Dong Xu receives national honor
A Bond Life Sciences Center researcher has been inducted into an elite organization comprised of two percent of all medical and biological engineers.
The American Institution for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) this week announced the induction of Dong Xu, a Bond LSC principal investigator and Shumaker Endowed Professor in the University of Missouri’s College of Engineering.
“Election to the AIMBE College of Fellows is among the highest
professional distinctions accorded to a medical and biological engineer,” said Kamrul
Islam, chair of the college’s Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
department.
Xu was
selected for his “distinguished contributions to bioinformatics and
computational biology, and extensive services to University of Missouri and his
research community.”
In addition to his endowed faculty position, Xu serves as director of the Information Technology program, whose core facility is housed in Bond LSC.
Membership
to AIMBE’s College of Fellows recognizes those who have made outstanding
contributions to engineering and medicine research, practice or education, and
to those pioneering new and developing fields.
Because of health concerns, AIMBE’s annual meeting and induction ceremony scheduled for this spring was canceled. Under special procedures, the induction was held remotely.
