Yi-Xian Qin, a distinguished professor at Stony Brook University, is set to receive the 2025 Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) Christopher Jacobs Award for Excellence in Leadership. This annual award, initiated in 2019, commemorates Christopher R. Jacobs and honors those who exhibit exceptional leadership within the Cell and Molecular Bioengineering community.
Dr. Qin's work has notably advanced understanding of bone tissue response to different environments and regenerative responses to stimuli. He has authored over 180 peer-reviewed articles and holds several U.S. patents related to ultrasound diagnostic imaging and therapeutic applications for musculoskeletal diseases.
“It’s a great honor to receive this prestigious award, which allows us to enhance bioengineering and bone tissue regeneration research in mechanotransduction and translation in the Stony Brook community,” says Dr. Qin.
He will be honored with the award at the BMES CMBE Conference in Carlsbad, California, from January 3-6, 2025.
