An artificial platelet technology designed to help the body heal from traumatic injury is just one of the innovations that has earned Fowler School of Engineering Dean Andrew Lyon membership in the National Academy of Inventors (NAI).
Lyon, an internationally recognized chemist, is among 63 of the world’s best emerging academic inventors in the 2021 class of NAI Senior Members.
Known for his research on the fundamental physics of colloidal hydrogels, Lyon and his Chapman University research lab colleagues and students explore the possibilities of polymer nanoparticles. His research and commercialization efforts have yielded five biomaterials patents for clinical medicine.
