  What academic goals were you hoping to achieve through your CUBEInC Co-op? What have you actually achieved? When I first heard about CUBEInC, I was intrigued by its unique platform with Greenville Health System and its integration of the different aspects of bioengineering. As a result, I made it my main academic goal to […]

Dr. Vladimir Reukov’s team took Best Printed Poster at Clemson’s annual Focus on Creative Inquiry Poster Forum for Characterization and Application of Quantum Dots for Drug Delivery and Cancer Cell Tracking. Authors are Anastasia Frank-Kamenetskii, Aleena Thomson, Bradley Scammon, Kacie O’Neill, Lanz Pasig, Melanie Hedge, Rashes Abdel-Tawab and Will Ashley. Creative Inquiry is the imaginative combination of engaged learning, crossdisciplinary interactions and undergraduate research […]

When the undergraduate program in bioengineering was established in 2007, the Senior Design Program was a mere twinkle in the eye of Dr. John DesJardins, now Hambright Professor in the College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Science. By fall semester 2011, the program was established in its current form; to date, approximately 500 BIOE seniors […]

Clemson Bioengineering senior design program just went state-wide. Following on years of successful partnerships with upstate healthcare institutions, the program recently expanded its partnership with the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). “We are in our 7th year of partnering with clinicians to identify and design solutions to critical healthcare needs,” said Dr. John DesJardins, […]

One of the hallmarks of the college experience is making new friends, but not everyone gets to do it in Tanzania. Carson Brewer is one of the fortunate few. The bioengineering major went to the East African nation for nearly seven weeks with two other students at the end of her sophomore year, and the […]

BIOE and Honors College senior Joey Wilson has been named a Schwarzman Scholar.

For 80% of the world’s diabetics, the diagnosis means debilitation and premature death. Having attracted private investment, Kayla Gainey co-founded Accessible Diagnostics, which will market award-winning technology developed through Creative Inquiry to the world. For her abstract, “Glucosense: a Low-Cost Glucometer System for Resource-Poor Settings,” Kayla, a student of Dr. Delphine Dean, was recognized at […]

If you have ever torn a rotator cuff, you would probably recognize the value of a surgical tool designed by a team of undergraduate bioengineering students.  A panel including inductees of the National Inventors Hall of Fame chose the team of Ryan Gedney, Charles Laughlin, Nicholas Marais and Taylor Pate as finalists for their creativity and […]

Of the numerous exciting events Spring semester brings, Clemson bioengineers and community members annually look forward to Clemson Bioengineering Senior Design Symposium. The department partners with Greenville Health System Medical School to hold the symposium, at which senior teams present devices they have developed over several semesters. Designs presented at often go on to take national […]
