  • Comment: Possibly notable, but this reads like the profiles posted in conventions and journals. It should not have all those Dr. Rabbany notes everywhere. His AIMBE award needs to be in quotes. AngusW🐶🐶F (barksniff) 20:56, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

Sina Y. Rabbany is the Jean Nerken Distinguished Professor of Engineering at Hofstra University, dean of the Fred DeMatteis School of Engineering and Applied Science, founding director of the school's Bioengineering program, and adjunct associate professor of bioengineering at the Weill Cornell Medical College of Cornell University. His research concerns cellular and tissue engineering of the vascular system and investigates the impact of the biophysical microenvironment on the structure and function of endothelial cells.[2] His h-index is 27 by Google Scholar.[3]

Career

Rabbany graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1985 with a Bachelor of Engineering in Bioengineering. He also earned his Master of Science in Engineering and Ph.D. in Bioengineering from the University of Pennsylvania. He worked on his dissertation on the genesis of intramyocardial pressure with Dr. Abraham Noordergraaf.[4] Before his start at Hofstra, Rabbany served as a postdoctoral fellow at the Biomolecular Science & Engineering Division of the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C.

Rabbany joined Hofstra in 1990 as an assistant professor of engineering to create the Hofstra Bioengineering Program, the first on Long Island. Dr. Rabbany has received funding from numerous organizations, including the National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, and the Office of Naval Research.[5] He holds the Nerken Distinguished Professorship in Engineering and serves as the Founding Director of the Bioengineering Program.

Honors and awards

Rabbany was selected a Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) in 2012 for his outstanding contributions to the research and understanding of the role that the vascular system plays in promoting functional tissue regeneration and for his contributions to bioengineering education.[6]
