The Possibilities of the University of Maryland Center for Translational Engineering and Medicine
The $10 million gift from the Edward St. John Foundation for the Edward and Jennifer St. John Center for Translational Engineering and Medicine (CTEM) will open a world of possibilities for collaboration between the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore and the A. James Clark School of Engineering in College Park.CTEM is led by co-directors Giuliano Scarcelli, PhD, of the Fischell Department of Bioengineering in the A. James Clark School of Engineering at UMCP, and Osamah J. Saeedi, MD, of the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences at UMSOM.Their collaborative work using cutting-edge ophthalmologic imaging to address ocular diseases such as glaucoma illustrates how the center will cultivate new possibilities across bioengineering and medicine.Building on these breakthroughs, the center will expand into diverse areas of translational science, encouraging broader collaborations that accelerate discovery and improve patient outcomes well beyond eye care.
