Frank C. P. and Grace C. Yin Distinguished Lecture
In 1997, Frank C. P. Yin, MD, PhD established the Department of Biomedical Engineering. During his more than 15 years as department chair, Yin developed one of the most renowned and fastest-growing programs in the country. The department has established the Frank C. P. Yin and Grace C. Yin Distinguished Lectureship in Biomedical Engineering to celebrate the contributions of Yin and his wife, Grace, to the community. Held every BME Day, this lectureship is designed to highlight the contributions of truly accomplished researchers in biomedical engineering and biomedical sciences.
