AIMBE

AIMBE has launched our new Citizen Advocate for Science Letter: takeaction.io/aimbe/science-… We ask the scientific community to share this letter (✍️ <1 min) with friends, family, and other concerned citizens to urge their elected officials to protect biomedical research funding ☝️

Universities are not passive beneficiaries of government largesse. It is the federal government that depends on universities to conduct the research that keeps our nation healthy, safe and economically competitive.I discuss in the Washington Post. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/…

We traveled to DC to talk to Congressional Staffers about the impact of @NIH @NIBIBgov funding. It enables us to develop synthetic biology tools to advance cell & genetic medicines for patients in need. REPOST to deliver the message that SCIENCE saves lives & makes America great!

Prof. Ravi Kumar of the University of Alabama (here in red) received yesterday an honorary doctorate from Krishna University. Ravi is already a member of the European Academy of Scinces and @AcadofInventors, also Fellow of @aimbe & @AAPSComms. Warmest Congratulations

Congratulations to Wei Wang, PhD, professor of pharmacology and toxicology @UAZPharmacy, on being inducted into the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering College of Fellows class of 2025. More: bit.ly/3GqTgto @aimbe

The @aimbe is the authoritative voice and advocate for the value of medical and biological engineering to society. For their annual meeting, they invited Dr. Cato T. Laurencin as their designated honored guest. today.uconn.edu/2025/07/profes…

Three generations of @aimbe Presidents, I love working with this team! Past-President Joyce Wong (current Prez of @SFBiomaterials) President Lola Eniola-Adefeso President-Elect meeeeeeeeee

Excited to represent @aimbe today at @NIH @NIBIBgov as we host 50 congressional staffers to learn about the latest Discoveries in Health Technology!

Breaking: NIH will only accept six new, renewal, resubmission, or revision applications from an individual Principal Investigator/Program Director or Multiple Principal Investigator for all council rounds in a calendar year.

🚨 New NIH Public Access Policy goes into effect TODAY! Research accepted for publication on July 1, 2025, must be publicly available as soon as it is published. This date was moved up from December 31, 2025, to ensure radical transparency regarding the research NIH supports.…

Researchers funded by the NIH will be required to make their scientific papers available to read for free as soon as they are published go.nature.com/3Gh7Rr8

Mark your calendars for AIMBE's Annual Event on April 11-13, 2026! Registration opening soon.

A US judge has ordered hundreds of terminated research projects at the US National Institutes of Health to be reinstated, calling the processes that led to their cancellation “bereft of reasoning”. go.nature.com/4nhQ5Vx

The United States is at substantial risk of loosing their leadership position in biomedical research, which will have severe negative consequences both for human health and the US economy. If you share this concern, please see below for how to take action before it is too late.

I hope many will share this with your communities. If you or someone you know has received treatment that has improved or saved your life it is time to stand up for science and scientific discovery. @AmSocBiomech @BlackBiomechs @IntWomenBiomech @BMESociety @AcsmBig
