Director, Biomedical Engineering Technology Acceleration (BETA Center)
Associate Director, Scientific Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

The BETA Center is a NIH-wide resource housed by the NIBIB intramural research program and will serve as a new NIH campus model for accelerating technology-driven interdisciplinary research and clinical translation. The BETA Center community will bring researchers together with engineering and imaging expertise including biomedical imaging, biosensing, biomechanics, engineered/synthetic biology, nano/biomaterials, artificial intelligence, modeling, computation, and informatics.

Central to BETA Center’s mission is employing evidence-driven approaches to expand diversity, equity, and inclusion within NIBIB’s Intramural Research Program and serving as a model for recruiting diverse biomedical engineering talent to NIH.

    Fill out a form letting us know who you are and a brief description of your research and the collaboration you are interested in.

    The BETA Center offers resources to help IRP researchers pursue new directions, technologies, and experimental methods.
