Karen Burg is the Hunter Endowed Chair of Bioengineering and director of the
Institute for Biological Interfaces of Engineering at Clemson University. She
investigates development of 3D tissue-engineered devices for repairing damaged
organs as well as for constructing in vitro tissue test systems (e.g., to test phar-
maceuticals or to provide personalized medical treatments). These unique devices
comprise cells and a carefully designed, 3D degradable biomaterial. As they
develop, in vivo or in vitro, the cells form a 3D tissue as the material degrades.
