Miller-Jensen Elected to AIMBE College of Fellows

The American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) has announced the induction of biomedical engineering faculty member Kathryn Miller-Jensen to its College of Fellows.

Election to the AIMBE College of Fellows is among the highest professional distinctions accorded to a medical and biological engineer. The College of Fellows is comprised of the top two percent of medical and biological engineers. College membership honors those who have made outstanding contributions to "engineering and medicine research, practice, or education” and to "the pioneering of new and developing fields of technology, making major advancements in traditional fields of medical and biological engineering or developing/implementing innovative approaches to bioengineering education."

Miller-Jensen was nominated, reviewed, and elected by peers and members of the College of Fellows “for outstanding contributions to the field of systems immunology, including fundamental research contributions, building a professional community, and promoting diversity.” She was formally inducted at a ceremony held during the AIMBE Annual Event in Arlington, Virginia.

Miller-Jensen’s research uses a systems immunology approach by combining quantitative experiments with integrated computational analyses to account for the multiple molecular and cellular processes, non-linear outputs, and complex intercellular interactions that ultimately enable robust immune regulation. Her work specifically focuses on the sources and consequences of cellular response diversity.

AIMBE Fellows are among the most distinguished medical and biological engineers including 3 Nobel Prize laureates, 17 Fellows having received the Presidential Medal of Science and/or Technology and Innovation, and 205 also inducted to the National Academy of Engineering, 105 inducted to the National Academy of Medicine and 43 inducted to the National Academy of Sciences.

AIMBE is the authoritative voice and advocate for the value of medical and biological engineering to society. AIMBE’s mission is to recognize excellence, advance public understanding, and accelerate medical and biological innovation. No other organization can bring together academic, industry, government, and scientific societies to form a highly influential community advancing medical and biological engineering. AIMBE’s mission drives advocacy initiatives into action on Capitol Hill and beyond.
