Daniel Fletcher: Elected to the National Academy of Medicine

Daniel Fletcher, Professor of Bioengineering, has been elected to the National Academy of Medicine, one of the highest honors in health and medicine. Fletcher was recognized for pioneering mobile phone-based microscopy that enables low-cost disease diagnostics in developing countries and for advancing the understanding of biological self-assembly and mechanotransduction. His lab’s CellScope technology transforms smartphone cameras into high-quality microscopes, expanding access to tools for diagnosing infectious diseases, ear infections, and diabetic retinopathy.
