POTSDAM, NY – Kathryn Chambers of Westfield, a Clarkson University senior majoring in Chemistry and Biomecular science, presented at the 39th annual Northeast Bioengineering Conference in Syracuse, N.Y., in early April.
A total of nine Clarkson students attended the conference and presented seven posters; Chambers presented a poster on how to fabricate consistently sized chitosan-core nanobiosensors.
The large regional conference was sponsored by the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, and provided an opportunity to the 300-plus attendees for professional development, networking, and exploring the world of biomedical engineering.
The undergraduate student senior design poster competition had 58 entries, while the more graduate-level research poster competition had 78 entries.
The Clarkson students were accompanied by their mentor, Professor Charles Robinson, director of Clarkson’s Center for Rehabilitation Engineering, Science and Technology. Robinson was president of the IEEE EMB Society in 1990 and 1991, and is now an IEEE Life Fellow.
The peer-reviewed, two-page-formatted descriptions of each of the seven posters have been published by the IEEE in the conference’s indexed proceedings.
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in five alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park in Potsdam, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed toward the world’s pressing issues. Through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and health sciences, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo, and connect discovery and engineering innovation with enterprise.
