Professor Juexin Wang, Ph.D., secured a highly prestigious National Institutes of Health (NIH) R01 grant worth $1,379,663 for biomedical research. An NIH R01 is the gold standard of research grants and signifies that top scientific peers have reviewed the proposal and determined that Wang's research is highly innovative and vital to human health. Dr. Wang teaches and conducts research at Luddy in Indianapolis in the Biomedical Engineering and Informatics department.

Biomedical innovator with 20+ years of experience engineering biological systems to improve human health with a proven track record of securing competitive funding, building cross-institutional consortia, and advancing regulatory standards will lead Luddy's Biomedical Engineering and Informatics (BMEI) department.

Luddy's new Biomedical Engineering Degree – offered at the Bloomington and Indianapolis campuses – sets up "engineering without boundaries" to leverage IU's strengths in medical education and research.
