_ PURDUE _, , verermary medical VOLUME 9, NUMBER 2 SUMMER- FALL 1983 A Message from the President Steven C. Beering, M.D., Ninth President of Purdue University Although I am still new to Purdue, I feel like the School of Veterinary Medicine and I are old friends. We first teamed up in 1970 when I took responsibility for Indiana's Statewide Medical Education System. The Lafayette link in that much- emulated program would not have been possible without the Purdue veterinary medical school's spirited participation. Dean Jack Stockton, his faculty and students-true to the school's tradition of excellent education and service-have supplied that spirit from the beginning. As Indiana's sole provider of veterinary medical education and one of only 27 such schools in the country, the Purdue veterinary medical school has a proud past and an exciting present. But it has awesome responsibilities for the future. In an era when costs are rising faster than the levels of public support, it will take greater efforts by all of us iust to main tain the excellence of the school's teaching and the quality of its graduates-and that will not be enough. To better meet the needs of the state and the nation, we have to look to new challenges. For the veterinary medical school, one of these challenges is to make our research function as excellent and as deeply respected as our educational programs. This will require long-term growth in people, facilities and funding, and it will take hard work, creativity and a willingness to serve by all of us. The School of Veterinary Medicine, however, will not be alone in this endeavor. My vision of Purdue's future is one of a uniform excellence achieved and sustained through common effort. Every individual, every program, every school at Purdue has certain limitations, but together we can break those limits. Our university, as great as its past has been, can have an even greater future. All of us-students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends-are part of the theme we have adopted: Touching Tomorrow Today. The theme is symbolized by the space shuttle, Challenger, which carried Purdue student experiments into space. Figuratively, we are all aboard that spaceship, not just as passengers, but as the workers of tomorrow's wonders. Steven C Beering President Born in Berlin, Germany, in 1932, Steven Claus Beering emigrated to the U.S. following World War II and graduated from Taylor Allerdice High School in Pittsburgh, Pa. Following earned B.S. and M.D. degrees from the University of Pittsburgh, he completed an internship at the Walter Reed General Hospital and a residency program in internal medicine at the Wil- ford Hall USAF Medical Center, San Antonio, Texas, where he remained on staff until joining the Indiana University School of Medicine as assistant dean and professor of medicine in 1969. He was appointed dean of that school in 1974. He holds numerous appointments on boards, on committees, and in societies, and has published in his medical specialty area. He came to Purdue officially on 1 July 1983, as the University's 9th president. The School of Veterinary Medicine has known him well since 1970 when he directed the Indiana Statewide Medical Education System in which this School has been a participant from its inception. In Vitro Animal Disease Modeling Research Benefits Food Producing and Companion Animals Purdue University's School of Veterinary Medicine is involved in research aimed at reducing the cost and number of animals needed to perform disease research. Our laboratory is conducting in vitro disease modeling to benefit food producing and companion animals. The in vitro disease modeling studies are primarily concerned with cell/organ growth and how they are affected by various disease processes. Fundamental understanding of various interactions, using target cells, will assist in treating and preventing disease processes in the total animal. Cooperative studies are being done with Drs. Bottoms, Fessler, and Turek to study the inhibitory effect of bacterial endotoxin on equine and bovine endothelial cells. They have demonstrated In vivo that damage to the endothelial cells lining the major blood vessels is extensive and may be responsible for irreversible changes that occur during endotoxic shock. Understanding this fundamental disease mechanism should aid in the development of preventive and therapeutic measures to control endotoxic shock in horses and cattle and assist in studying this disease in man. Musculoskeletal diseases account for significant financial losses to the food producing industries. Drs. Van Sickle and Kincaid have studied arthritic associated diseases of dogs and pigs in vivo. In collaboration with these investigators, porcine articular chondrocytes are being evaluated in vitro. Cell cultures have demonstrated two types of chondrocytes with different growth rates. The growth rate differences and the interactions of these cells in the growing pig are being studied to assist in understanding lameness. Controlling cellular growth and metabolic processes are primary objectives of the in vitro disease modeling laboratory.
