On February 15，the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) announced its new members of the AIMBE College of Fellows in recognition of their distinguished and continuing achievements in medical and biological engineering, which include two professors from Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Prof. LI Lanjuan and Professor ZHENG Shusen.

Election to the AIMBE College of Fellows is among the highest professional distinctions accorded to a medical and biological engineer. The College of Fellows is comprised of the top two percent of medical and biological engineers. College membership honors those who have made outstanding contributions to “engineering and medicine research, practice, or education” and to “the pioneering of 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.”
