Guillermo Ameer

Daniel Hale Williams professor

Northwestern University

Dr. Ameer is the Daniel Hale Williams professor of Biomedical Engineering and Surgery at Northwestern University. He is the founding director of the Center for Advanced Regenerative Engineering (CARE), director of the NIH-funded Regenerative Engineering Training Program (RE-Training), and Deputy Editor at Science Advances, a journal published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). He is a member of the National Academy of Medicine, the National Academy of Inventors, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Dr. Ameer’s laboratory pioneered the development and tissue regeneration applications of citrate-based biomaterials, the core technology behind innovative bioresorbable orthopaedic tissue fixation devices CITRELOCK,TM CITREFIX,TM CITRESPLINE,TM CITRELOCK ACL,TM and CITRELOCK DUOTM which were recently cleared by the F.D.A for clinical use. 

His awards include the Key to the City of Panama, the Society for Biomaterials (SFB) Clemson Award for Contributions to the Literature, the SFB Technology Innovation and Development Award, the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine International Society-Americas the Surfaces in Biomaterials Foundation Excellence in Biomaterials Science Award, the Chinese Association for Biomaterials Global Biomaterials Leadership Award, the Bioactive Materials Lifetime Achievement Award, and the Biomedical Engineering Society Athanasiou Medal for Excellence in Translational Bioengineering. He is also a Fellow of the American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE), Fellow of the Biomedical Engineering Society, Fellow of the AIChE, Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and Fellow of the Materials Research Society. In addition to his deputy editor role at Science Advances, Dr. Ameer is an Associate Editor for the Regenerative Engineering and Translational Medicine journal, a member of the board of directors of the Regenerative Engineering Society, and past chair of the AIMBE College of Fellows.

报告题目/Title: 

Regenerative Engineering: A New Hope for Regenerative Medicine

讲座摘要/Abstract: 

Regenerative engineering is the convergence of advances in materials science, physical sciences, stem cell and developmental biology, and translational medicine to develop tools that enable the regeneration and reconstruction of tissue and organ function. I will describe how materials can be engineered to play a critical role in treating tissue and organ defects and dysfunction by promoting cellular processes that are conducive to regeneration. Applications of these materials to address tissue dysfunction due to diabetes and musculoskeletal injuries will be discussed.
