Guy M. Genin

Guy M. Genin applies solid mechanics principles to understand living systems and treat disease. He is the Harold and Kathleen Faught Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis, and co-directs both the NSF Science and Technology Center for Engineering Mechanobiology, and the NIH-funded Center for CardioVascular Research Innovation in Surgery and Engineering. Genin serves on the U.S. Interagency Modeling and Analysis Group's steering committee and the SES Board of Directors, and is Secretary of the ASME Bioengineering Division. A fellow of ASME, AIMBE, IAMBE, and the U.S. National Academy of Inventors, Genin is also chief engineer of Caeli Vascular, Inc. and CTO of Vascora, LLC. His awards include an NIH Research Career Award for his work on the mechanics of fibrosis; the ASME Skalak award for the best ASME JBME paper; and the ASME Savio L.-Y. Woo Medal for his translational impact in mechanobiology. Genin earned a Ph.D. from Harvard and completed postdoctoral training at Cambridge and Brown.
