Shu Chien (born 1931 Traditional Chinese: 錢煦), is an eminent American physiologist and engineer. His pioneering work on the fluid dynamics of blood flow has had a major impact on the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis. More recently, Chien's research has focused on the mechanical forces, such as pressure and flow, that regulate the behaviors of the cells in blood vessels. Chien is currently President of the Biomedical Engineering Society and is one of only 11 scholars who are members of all three U.S. national institutes: the National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine.〔http://ucsdnews.ucsd.edu/pressreleases/2011_09bioengineering_professor_shu_chien_national_medal_of_science/〕 ==Biography== Born in Beijing, Chien's ancestral hometown is Hangzhou of Zhejiang〔(Profiles of Consultants of the 16th Council of Academia Sinica )〕 and he grew up in Shanghai. Chien's family are descendants of the royal family of the King Qian Liu (錢鏐) of the Kingdom of Wuyue. His grandfather Chien Hong-ye (錢鴻業) was a Chief Justice in the Supreme Court of the Republic of China (in Shanghai). His father Chien Shih-Liang (錢思亮), a chemist, was former President of Academia Sinica. His elder brother Robert Chien (錢純) was former Minister of Finance of Taiwan, and former Secretary-general of Executive Yuan. His young brother Fredrick Chien (錢復) is also an influential politician in Taiwan. Shu Chien married Dr. Kuang-Chung Hu Chien in 1957. From 1947 to 1948, Chien completed his medical preparatory study at National Peking University (current Peking University in Beijing) Medical School. In 1949, Chien moved to Taiwan with his family. In 1953, Chien graduated from the National Taiwan University. Chien went to study in the United States in 1954 and obtained his PhD in 1957 from Columbia University. Chien also received M.D. from the National Taiwan University.〔Academia Sinica (Taiwan) Academician Profile: (生命科學組 錢煦 (The Division of Life Sciences – Shu Chien) )〕〔Lee Kuan Yew ''Distinguished Visitor'' (Shu Chien ) (Nov 25, 2008, Singapore)〕 From 1969 to 1988, Chien was a Professor of Physiology and Biophysics at the Columbia University. Chien was a Founding Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering in 1992. Chien is current President (since 1991) of the Whitaker Institute of Biomedical Engineering at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). Chien was the Chair of the (Department of Bioengineering ) of UCSD from 1994 to 1999 and from 2002 to 2005. He is also the founding director of the Institute of Engineering in Medicine in July 2008. He was named as a recipient of the National Medal of Science by President Barack Obama on September 27, 2011 for "pioneering work in cardiovascular physiology and bioengineering". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shu Chien」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
