About The Author
Prof. Steven S. Saliterman teaches bioMEMS and senior design in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the
University of Minnesota. He is a faculty member of the Nano & Microsystems Applications Center, past Chairman of the Department of Medicine at Methodist Hospital, diplomat of the American Board of Internal Medicine, and CLIA certified Clinical Laboratory Director.
He is a former research intern at the NASA Johnson Space Center and research fellow at the NASA Ames Research Center. He participated in early design of the Space Shuttle Space Lab and developed implantable devices for space research. He designed and patented a system for simulating critical care patient management, inclusive of a manikin apparatus for practicing heart catheterization.
His current research is in biomaterials, bioMEMS and nanotechnologies. He has been a guest lecturer at Johns Hopkins and the Mayo Clinic; and guest speaker at the design of Medical Devices conference sponsored by
University of Minnesota, and the MedEdge International conference sponsored by Minnesota Medical Alley.
Reader ReviewsI purchased the book in order to take the BioMEMs class offered by the University of Minnesota and taught by the author, Dr.Saliterman. As a Biomedical Engineer, it provided a very realistic and complete view on the engineering applications of the medical field in relation to medicine. Although not overly deep, the book is very well written and allows for easy understanding of the material. I found that the reaches of engineering can be extended to many devices and fields with encouraging results. I thought that the book was a highly informative, interesting, and educational read that I will be keeping with me through medical school.
