Julius Guccione, Jr., PhD Inducted into American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) College of Fellows

Julius Guccione, Jr., Ph.D., Professor of Surgery and Co-Director of the UCSF Cardiac Biomechanics Lab, was inducted into the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) College of Fellows at its annual meeting in Washington, DC, on March 25, 2019. Guccione was one of four UCSF faculty members inducted this year. Comprised of just the top two percent of engineers in the field, election to the AIMBE College of Fellows is among the highest professional distinctions accorded to medical and biological engineers.

Guccione's research focuses on the development of devices for treating heart failure using 3D modeling and simulation. As a bioengineer, he has played a critical role in collaborating with clinicians to bring novel surgical procedures to patients, such as the 3D Living Heart Project. He also serves as a research mentor for the department’s NIH-funded Biodevice Innovation training program for research residents, and as a faculty adviser for UCSF Surgical Innovations.

Guccione was nominated, reviewed, and elected by peers and members of the College of Fellows for his outstanding contributions to the development, validation, and dissemination of a unified foundation for cardiovascular in silico medicine.
