Roger D. Kamm is the Cecil and Ida Green Professor of Biological and Mechanical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Dr. Kamm received his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Northwestern University (1972), and both his M.S. (1973) and Ph.D. (1977) in Mechanical Engineering MIT. Dr. Kamm joined the MIT faculty in 1977.

Dr. Kamm’s research aims to understand the fundamental nature of how cells sense and respond to mechanical stimuli, and to employ the principles revealed by these studies to seek new treatments for vascular disease, neurological disease and cancer, and to develop tissue constructs for drug and toxicity screening.

Dr. Kamm has authored/co-authored over 350 refereed publications and co-edited two books. He has earned seven patents and has two pending. Dr. Kamm is a Fellow of the American Institute for Biomedical Engineering, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Society of Mechanical Engineering, the International Academy of Medical and Biological Engineering and the Biomedical Engineering Society; and a member of the Biophysical Society, the International Federation for Medical and Biological Engineering and the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering.

He is the former chair of the U.S. National Committee on Biomechanics and the World Council on Biomechanics, and former director of the Global Enterprise for Micro Mechanics and Molecular Medicine (GEM4). He is as former chair of the International Academy of Medical and Biological Engineering. Dr. Kamm is a Fellow of the National Academy of Medicine. His other recognitions include the H.R. Lissner Medal (2010) and the Nerem Medal (2018) from the American Society of Mechanical Engineering, the Huiskes Medal (2015) from the European Society of Biomechanics, and the Shu Chien Award (2020) from the Biomedical Engineering Society.
