In an effort to foster the promotion of pre-tenured faculty and inter-UC campus activities between biomedical engineering (BME) departments and programs across the UC system, the BIC organizes the annual Shu Chien Early Career Lecturer Award to be given to a junior UC BME faculty who demonstrates outstanding scholarly achievement.
The 2024 Shu Chien Early Career Lecturer Award sessions are scheduled for the afternoon of the first day and the morning of the second day of the 24th annual UC Systemwide BIC Symposium, taking place on June 24 and 25, 2024.
Finalists from UC campuses will present a 15-minute talk on their scholarly work. Audience votes will determine the top prize winner, who will be awarded a $1000 prize.

Shu Chien, M.D., Ph.D.
Professor EmeritusShu Chien-Gene Lay Department of BioengineeringUC San DiegoShu Chien, M.D., Ph.D. (born December 24, 1931) is a renowned Taiwanese-American bioengineer and physiologist. He is celebrated for his groundbreaking research in the fields of bioengineering and cardiovascular physiology. Dr. Chien earned his bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from National Taiwan University in 1952 and later pursued his graduate studies in mechanical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he earned his master's and doctoral degrees.
Throughout his illustrious career, Dr. Chien has held various prestigious positions in academia, including serving as the chair of the Department of Bioengineering and the director of the Whitaker Institute of Biomedical Engineering at UC San Diego. He has also been affiliated with other esteemed institutions such as Columbia University and the University of Chicago.
Dr. Chien's research has significantly advanced our understanding of how blood flow and mechanical forces influence cardiovascular health. His work has led to groundbreaking discoveries in areas such as the biomechanics of blood vessels, the effects of fluid dynamics on cells, and the development of innovative diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for cardiovascular diseases.
In recognition of his outstanding contributions to the field of bioengineering and physiology, Dr. Chien has received numerous awards and honors, including the National Medal of Science, the Fritz J. and Dolores H. Russ Prize, and the Wallace H. Coulter Award for Lifetime Achievement in Hematology. He is a member of several prestigious scientific societies, including the National Academy of Engineering, the National Academy of Sciences, and the Institute of Medicine.
Dr. Chien's pioneering research continues to inspire and shape the future of biomedical engineering, making him a revered figure in the scientific community worldwide.
