Nicholas A. Peppas, past CRS president, was elected to the Institute of Medicine (IOM) of the National Academy of Sciences on October 13, 2008. Congratulations, Dr. Peppas, on receiving the highest recognition a scientist or engineer in the medical sciences can receive in the United States. Dr. Peppas' election places him in select company, as he is one of four chemical engineers and one of eight biomedical engineers to be active members in both the IOM and the National Academy of Engineering (NAE). Dr. Peppas is the only pharmaceutical scientist in both the IOM and the NAE.
