Welcome to the Biotransport and Biopreservation Laboratory!
The Biotransport and Biopreservation Laboratory is an integral part of Clemson’s Department of
Bioengineering, located within the Bioengineering Building of the Clemson-Medical University of
South Caroline (MUSC) Bioengineering Program in Charleston, South Carolina. Our team
employs a multi-disciplinary approach, combining theoretical modeling, in vitro cell and tissue
studies, and in vivo animal models to investigate biotransport, heat transfer, and biological effects,
and their relationship to tissue structure, compositions, and biomechanical properties.
Our research is focused on developing viable biobanking strategies for diverse living biological
materials. Though our work, we aim to establish preservation techniques that maintain the
integrity and functionality of biological samples, promoting their potential use in various fields,
including clinic transplantation, regenerative medicine, drug discovery, and personalized
medicine.
Required Qualifications:
• B.S. or M.S. in biomedical engineering (mechanical, biomedical, electrical…)

• High level of self-motivation
• Strong critical and analytical thinking skills
Preferred Qualifications:
• Experience in biological experiments, including cell/tissue culture, confocal microscopy imaging
• Experience with in vitro biomechanical testing
• Experience in FE software (e.g. COMSOL)
• Peer reviewed conference or journal publications
• Strong technical writing, presentation and communication skills
