WASHINGTON, DC — The American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) announced today the selection of 17 inaugural Emerging Leaders in recognition of their distinguished achievements in medical and biological engineering. They will be formally honored during AIMBE’s Annual Event on March 29-31, 2025.

The goal of AIMBE’s Emerging Leaders Program is to increase AIMBE’s engagement with exceptional professionals that are underrepresented in medical and biological engineering (MBE), recognize outstanding rising leaders in MBE, and serve as a pipeline for leaders to AIMBE’s College of Fellows. Emerging leaders will have a unique opportunity to network and engage with AIMBE Fellows at the Annual Event and receive direct mentoring from current AIMBE Fellows. “Through our Emerging Leaders Program, AIMBE is committed to fostering an inclusive pipeline of leaders in medical and biological engineering. This program not only recognizes outstanding talent but also ensures that diverse perspectives are represented within our field. We are excited to welcome this inaugural class of Emerging Leaders and look forward to the impact they will make in advancing biomedical innovation and equity,” says AIMBE President, Dr. Lola Eniola-Adefeso, Dean of Engineering at the University of Illinois Chicago.
