Ten UCI Beckman Laser Institute & Medical Clinic faculty among world’s top researchers

Study developed by Stanford University and published in PLOS Biology ranks top two percent of scientists

UCI Beckman Laser Institute & Medical Clinic Director Thomas Milner, Medical Director Stuart Nelson, Cofounder and Founding Director Michael Berns and seven Institute faculty are among the world’s top two percent of scientists. The list, which includes 445 UCI faculty, is based on standardized citation metrics developed by a team of scientists led by John P.A. Ioannidis, a statistician at Stanford University.

The study is published in the Public Library of Science Biology (PLOS Biology) journal.
The ten Institute faculty include:

Chris Barty, Ph.D., Distinguished Professor of Physics and Astronomy
Michael Berns, Ph.D., Distinguished Professor of Surgery and Biomedical Engineering
Zhongping Chen, Ph.D., Professor of Biomedical Engineering
Mark Fisher, M.D., Professor of Neurology
Enrico Gratton, Ph.D., Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Physics and Astronomy
Thomas Milner, Ph.D., Professor of Surgery and Biomedical Engineering
Stuart Nelson, M.D., Ph.D., Professor of Surgery and Biomedical Engineering
Eric Potma, Ph.D., Professor of Chemistry and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
Vasan Venugopalan, Sc.D., Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering
Brian Wong, M.D., Professor of Surgery and Biomedical Engineering
