Message from the

President of AIMBE Medtronic, Inc., this year at the Annual Event.

Significant effort has also been invested this year in the retooling of Dear AIMBE Fellows, Guests, and Friends, our staff and operations including the recruitment of a new Executive Director who has provided the leadership to streamline our operations In today’s busy world with constant demands for and initiate steps to maximizing our resources. Many changes are in our attention and focus, too often we neglect the the works including better communications, faster registration, and time to stand still and reassess our positions in especially, new promotion of our Fellows. order to provide the focus for our organizations to achieve new growth and vitality in order to innovate forward. For I greatly look forward to our Sunday night Banquet featuring a very AIMBE, 2012 was the exception. The result has been a retooling of our special announcement involving a renewed partnership with the operations, a rebuilding of our infrastructure, and a renewed focus Wallace H. Coulter Foundation on the occasion of the 100th anniversary towards the greater mission of AIMBE. of Dr. Coulter’s birth. This celebration will be remembered as a milestone in AIMBE’s history for future classes of Fellows. Fundamental to that mission is the pursuit of greater collaboration across our multidisciplinary Fellows. AIMBE brings together the great All of these initiatives have been planned with the goal of innovating minds of the medical and biological engineering community. This forward the mission of our organization—never before has there been year we have one of the most impressive classes of new Fellows who such a great need for the contribution of our College of Fellows in were elected through a streamlined peer-election process. For their changing and advancing the speed of technology from the lab to our induction, I am delighted we have returned to the National Academy of lives. Sciences after their three years of extensive renovation. It has been a pleasure to serve you this last year as AIMBE’s President. While induction into the College of Fellows is a great honor for any I welcome you all and encourage your continued involvement in our individual, it is only through our collective body that we achieve our mission. responsibility to give back to society. Through the Network of Experts agreement with the FDA, the varied disciplines of our Fellows have been called upon to help smooth the regulatory process. Fundamental to our advocacy mission, we held our Federal Symposium on Capitol Hill in July as well as assembled an ad-hoc committee to present a white paper detailing our proposals for improvements of the SBIR program to Dr. Francis Collins at the NIH. And, it is with great pleasure that we are Raphael C. Lee, M.D., Sc.D., FACS presenting our first AIMBE Award for Excellence in STEM Education to President, AIMBE

Message from the

College of Fellows Chair AIMBE provides crucial services to our country in numerous ways, and this conference is a reflection of this service mission. A dedicated Dear Fellows and Friends, steering committee generously donated their time and talent to organize the conference, and our speakers and session chairs are It is my pleasure to welcome all attendees, and lending us their expertise and insight. Thanks are due to both groups particularly the new inductees, to the American for their hard work. The purpose of this meeting is to inform and Institute for Medical and Biological Engineer’s inspire the leaders of our field, and so we greatly appreciate each of 22nd Annual Event, entitled, Innovating Forward— you attending and being an active participant. I look forward to your Medical and Biological Engineering to Improve engagement both during the conference, and in the years to come, as Society. together we enable AIMBE’s work in advocacy and education.

Our field has exploded in size and scope over the last twenty years, and Thank you all, and again, welcome. the challenges faced by our society have also changed dramatically during this time. The interdisciplinary nature of bioengineering, with Sincerely, its roots in multiple disciplines, is dramatically impacting the manner in which our universities, industries, and broader society identify and tackle new challenges and opportunities. This event will examine this impact from a variety of perspectives, and explore the ever-evolving boundaries of our field. David Mooney, Ph.D. We will explore biomedical engineering’s critical impact on the 2013 College of Fellows Chair American social and industrial fabric, and we will aim to define what decision makers can do in the next year to help increase the value of biomedical engineering innovation. Our increasing understanding of the organization and function of living systems is inspiring new approaches in design and manufacturing and we will highlight how biologically inspired engineering is leading to new products, and job-creating industries. Finally, the borders of bioengineering are expanding to address important challenges, including the treatment of chronic diseases involving the immune system and the development of low- cost medical technologies for developed and developing countries. This year’s Annual Event will highlight these efforts.
