Amy Throckmorton Is Elected to the 2025 Class of the AIMBE College of Fellows April 11, 2025 Amy Throckmorton, PhD, professor, School of Biomedical Engineering, Science and Health Systems, was elected to the 2025 Class of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) College of Fellows. Election to the AIMBE College of Fellows is among the highest professional distinctions accorded to medical and biological engineers, comprised of the top two percent of engineers in these fields. 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. Throckmorton was nominated, reviewed, and elected by peers and members of the College of Fellows “for pioneering contributions in pediatric mechanical circulatory support, experimental and computational biofluid mechanics, and patient-specific design-thinking innovation in cardiovascular medicine.” She was inducted into the AIMBE College of Fellows at a formal induction ceremony, held during the AIMBE Annual Event at the Renaissance Arlington Capital View Hotel in Arlington, Virginia on March 31, 2025. While most AIMBE Fellows hail from the United States, the College of Fellows has inducted Fellows representing more than 30 countries. AIMBE Fellows are employed in academia, industry, clinical practice, and government and are among the most distinguished medical and biological engineers, including several Nobel Prize laureates and Presidential Medal of Science and/or Technology and Innovation awardees. Dr. Throckmorton is the fourteenth member of the School of Biomedical Engineering, Science and Health Systems to be elected to the College of Fellows.
