Founding Faculty.

Dr. Marcos Intaglietta visits the laboratory of Professor Peer Scholander at Scripps Oceanographic and organizes the subsequent visits of Dr. Benjamin W. Zweifach and finally Dr. Y. C. Fung.

The group meets with Professor S. Penner who proposes forming a multidisciplinary group in Bioengineering / Biomechanics in combination with the School of Medicine.
