatric
Pharmacotherapy Program
Professor of Pharmacotherapy
and Outcomes Science
Virginia Commonwealth University
Richmond, Va.
Older adults frequently demonstrate an
exaggerated response to medications that
act on the brain. This is in part due to an underlying age-related decline
in central nervous system function and in part due to age-related changes
in how the body metabolizes, eliminates and responds to medications.
This presentation will review research findings from our group aimed at
understanding the intersection between aging and drug response in the
brain and the clinical implications for patients. Pathways leading to careers
in clinical and translational research in the pharmaceutical sciences will be
discussed.
Friday, January 31, 2014

The Blueberry Years
James Minick, MA
Faculty Associate, English Department
Radford University
Radford, Va.
The Blueberry Years captures the story of
Minick’s experience creating and operating
one of the mid-Atlantic’s first certifiedorganic,
pick-your-own blueberry farms.
For a decade, the author and his wife planted, pruned, and picked while
also opening the field to hundreds of people who came to harvest berries.
These pickers shared blueberry-flavored moonshine and sober religion,
warm hugs and bushels of stories. To give a larger context, the author
includes brief interludes on all things blueberry as well as on national
issues such as organic foods. Ultimately, this book tells the story of a young
couple pursuing their blueberry dream.
Monday, February 10, 2014
4 p.m., SC104

“Forty Years Post EMU: Reflections on an
Unexpected Career”
Bernard Bowman, MA
Vice President of Strategic Planning and
Development,
The Asbury Group
Maryville, Tenn.
All good leadership and management
training programs cover the basics; things
like organizational behavior, finance,
marketing, legal and ethical issues, change theory, etc. The presentation
will not revisit this knowledge base. Instead it will offer one practitioner’s
reflections on elements of learning, life, and experience that cast core
values for a leadership journey in the biomedical arena. Participants will
be encouraged to begin assembling their own eclectic, post academic,
faculties.
Friday, February 21, 2014
4 p.m., SC104
After graduating from EMU with a degree in history, Mr.
Bowman then completed an AA degree in Long-Term Care Administration
at Des Moines Area Community College to meet requirements for
licensure in Iowa as a Long-Term Care Administrator. Subsequently, he
received a Master’s Degree in Hospital and Health Care Administration
from the University of Minnesota. He held the position of Administrator
at Pleasantview Home in Kalona, Iowa; then President/CEO of the Meth-
Wick Retirement Community in Cedar Rapids, and finally as President/
CEO of Asbury, Inc., a retirement community organization based in
Maryville, Tenn. While no longer having any operational accountability, he
continues part-time as VP of Strategic Development for the organization.
While sitting in a pew at Weaver’s Mennonite Church listening to Daniel
Suter preach, he would never have imagined that one day he’d be making a
presentation named to honor Dr. Suter’s service to EMU!
Forensic Application of Optical Correction
Randall Collins, OD
Assistant Professor
University of the Incarnate Word
Rosenberg School of Optometry
San Antonio, Tex.
For decades optical correction has been
used in forensic science when eyeglasses
have been found as evidence in forensic
investigations. However, even though
an eyeglass prescription is a complicated set of numbers, their value as
forensic evidence was limited to a “match vs. no-match” judgment. Legal
precedence now requires quantifiable, scientific statements if such evidence
it to be used in a court of law. Research into the biostatistics of a spectacle
prescription led to the creation of a web-based calculator that allows
forensic investigators to determine the strength of the match when those
spectacles are part of an investigation.
Monday, March 17, 2014
4 p.m., SC104
Dr. Collins is a native of Southern Oregon and a graduate of the
Interamerican University School of Optometry. He retired from the US
Air Force after 23 years of service and joined the faculty of the Rosenberg
School of Optometry in 2010 as the lead instructor of the contact lens
courses and Chief of the Contact Lens Services. Highlights from his career

Publicly Funded Health Care for All: Is it
Sustainable?
Maurice McGregor, MD
Professor Emeritus
McGill University
Montreal, Canada
Some 40 years ago, Canada initiated
universal Medicare, which assures that
hospital and physicians’ services are
determined solely by need. This became
hugely popular and a source of national pride. However, since the early
1990s Medicare has started to function less well and Canadians are
becoming more critical. Some believe the causes of malfunction are
systemic and incurable while others that the causes can be diagnosed and
treated. Which are correct? The answer is of vital concern to the future of
all “free” health services.
Monday, March 24, 2014
4 p.m., SC106
Dr. McGregor trained in medicine at the University of the Witwatersrand
in Johannesburg, South Africa and after service in WW2 studied
cardiology in London, England. He joined the Royal Victoria Hospital
and McGill University in Montreal in 1957, where he has served as Head
of Cardiology, Head of Medicine, Dean, and Vice-Principal. From 1988
to 1994, he was Founding President of the Council for the Evaluation
of Health Technologies of Québec. He is currently a Consultant of the
Technology Assessment Unit of the McGill University Health Centre
and Professor Emeritus at McGill University. He has published over
180 articles, chiefly in the fields of cardiovascular disease, cardiovascular

The Quick Lane From Ideas to Products – Fast
Prototyping
Esther Tian, PhD
Assistant Professor
Eastern Mennonite University
Harrisonburg, Va.
In engineering, fast prototyping is not a
new concept. However, new technologies
utilizing three-dimensional printers and
open-source microcontrollers like Arduino
have made prototyping an ever more powerful approach in research as
well as in education. One can transfer his/her design into a device in a
matter of hours or a day through 3D printing. Meanwhile, the control of
the device can be easily achieved via an Arduino platform. In this talk, I
would like to share a few examples of the implementation of these tools.
We design and build photovoltaic cell phone chargers and LED message
wands in our Engineering class employing the technologies mentioned
above. A similar approach has also been used in my robotic leech research
project. Fast prototyping has drastically shortened the development time
and effectively transformed our creativity into innovation.
Friday, April 4, 2014
4 p.m., SC104
Dr. Tian received her PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University
of Virginia, where she did an interdisciplinary research on leech swimming
and published in the Journal of Comparative Physiology and The Journal of
Experimental Biology. She taught statistics and calculus in Miller School
and read AP exams for the ETS and the College Board. She joined the
Eastern Mennonite University as an assistant professor in 2013, where she
teaches engineering and mathematical courses and does her research in
the field of Mechanical Engineering. Her hobbies are hiking and reading.
When hiking she enjoys striking new routes, although there is one trail she
is especially fond of. It happens to be called Old Trail.

TIMELINE
The existing science center has served EMU well since
1968. Lack of adequate lab space and an outdated facility
are impeding the growth of EMU’s science programs. The
renovated Suter Science Center will enable EMU to keep
pace with technology, research and growing trends in
the field. Upgrades to the north and south entrances will
create a welcoming environment and reception area, and
a concourse between the two entrances will create open
spaces for collaborative work and cross-disciplinary activity.
All renovations will be completed to third party specifications
ensuring environmentally friendly building efforts. EMU is in
the final phase of fundraising for the project.
If the goal is achieved by early 2014, renovations will begin in
2014. Renovations are anticipated to be completed by 2016.
STEM Poster Show
5:30 – 6:30 p.m.
Participants submit poster abstracts to Lynn Quay (sc4400@emu.edu) by
