  • Abstract
    The influence of Robert Rushmer on the direction of the School of Medicine launched at the University of Washington in the late 1940s and the work of his group in cardiovascular physiology are examined. The establishment of the Center for Bioengineering in 1967 and its evolution are discussed. The principles underlying its development are outlined
