David Beebe, the John D. MacArthur Professor and Claude Bernard Professor of biomedical engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, is among the National Academy of Inventors’ 2023 class of fellows.
His research into microfluidic technologies and microenvironments has led to the development of multiple research tools, streamlined point-of-care and lab-based diagnostics, and lowered cost testing for diseases. He is influential in organ-on-a-chip technologies that mimic the functions of organs on a microchip and allow the testing of drugs in a small-scale environment with a goal of improving clinical treatment decisions. His lab research currently includes cancer biology, multi-kingdom interactions, infectious disease and continued small-scale physics and technology development.
