Dr. Elizabeth Cosgriff-Hernandez, associate professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Texas A&M University, has been elected a Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE).
The College of Fellows is composed of 1,500 individuals who are recognized as outstanding bioengineers in academia, industry and government and have distinguished themselves through their contributions in research, industrial practice and/or education. Fundamental to their achievements is the common goal of embracing innovation to improve the health care and safety of society.
Cosgriff-Hernandez was elected for her outstanding contributions to biomaterial and tissue engineering research in the areas of biodegradation characterization, biomaterial development and scaffold fabrication. Cosgriff-Hernandez joined the Biomedical Engineering department in 2007.
Only the top 2 percent of medical and biological engineering leaders are chosen as fellows of the AIMBE.
AIMBE is the authoritative voice and advocate for the value of medical and biological engineering to society. It is an organization of leaders in medical and biological engineering, consisting of academic, industrial, professional society councils and elected fellows. AIMBE’s mission includes communicating objectively with and responding to U.S. and state government agencies as well as lawmakers.
An induction ceremony will be held on March 20 in Washington, D.C., to welcome her into the College of Fellows.
