INVENTIVE: Genetics professor Stanley Cohen and surgery professor Thomas Fogarty were recently inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame—Cohen for his pioneering work in genetic engineering and Fogarty for developing his balloon embolectomy catheter, which removes clots from blood vessels. Daniel Fletcher, PhD ’01, and Michael Oddy, a doctoral candidate in mechanical engineering, were among the winners of the hall’s student competition, which carries a $20,000 cash prize. Fletcher invented a pulsed liquid microjet used in precision surgery, and Oddy developed an electrokinetic instability micromixer that advances biochemical “lab on a chip” technology.
