In addition to her role as NYU Tandon professor and head of the Montclare Lab for Protein Engineering and Molecular Design, Montclare serves as the director of the school’s Convergence for Innovation and Entrepreneurship Institute and associate director for technology advancement at New York University’s Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC). She was nominated, reviewed, and elected by peers and members of the College of Fellows for her “outstanding contributions to biomaterials and biocatalyst design via synthetic biology and protein engineering.”
Election to the AIMBE College of Fellows is among the highest professional distinctions accorded to a medical and biological engineer. The College of Fellows is comprised of the top two percent of medical and biological engineers. College membership honors those who have made outstanding contributions to engineering and medicine research, practice, or education and to “the pioneering of new and developing fields of technology, making major advancements in traditional fields of medical and biological engineering, or developing/implementing innovative approaches to bioengineering education.”
