About the Faculty
Jeffrey L. Duerk
received his Ph.D. in
Biomedical Engineering
from CWRU in 1987, following BS and MS degrees in Electrical Engineering from Purdue and Ohio State University. From 1986-1988 he was a member of the Clinical Science group of Picker International's NMR Division. Thereafter, he joined the faculty at Case and University Hospitals of Cleveland's Departments of Radiology and Biomedical Engineering where today he is the
Director of the Case Center for Imaging Research
and Chairman of Biomedical Engineering. He is also co-leader of the
Cancer Imaging program in the Cancer Center
. Dr. Duerk has published over 150 peer-reviewed Manuscripts; has 12 patents, 15 pending, and over 30 invention disclosures at Case Tech Transfer.
Stuart J. Rowan
is Professor of
Macromolecular Science and Engineering
at CWRU and also holds secondary appointments in Biomedical Engineering and Chemistry. He received his B.Sc. (Hons.) in Chemistry from the University of Glasgow, UK in 1991 where he stayed to receive his Ph.D. in 1995 under the guidance of Dr. David MacNicol. He is an NSF CAREER awardee and received the CWRU School of Engineering Research Award in 2008. His current research interests include different aspects of supramolecular polymers specifically exploring their uses in the fields of stimuli-responsive materials, re-healable materials and biomaterials.
Biomedical Engineering Celebrates 40 years of "Engineering Better Health"
Biomedical engineering was first introduced in the early 1960s at
the Case Institute of Technology with several interdisciplinary
research centers, such as bioengineering in the Systems Research Center
and medical engineering in the Engineering Design Center. When the Case
Institute of Technology and Western Reserve University united to form
Case Western Reserve University, the Department of Biomedical
Engineering was born in 1968 as a joint endeavor between this new
institution’s schools of engineering and medicine.
Today, the Department of Biomedical Engineering
at Case Western Reserve is
herald as one of the best in the nation in education and cutting-edge
research, thanks to its dedicated faculty, exceptional students and
outstanding alumni.
