Bingmei Fu, Ph.D (she/her/hers)

Herbert G. Kayser Professor
City College of New York
New York, New York, United States

Dr. Bingmei Fu was born in Chengdu, Sichuan, China. She received her B.S., M.S. from the Department of Modern Mechanics of the University of Science and Technology of China in 1985 and 1988, respectively. Then she worked as an assistant professor for one year in Southwest Jiaotong University before she came to the U.S. in 1989. She had been working with Dr. Sheldon Weinbaum (recipient of 2022 National Medal of Science) to develop transport models for the inter-endothelial cleft and obtained a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the City University of New York in 1995. After working with Dr. Roy Curry on in vivo single microvessel permeability for three years as a NIH postdoctoral fellow in the School of Medicine, University of California, Davis, she joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in 1998 as an assistant professor and was promoted to a tenured associate professor in early 2004. She moved to the Department of Biomedical Engineering of the City College of New York (CCNY) as a tenured associate professor in the fall of 2004 and was promoted to a full professor in 2010. In 2020, she became a Herbert G. Kayser Professor of Biomedical Engineering at CCNY. Dr. Fu is the Director of the Microcirculation Lab at BME and the Co-Director of Nanoscopy Lab at CCNY. Dr. Fu’s group has been investigating 1) the blood-brain barrier and transport in the brain, 2) glycocalyx in health and disease, and 3) tumor metastasis in the microcirculation. These research projects have been supported by the NIH, NSF, DOD and Andrew Grove Foundation, which includes a NSF CAREER award. Dr. Fu is an Associator Editor of Frontiers in Physiology and has been on the editorial board for a variety of scientific journals including Scientific Reports, Mechanobiology in Medicine and Medicine in Novel Technology and Devices. Dr. Fu has been serving on many review panels for NIH and NSF of the US, Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, Irish Research Council, Medical Research Council of the United Kingdom, National Health Research Institutes of Taiwan, as well as the US-Israel Binational Science Foundation. She has also been in the Organizing Committee and Scientific Program Committee for the International Congress of Biorheology and International Conference on Clinical Hemorheology, and for the World Congress of WACBE (World Association for Chinese Biomedical Engineers) since 2005. Dr. Fu has chaired and co-chaired Cardiovascular Engineering and Cancer Drug Delivery Tracks in BMES annual meetings, symposiums in the World Congress of Microcirculation and in Vascular Biology annual meetings, and Sino-American Workshop on Biomedical Engineering and China-Oversea Joint Workshop on Biomechanics. She was elected to the College of Fellows of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) in 2012. She received the Wiederhielm Award as the corresponding author for the most highly cited original article in Microcirculation over the previous five-year period in 2020 from the Microcirculatory Society. In 2018, a paper from her group was selected as one of the top 50 published over the last 50 years of Annals of Biomedical Engineering, BMES.
