The Fischell Department of Bioengineering, A. James Clark School of Engineering, University of Maryland

The Fischell Department of Bioengineering welcomed two new faculty in 2020.

Three BIOE faculty members received National Institutes of Health (NIH) Research Project Grants (R01) in 2018. The awards, which collectively total $5.3 million, will support research in the areas of immunology, optics, and biotherapeutics.

As freshmen, bioengineering, chemical and biomolecular engineering, and computer science students worked together to launch a start-up company aimed at developing new techniques to diagnose Alzheimer's disease.
