Dr. Amandine Impergre is a Research Assistant Professor at Clemson University, Bioengineering Department, specializing in the corrosion behavior and biocompatibility of orthopedic implant materials. With a strong background in electrochemistry and materials science, her interdisciplinary research bridges engineering and biomedical sciences to improve implant safety and performance. She is focused on retrieval analysis of biomedical devices, in vitro cytotoxicity, advanced surface characterization techniques such as AFM (combined with SECM) and development of tribocorrosion set-up. Her work addresses critical issues in the degradation of cobalt-based and additively manufactured implants, aiming to inform both clinical practice and regulatory standards. A French national, she brings a global perspective to her collaborative efforts with engineers, biologists, and orthopedic surgeons across institutions.
