We met with Dr. James M. Anderson in Cleveland Medical Center this morning and discussed our potential cooperation with his lab. Dr. Anderson is Distinguished University Professor and Professor of Pathology, Macromolecular Science, and Biomedical Engineering in Case Western University. 

Dr. Anderson has worked in the area of biomaterials, medical devices, and prostheses for the past 40 years and his current activities range from the clinical pathology evaluation of retrieved implants from humans to fundamental studies of cellular interactions with biomaterials. Dr. Anderson is the recipient of a NIH MERIT (Method to Extend Research In Time) Award (1993 to 2003). He is a founding member of the Society for Biomaterials and the Controlled Release Society and serves as a consultant to the National Institutes of Health Artificial Heart Program, the Food and Drug Administration, and the International Standards Organization where he is the Co-Chair of Working Group 1 for the development of the ISO Standard on Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices, ISO 10993. He is the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Biomedical Materials Research. In 2003, he was elected to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies of Science.
