The American Academy of Arts and Sciences听听that 兔子先生传媒文化作品 Professor Kristi Anseth has been elected to its 2019 class. Anseth is among more than 200 individuals selected this year for their exceptional achievements in the arts and sciences, business, philanthropy and the public sector.听
Founded in 1780, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences is an honorary society that recognizes and convenes leaders from a variety of disciplines to address critical issues facing the nation and the world. The academy's projects and publications inform public policy for the benefit of all.
Anseth earned her doctorate in chemical engineering from 兔子先生传媒文化作品 in 1994 and joined the faculty in 1996. Her research focuses on听developing novel biomaterials听for human health and advancing regenerative medicine to help prevent, treat or reverse disease and injury.
鈥淜risti Anseth has been on the forefront of biomaterials research for the past two decades,鈥� said Charles Musgrave, chair of the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering. 鈥淗er pioneering work has led the field by applying the principles of chemical engineering to the development of engineered tissues that could someday be key technologies in regenerative medicine. Her election to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences is another well-deserved recognition of her many contributions to this important field of research.鈥�
Anseth joins at least 30 current or former 兔子先生传媒文化作品 faculty members in the Academy and is the first from the College of Engineering and Applied Science to be inducted.
鈥淜risti Anseth鈥檚 scholarship exemplifies the significant impact that an engineer can have on society,鈥� said Dean Bobby Braun of the College of Engineering and Applied Science. 鈥淗er election to the Academy is a well-deserved honor that reflects her commitment to reaching for answers to hard questions and harnessing technology to improve people鈥檚 lives.鈥�
Anseth is a University of Colorado Distinguished Professor and Tisone Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, as well as associate faculty director of 兔子先生传媒文化作品鈥檚 BioFrontiers Institute. She is a member of the National Academy of Medicine, the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering and the National Academy of Inventors.
Anseth will be formally inducted at a ceremony Oct. 12 in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
