2014 National Science Foundation Graduate Research FellowshipsScott Cole, a senior, and Jonathan Matheny, a 2013 graduate now studying at Cornell University for his PhD, are 2014 awardees. Seniors Jessica Lau and Devleena Kole were awarded honorable mention. The NSF GRFP is the country's oldest fellowship program directly supporting graduate students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields. Fellows receive an annual stipend, opportunities for international research and professional development, and have the freedom to conduct their own research at any accredited U.S. institution of graduate research they choose. Focus on Creative Inquiry Poster ForumIn celebration of undergraduate research, students in the following Creative Inquiry courses presented at the forum. Instructors names follow the course name: Clemson University Retrieval of Explants Program and Registry in Orthopaedics, Drs. John DesJardins and Melinda Harman; Roper Mountain Bioengineering Innovation Lab, Dr. John DesJardins; Designing Medical Technology for the Developing World, Dr. John DesJardins; Freshmen/Senior Design and Mentoring Experiences in Bioengineering, Dr. John DesJardins.

National Institute of General Medical SciencesDr. Naren Vyavahares team was recognized for developing nanoparticles that attach only to damaged fibers to deliver drugs to damaged blood vessels.

BMES Coulter College A design team including undergraduates Elliot Mappus, Tyler Ovington, Alex Devon, and Natalie Patzin and graduate students Xin Xie and Breanne Przestrzelski was chosen to present their at BMES Coulter College in New Orleans, LA. The college is a training program focused on translation of biomedical innovations. Student design teams are guided by faculty and clinical experts through a highly dynamic process designed to help them better understand how innovations can meet clinical needs while providing tools and approaches used to evolve identified problems into novel solutions. The team is taught by Dr. Delphine Dean and co-instructor Dr. John DesJardins and advised by Dr. Thomas Pace, orthopaedic surgeon at Greenville Health System.

Nanoparticles Deliver Drugs for a Variety of Diseases Dr. Naren Vyavahares lab develops nanoparticles to target damaged sites related to a variety of diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Marfan syndrome, and elastic fiber-related disorders.

University Innovation Fellow Breanne Przestrzelski, a student in Dr. John DesJardins's lab, was named a Fellow by the National Center for Engineering Pathways to Innovation (Epicenter), which is funded by the National Science Foundation as a partnership between Stanford University and the National Collegiate Inventors and Innovators Alliance.
