George Alexander Truskey is an American

biomedical engineer
noted for his research on transport phenomena in biological systems, cardiovascular tissue engineering, and cell adhesion to natural and synthetic surfaces.

Biography

Truskey received his B.S.E. in

Pratt School of Engineering.[2] In 2014, he successfully chaired the committee to appoint a new provost for Duke University.[3]

Notable research contributions

Truskey is the author of over 100 peer-reviewed research publications, a biomedical engineering textbook entitled Transport Phenomena in Biological Systems,

Pratt School of Engineering.[6] The goal of the partnership is to promote translational research in Biomedical Engineering.[7]

Current research

In 2012, Truskey was awarded 1 of 12 awards for

NIH's new Tissue Chip and Drug Screening initiative.[8][9][10] These projects were also featured in a special supplement in Stem Cell Research and Therapy.[11]
His current research also includes point-of-care
stents and titanium devices to reduce restenosis complications.[12][13] His lab is also examining the effect of cell aging on endothelial permeability and mechanotransduction.[14][15]
