Mark Borden, professor in the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering, is serving as the inaugural director for the college’s Biomedical Engineering Program. He led 26 faculty from across four departments in launching the program in August 2020.
Borden has served as the director of the biomedical engineering minor since 2018 and has been a member of the mechanical engineering faculty since 2010. He is also a fellow of the Materials Science and Engineering Program. Borden is a leading expert in the field of microbubble engineering for biomedical applications, and his lab has already launched two biotech companies in Boulder.
Borden received a BS from the University of Arizona and PhD from the University of California, Davis, both in chemical engineering. Before joining CU Boulder, he was an assistant professor of chemical engineering at Columbia University.
