About the author

Dr. Joyce Y. Wong is a Clare Boothe Luce associate professor in biomedical engineering (BME) and associate chair of graduate studies in the department of biomedical engineering at Boston University. Dr.Wong's research focuses on the development of biomaterials to probe how structure, material properties and composition of the cell-biomaterial interface affect fundamental cellular processes. Her current research interests include tissue engineering of small diameter blood vessels for bypass and intravascular pharmacology (e.g. stents); development of targeted nano- and micro-particle contrast agents for multimodal (magnetic resonance, ultrasound, and optical) detection of atherosclerotic and vulnerable plaque; and engineering biomimetic systems to study restenosis and breast cancer. Awards she has received include a NSF Career Award and Dupont Young Professor Award. Dr. Wong is currently the associate director of the Center for Nanoscience and Nanobiotechnology at Boston University. She has served on NIH Study Section panels, and is on the editorial advisory board of the journal Polymer Reviews and co-editor of Biointerphases. She is also an active member of the American Chemical Society, Biomedical Engineering Society, Materials Research Society, AVS Science and Technology (executive committee member, Biomaterials Interfaces Division), Biophysical Society, Society for Biomaterials, and American Society of Cell Biology. Joseph D. Bronzino received the B.S.E.E. degree from Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester, MA, in 1959, the M.S.E.E. degree from the Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, CA, in 1961, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in 1968. He is presently the Vernon Roosa Professor of Applied Science, an endowed chair at Trinity College, Hartford, CT and President of the Biomedical Engineering Alliance and Consortium (BEACON), which is a nonprofit organization consisting of academic and medical institutions as
