For two juniors in MSU’s Biomedical Laboratory Diagnostics Program—Racheal Nassimbwa and Shamya Harris—undergraduate research brought an opportunity to travel and present research projects to fellow undergraduates from around the country.

Across Michigan, the United States, and the globe, medical laboratory scientists – many trained by the Michigan State University Biomedical Laboratory Diagnostics Program (BLD) – are working around the clock to test for and inform the public about the unfolding COVID-19 pandemic.

Michelle Russell and Mariane Wolfe from MSU Biomedical Laboratory Diagnostics Program join the American Society for Clinical Laboratory Science (ASCLS) - Michigan board of directors.

This year, we’re excited to announce that Leah Schebil (MLS) and Nakole Asia Turner (BLS) were selected to receive the BLD Alumni Board Outstanding Senior Award. Katelyn Rose Hadlich (MLS) and Mitch Daniel Engel (BLS) were selected to receive the Stevens Award. We congratulate these students on their awards and commend all 2020 BLD graduates for all they have achieved.

BLD Spartan and Maine native, Dr. Rachel Morris, steps up to train scientists on the frontline. Dr. Morris is part of the BLD faculty, dedicated to train medical laboratory scientists and advance the profession. 

In times where we wish we could come together and celebrate the accomplishments of our seniors, sending them off to the next phase of their lives, Michigan State University Biomedical Laboratory Diagnostics faculty and staff share a warm congratulations and best wishes to our graduating seniors.

This year, we’re excited to announce that Madi Corda and Bethany Ribick were selected to receive the BLD Alumni Board Outstanding Senior Award and Chibuzo Nwachukwu and Macy Marie Kurth were selected to receive the Stevens Award in Medical Technology. We congratulate these students on their awards and commend all 2020 BLD graduates for all they have achieved.

Two scientists walk into a coffee shop and before long more than just the coffee is brewing.  Read more about the Speaking Science Podcast here!

You never know where your clinical training will take you or where you will take your clinical training.

The BLD participates in Teal Tuesdays.
