Mission Statement
Mission Statement
The National Biomedical Engineering Honor Society at Stony Brook recognizes students of excellence who major in Biomedical Engineering. SBU AEMB's obligation is to cultivate members closer into union and to promote an understanding of the profession. We plan to become an organization where students can find resources to further their careers and be exposed to the various specializations that define biomedical engineering.

Faculty Advisor
Faculty Advisor
Dr. Chan has been the SBU AEMB faculty advisor since our chapter's inauguration in 2015. She is passionate about both biomedical research and education. She is currently the Co-director of the Undergraduate Program in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, fostering student professional development via experiential learning opportunities, and the DEI Committee Chair promoting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Her research focuses on understanding the role of mechanotransduction in disease development and treatment of various medical conditions, such as osteoporosis, obesity, and cancer. Mechanotransduction is the study of how cells sense and respond to mechanical stimuli, like those generated during exercise.
Dr. Chan is very active in promoting the quality and diversity of engineering education by developing open educational resources, online courses, technical-skill workshops (undergrad), community outreach programs (Pre-K through 12th Grade), and instructional technology.
