Spotlight On: Amanda Sudduth, Biomedical Engineer Intern!

Amanda Sudduth (MC '09) has always been involved as a research assistant for biomedical engineering here at the University of Missouri, and this summer she has a chance to shine in Washington, D.C.! The internship is with the National Institutes of Health's Biomedical Engineering Summer Internship Program. There are 16 interns from all across the country selected for the program, so Amanda had a competitive pool of qualified students she was up against for the internship. It is a 10-week long program, and her project for the summer has to do with rehabilitation engineering-specifically rehabilitation robotics and its use in helping analyze the effect of strokes and brain injuries on an individual's walking pattern. With all of her previous research experience, Amanda is definitely more than qualified for the position, and we couldn't be more proud! Congratulations on this incredible opportunity in the biomedical engineering field, Amanda!
