Professor Joyce Wong (BME, MSE), a world leader in the emerging field of living cell/surface interactions, has been elected as one of seven new Fellows of the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES), the leading professional society for biomedical engineers, for outstanding achievements in the field. She was recognized for her work in developing biomaterials to detect and treat cardiovascular disease.

“Professor Wong’s work combines elegant experiments with underlying theory, and the resulting contributions to science and engineering are both significant and wide-ranging,” said Professor Sol Eisenberg, chair of the Biomedical Engineering Department. “Her election as a Fellow of the Biomedical Engineering Society is richly deserved.”

“I am truly honored to be selected as a BMES Fellow,” said Wong. “I am fortunate to have a job where I can work with the best students, postdocs and collaborators on exciting projects at Boston University that can influence the quality of healthcare.”
