    2000 ASME Y.C. Fung Young Investigator Award

    Bioengineering Division of the
    American Society of Mechanical Engineers

    The Bioengineering Division of ASME is soliciting nominations for the 2000
    ASME
    Y.C. Fung Young Investigator Award. The Bioengineering Division
    established the
    Y.C. Fung Young Investigator Award as a divisional award in 1985 and an ASME
    societal award in 2000 to encourage young investigators to pursue research in
    Bioengineering by acknowledging recipients early in their career for the
    quality of their research and their commitment to the field of
    Bioengineering.
    The award is named in honor of Yuan Cheng Bertram Fung, Ph.D., Professor of
    Bioengineering at the University of California, San Diego. Professor Fung is
    considered by many to be the father of modern bioengineering. Professor Fung
    is a long-standing member of ASME, and a past recipient of the ASME H.R.
    Lissner Award for his outstanding achievements in the field of Bioengineering.

    Eligibility: Only candidates whose names have been submitted in nomination
    will
    be considered for the award. Candidates must have earned a Ph.D. or equivalent
    degree in any field of engineering, physics, medicine or life sciences.
