Roger Kamm

Professor
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, United States

Roger Kamm is the Cecil and Ida Green Distinguished Professor of Biological and Mechanical Engineering and Director of the NSF Science and Technology Center for Emergent Behaviors of Integrated Cellular Systems. A primary objective of Kamm’s research group has been the application of fundamental concepts in fluid and solid mechanics to better understand essential biological and physiological phenomena. Spanning a wide range, research in the Kamm lab has addressed issues in the respiratory, ocular and cardiovascular systems. More recently, his attention has focused on two areas, the molecular mechanisms of cellular force sensation, and the development of new microfluidic technologies for vascularized engineered tissues and cancer. Kamm is the 2010 recipient of the Lissner Award from the ASME and a member of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies. He is the former chair of the US National Committee on Biomechanics and of the World Council on Biomechanics.
