Linda Broadbelt, Ph.D.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—The American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) has announced the induction of Linda Broadbelt, Ph.D., Sarah Rebecca Roland Professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering and Associate Dean for Research, McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science, Chemical and Biological Engineering, Northwestern University, 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.”

Dr. Broadbelt was nominated, reviewed, and elected by peers and members of the College of Fellows for “distinguished contributions to complex network modeling, particularly for computational approaches for the discovery of novel pathways and new molecules.”
