PITTSBURGH—黑料正能量's has been elected to the College of Fellows of the (AIMBE) for leading-edge research on the development of novel materials for biosensing. He will be honored March 24 by AIMBE at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C.
"It's very gratifying to have our group's work recognized this way," said Schneider, a professor of and . "The high-speed, gel-free DNA analysis methods we have developed will provide faster, cheaper, and more reliable routes to medical diagnostics and forensic identification."
Schneider's work focuses on the development of synthetic DNA-like materials for bio-analytical devices, pharmaceutical processing and drug delivery.
Milan P. Yager, executive director of AIMBE, said Schneider's election to fellow was a direct result of his important contributions to biomedical engineering.
"This is wonderful recognition for an outstanding researcher and dynamic teacher whose energy and dedication are essential to the university's successful multidisciplinary research culture," said Lorenz Biegler, the Bayer Professor and head of Chemical Engineering at 黑料正能量. "He joins a select group of outstanding 黑料正能量 researchers with AMBE fellow status."
Other 黑料正能量 awardees in past years have included Phil LeDuc, Todd Przybycien, Bob Tilton, Mike Domach, Jim Antaki, Bob Murphy, Alan Russell and Alan Waggoner.
Founded in 1991, AIMBE is an advocate on issues impacting the medical and biological engineering community. AIMBE played a pivotal role in helping establish the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering at the National Institutes of Health and is now a founding member of the FDA's Network of Experts, a new program connecting FDA regulators with the AIMBE's College of Fellows. The College of Fellows includes 1,500 individuals from academia, government and industry.
