Lindsay Clegg, a PhD candidate in the lab of ICM core faculty member Feilim Mac Gabhann, has been awarded a prestigious 2017 Siebel Scholarship. Lindsay received her B.S. in biomedical engineering from Purdue University in 2011. Currently, her PhD thesis focuses on building cutting-edge, molecularly-detailed, multi-scale computational models of growth factor signaling in blood vessels. Lindsay uses these models to inform the design and translation of promising therapeutic strategies for regenerative medicine and tissue engineering applications.

Lindsay has authored seven peer-reviewed publications, presented at eight conferences, and is the recipient of both the National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) and National Science Foundation (NSF) fellowships. Beyond her research, Lindsay is also passionate about STEM education. She designed and taught a one-credit freshman course based on her research, has developed the curriculum for a 400-level biomedical engineering course, and has served as a mentor to a local high school’s robotics team for four years. Lindsay has shown leadership by serving as co-president of the JHU BME PhD Council and organized the 350-attendee 2012 Hopkins Imaging Conference.

The Siebel Scholars Program was established in 2000 by the Siebel Foundation to recognize the most talented students at the world’s leading graduate schools of business, computer science, and bioengineering. Each year, close to 100 top-ranked students are selected based on their outstanding academic performance, leadership and research. Lindsay joins a collaborative community of over 1,100 Siebel Scholars, all working together to find solutions to society’s most pressing problems.

Congratulations on this recognition of your achievements, Lindsay!
