  Clemson University is working to quicken the commercialization of biomedical technologies through its participation in a regional technology transfer accelerator hub recently funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences. In partnership with XLerate Health LLC, the health care technology accelerator has been awarded $500,000 for the first year of a potential three-year […]

I chose to study bioengineering because I really appreciated the hands-on aspect of this field. From conducting lab work, tinkering with electrical components, and working on my problem-solving capabilities, bioengineering challenges me everyday, which I love! I worked under Dr. Nagatomi and as an undergrad, I studied the effect of a 3D environment and ECM […]

In August, 2017, Dr. Sarah Harcum was chosen to lead a Clemson team in an effort to better engineer Chinese hamster cell lines to produce vaccines and drugs for diseases such as cancer. Harcum’s team is part of a multiuniversity award to Johns Hopkins and three other universities that along with industrial partners, form a […]

The 4th annual Southeast Regional Biomaterials Day, hosted by Clemson University, the Georgia Institute of Technology, and Vanderbilt University, took place November 8-9, 2018, in Clemson, SC. According to Meredith Owen, PhD student and president of Clemson Bioengineering Society (CBS), “The mission of Biomaterials Day is to foster and promote the development of biomaterials research […]

Chad McMahan, the department’s histologist and safety officer, was recognized by Clemson’s Board of Trustees with the Will to Lead award. Mr. McMahan was nominated for the award by his peers across colleges. Central to his being so recognized was Chad’s earlier national-level Helping Hand award from the National Society for Histotechnology and Newcomer Supply. […]

The Clemson Bioengineering Society (CBS) is Clemson’s graduate chapter for the Society For Biomaterials (SFB) and the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES). A student-run organization, CBS provides professional development, community service and outreach, mentorship, and social experiences to members. CBS strives to give members opportunities to complement their personal strengths and research abilities to form more […]

In the 1960s, Dr. C. William Hall of Clemson University had a vision: He imagined an exclusive group of scientists would come together to communicate research findings and developments in the field of biomaterials science. Through the work of numerous people, especially many of those who gathered annually for the meeting of the International Biomaterials […]

David Mcleod, a junior in bioelectrical engineering at Clemson, is member of Alpha Eta Mu Beta (AEMB), the National Biomedical Engineering Honor Society. Hearing through AEMB about an opportunity to coach fourth and fifth graders at Clemson Elementary, David jumped at the chance. “I just enjoy anything to do with robotics,” he said. Last fall, […]

Milan P. Yager, Executive Director of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering, visited the department in early March and met several times with our students. Two, Meredith Owen, a graduate student in Dr. John DesJardins’s lab, and Cody Dunton, a graduate student in Dr. Jiro Nagatomi’s lab, commented on their impressions of Mr. […]

Undergraduates in the Global Health Design Creative Inquiry met with Clemson alumnus Matt Cupelli at North American Rescue (NAR) in Greer, SC. The students, who have created a portable patient monitor, discussed manufacturing strategies with Mr. Cupelli. He then led them on a tour of the NAR facilities. According to Ian DeMass, a student of […]
