Mark Johnson is Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Ophthalmology at Northwestern University. He has made substantial contributions to the study of the pathogenesis of glaucoma and of age-related macular degeneration of the retina. His academic interests include biofluid and biotransport issues, especially those related to ocular biomechanics. C. Ross Ethier is the Lawrence L. Gellerstedt, Jr Chair in Bioengineering and a Georgia Research Alliance Eminent Scholar in Biomechanics and Mechanobiology at Georgia Tech and Emory University. His academic interests include cell and tissue biomechanics and mechanobiology. He is co-author of Introductory Biomechanics: From Cells to Organisms as part of the Cambridge Texts in Biomedical Engineering.
