Culture human cells on aortic roots, investigate the long-term wear of replacement hip joints, and create implants combining biological and synthetic materials. These impressive technological advances represent just a fraction of the outstanding research conducted in Clemson's bioengineering laboratories. In your coursework and laboratory sessions, you'll develop comprehensive knowledge of biology, biochemistry, and physiology, graduating with the ability to use advanced mathematics to address growing challenges that require engineering to intersect with biology. Daily, you'll collaborate directly with professors on research exploring how engineers—working alongside physicians—can assist the human body in preventing and resolving medical issues. Should you select the biomaterials specialization, you'll examine the creation of medical devices using either durable or biodegradable materials to substitute damaged tissues. Examples encompass artificial joints and cultivating new body components using patient-derived cells.
