Diabetes Targeted in New Bioengineering Research at Clemson University
By Paul Alongi Clemson University bioengineers are launching a new research project to better understand cardiovascular disease in patients with diabetes, an affliction that affects about 13 percent of South Carolina adults and cost $4.3 billion last year alone. What the bioengineers learn could help lay the groundwork for future studies aimed at finding new […]
New treatment for spinal cord injuries could help patients walk again
Paul Alongi Lee said patients who have suffered from spinal cord injuries have inspired her research, , particularly their courage and optimism. “I believe the nanotherapeutics we are developing can provide a platform for drug therapies that can mitigate injury damage and lay the groundwork for regeneration, Lee said. “I want to see […]

The thing I enjoy the most about the MEng Program is its structure: Grace White
Initially, I chose the Master of Engineering program as a way to delay graduation by another year. To put it simply, I was not ready for the real world. Before I decided to fully commit, I met with Dr. Jeremy Mercuri, the creator of the program, in the spring of my junior year. He explained […]
Industry-University partnership for better-engineered drugs
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 […]
Deciding Which Kind of Engineer to Be: Austin Hensley Shares his Process
What made you choose the Master’s of Engineering in Biomedical Engineering? One of the most enticing aspects of the MEng program for me was its length: two semesters at 15 credit hours per semester to earn a whole degree is an incredible deal. That in itself made the MEng seem like a great way to […]
$11 Million NIH Grant Creates New Center for Musculoskeletal Research
With an $11 million grant from the National Institutes of Health Center for Biomedical Research Excellence, Clemson University has launched the South Carolina Center for Translational Research Improving Musculoskeletal Health, or SC-TRIMH, a new research center that will bring together scientists from across South Carolina to change the way musculoskeletal disorders are diagnosed, treated and […]
