In 1976, the United States celebrated its’ 200th birthday, and USC’s department of biomedical engineering was born.
Nearly 50 years later, that department has a name: the Alfred E. Mann Department of Biomedical Engineering.
The $35 million naming gift, made possible by the Alfred E. Mann Foundation for Biomedical Engineering, is among the largest gifts to a department of biomedical engineering in the nation.
The new initiative will expand medical engineering research, attract top faculty members and strengthen ties with the Keck School of Medicine of USC. Another $25 million will go towards interdisciplinary endowed chairs across multiple schools to support life-improving and life-saving research, innovation and student learning.
