Past CBC awardee, Patric Kiser, NU, elected to the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering’s College of Fellows
Congratulations to Patric Kiser, NU, who recently was elected to the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering’s (AIMBE) College of Fellows! Kiser is one of the three faculty members of the NU McCormick School of Engineering to be elected in 2018. He also has ties to CBC — in 2015, together with a postdoc in his lab, Arangassery Rosemary Bastian, he received a CBC Postdoctoral Research Award, for the project: “Utilizing Innovative Biophysical Methods to Study the Mechanism of Mucin-Antibody Binding.”
Three Faculty Members Named Elite Medical and Biological Engineering Fellows

Three faculty members with Northwestern Engineering ties have been elected to the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering’s (AIMBE) College of Fellows.
Wendy Murray, Patrick Kiser, and Robert Murphy are among 156 engineers who make up the College of Fellows Class of 2018. They were inducted on April 9 during AIMBE’s 2018 annual meeting at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C.
AIMBE’s College of Fellows comprises the top two percent of medical and biological engineers in the country. Fellows are recognized for their notable contributions advancing the fields of medical and biological engineering through research, practice, or education.

Among the 3 elected NU faculty is Patrick Kiser, who, together with a postdoc in his lab, Arangassery Rosemary Bastian, received a CBC Postdoctoral Research Award (2015), for the project: “Utilizing Innovative Biophysical Methods to Study the Mechanism of Mucin-Antibody Binding.”
Patrick Kiser is a professor of biomedical engineering and obstetrics and gynecology in the Feinberg School of Medicine. His research seeks to create new drug delivery technologies for the prevention and treatment of HIV infection.
Among his contributions, Kiser has created a long-acting antiviral delivery system that provides sustained systemic drug levels of antiretrovirals for up to one year, which could protect HIV negative individuals at high risk of infection for long periods of time without daily intervention. He also developed a first-of-its-kind intravaginal ring that reliably delivers an antiretroviral drug and a contraceptive for months at a time.
CBC joins in congratulations!
