Rashid Bashir
CHAMPAIGN Rashid Bashir, a professor and the department head of bioengineering at the University of Illinois, will be the permanent executive associate dean at The Carle Illinois College of Medicine.
In that position, Bashir will work alongside Dean King Li to direct and oversee development and operations at the Carle Illinois College of Medicine, the nation's first engineering-based college of medicine. The appointment will be effective Aug. 16, pending approval by the UI Board of Trustees.
"Professor Bashir is a pioneering researcher at the interface of medicine and engineering as well as a respected leader on our campus," said UI interim Provost John Wilkin. "He has been a key player in developing the unique mission and curriculum of the Carle Illinois College of Medicine since its inception. His passion for education and proven record of innovation exemplify the visionary ambitions of this new college and make him the perfect choice to serve as the executive associate dean."
Bashir's research focuses on integrating engineering and technology with biology, from the molecular scale to tissues and systems. Among other innovations, his group has developed various lab-on-a-chip technologies, miniature biological robots and point-of-care diagnostic devices, leading to the creation of three startup companies.
Bashir earned a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Purdue University in 1992. He has served in multiple leadership roles since joining the Illinois faculty in 2007, acting as the director of the Micro and Nano Technology Laboratory from 2007-13 and as the head of bioengineering since 2013.
He has played a large role in the development of the Carle Illinois College of Medicine as chairman of the curriculum committee and as the interim vice dean. The college, a partnership between the UI and Carle Health System, will enroll its first class of students in 2018.
