David T. Corr, a professor of biomedical engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, has been elected to The American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) College of Fellows class of 2023. 

The College of Fellows is among the most prestigious distinctions a biomedical engineer can achieve.  AIMBE is a nonprofit organization that represents “the most accomplished individuals in the fields of medical and biological engineering who are pioneering 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.”

Corr’s research aims to understand the impact of various microenvironmental and developmental stimuli on cell behavior, and to exploit these to improve functional tissue engineering and in vitro diagnostics. He and his lab have developed innovative experimental approaches to engineer functional musculoskeletal soft tissue fibers, and to fabricate 3D in vitro tumor models for drug testing and fundamental mechanistic studies.

He is a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), and Chair of Tissue and Cellular Engineering (TCE) Technical Committee of the Summer Biomechanics, Bioengineering, and Biotransport Conference.
