Professor

Department of Biomedical Engineering

Educational Background:

  • S., M.S., Chemical Engineering, Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA
  • D., Medicine, Georgetown University, Washington, DC
  • D., Chemical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA
  • Fellowship, Spine Surgery & Biomechanics, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA

Areas of Teaching Interest:

  • Clinical Orthopedics
  • Tissue Engineering
  • Spine Surgery
  • Polymer Chemistry

Areas of Research Interest:

  • Synthesis and characterization of degradable polymers
  • Translational musculoskeletal research
  • Metastatic spine tumors
  • Bone tissue engineering
  • Nerve and spinal cord regeneration

Description of Research:

Dr. Michael J. Yaszemski is the Krehbiel Family Endowed Professor of Orthopedic Surgery and Biomedical Engineering at the Mayo Clinic and director of its Polymeric Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering Laboratory. He is a retired U.S. Air Force Brigadier General and served in the office of the Air Force Surgeon General and the office of the President of the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences prior to retiring in 2013. He is a member of The National Academy of Medicine and The National Academy of Inventors.  His clinical practice encompasses spine surgery and musculoskeletal oncology.

His research interests are in the synthesis and characterization of novel degradable polymers for use in bone regeneration, cartilage regeneration, nervous tissue regeneration, and controlled delivery of chemotherapeutic agents to musculoskeletal tumors. In specific, on-going projects focus on developing novel minimally invasive methods for the prediction of fracture risk in metastatic spine tumors, nerve guidance conduit development, novel biomaterials for musculoskeletal use, and bone tissue engineering.
