Congratulations to Craig who was awarded the 2015 CP Has Heart Cardiovascular Award from the Heart and Stroke Foundation and Canadian Pacific! Craig is one of 10 researchers to be selected among 454 grant applications from across Canada and awarded a total of $3 million over three years to support his innovative research in finding a treatment for diseased heart valves.
Congratulations to Craig who has been appointed Scientific Director of Translational Biology and Engineering Program (TBEP), effective July 1, 2015! Click here to read the full story in U of T Engineering News.
Congratulations to Craig and his research team who have been awarded a grant to create a 3D model of the human liver. Funded by Ontario Centres of Excellence and pharmaceutical consortium CQDM, the research project could help test the safety of new drug molecules and therefore, speed up the approval process of new drugs.
| Congratulations to Craig, who was appointed as Associate Director, Research of the Institute of Biomaterials & Biomedical Engineering (IBBME) for a term of three years beginning July 1, 2014. This appointment follows his one year in the position as an acting associate director. |
| Congratulations to Craig, who was elected as a Fellow of the Canadian Society of Mechanical Engineers for excellence in mechanical engineering and active contribution to the progress of the profession and of the society. |
| Congratulations to Craig on his promotion to full Professor! Your lab is extremely proud of you! 🙂 |

The 2007 BMES conference took place in Los Angeles from September 26 – 29, and Craig and Edmond from the lab were there to participate. Craig (below) gave a sterling lecture on high-throughput mechanobiology, and presented current developments in that area that are being pursued within his own lab. Edmond presented his poster on matrix-dependent adhesion of vascular and valvular endothelial cells in microchannels. Also representing the University of Toronto was Irena Barbulovic-Nad (below) from the Wheeler Microfluidics Laboratory, who presented a poster on her novel work with droplet microfluidics and cell assays.
Craig wraps up his talk on high-throughput mechanobiology to a round of applause.
Irena Barbulovic-Nad from the Wheeler Microfluidics Laboratory discusses her work on droplet microfluidics and cell assays to a crowd of very enthusiastic and interested BMES attendees.
Congratulations to Prof. Craig Simmons who has been appointed the Division of Engineering Science Biomedical Option Chair, effective July 1, 2007!
