The week of October 12 - 16, 2015, was designated as Emory Medicine Recognitions Week. Faculty throughout Emory University’s School of Medicine, which includes biomedical engineering (BME) faculty from Georgia Tech and Emory, were recognized and highlighted throughout the week.  Emory’s School of Medicine Celebration of Faculty Excellence award ceremony was held on October 14.

The Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech and Emory had several faculty recognized during the week and at the award event in these categories:

The Emory 1% Award

  Hanjoong Jo

  Professor of biomedical engineering, associate chair for Emory/Georgia Tech BME

  The Emory 1% Award recognizes faculty principal investigators from any School who received study section scores (NIH grant application scoring system) in the top 1 percentile on a grant proposal.

The MilliPub Club Award

  May Wang

  Associate professor, biomedical engineering for Emory/Georgia Tech BME,

  Georgia Research Alliance Distinguished Cancer Scholar

  Qian Ximei

  Assistant professor, biomedical engineering, Emory School of Medicine

  Shuming Nie

  The Wallace H. Coulter Distinguished Faculty Chair in Biomedical Engineering

  The MilliPub Club honors and recognizes current Emory faculty who have published one or more individual papers throughout their careers that have each garnered more than 1000 citations. Such a paper is commonly considered a “citation classic” and represents high impact scholarship.  The MilliPub Club is sponsored by the School of Medicine, but membership is open to any qualifying Emory faculty member.

Hidden Gems Award

  Michael Davis

  Associate professor, biomedical engineering for Emory/Georgia Tech BME

  Gari Clifford

  Associate professor, biomedical engineering for Emory/Georgia Tech BME

  Hidden Gem award recipients were nominated by their departments in recognition of their outstanding, but often unnoticed or unrecognized, contributions to Emory and beyond.
