On July 1, 2025, Fischell Department of Bioengineering<\/a> <\/strong>faculty member and Fischell Institute Fellow at the Robert E. Fischell Institute for Biomedical Devices<\/strong><\/a>, Giuliano Scarcelli<\/strong>, was promoted to the rank of Professor. Scarcelli was also recently appointed as Co-Director of the Edward & Jennifer St. John Center for Translational Engineering and Medicine <\/strong>(CTEM<\/strong><\/a>)<\/a> <\/strong>and named an inaugural recipient of the Edward and Jennifer St. John Professorship in Bioengineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGiuliano\u2019s promotion and his appointment to these prestigious leadership roles are a testament to his outstanding expertise and vision,\u201d says Distinguished University Professor and Department Chair John P. Fisher<\/strong>. \u201cWe\u2019re excited to work with him as CTEM continues to grow and build impactful connections between engineering and clinical practice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Edward and Jennifer St. John Professorship recognizes faculty whose research exemplifies the mission at CTEM. Established to promote visionary leadership at the intersection of engineering and clinical practice, the professorship provides strategic support to advance high-impact scholarship, foster cross-disciplinary collaboration, and accelerate the translation of research into real-world applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Fischell Institute has been one of College Park\u2019s best success stories in merging engineering innovation with biomedical application,\u201d Scarcelli says. \u201cThat success helped inspire my vision for the center.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scarcelli will lead CTEM alongside Dr. Osamah J. Saeedi, Professor of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. CTEM was established through a landmark $10 million gift from Edward and Jennifer St. John and the Edward St. John Foundation<\/strong><\/a>. The center brings together researchers from the College Park and Baltimore campuses to develop engineering-based solutions for urgent clinical needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
