Guillermo Antonio Ameer is the Daniel Hale Williams Professor of biomedical engineering at the Robert R. McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science and Surgery at the Feinberg School of Medicine of Northwestern University and is a fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering, Biomedical Engineering Society, American Institute of Chemical Engineers, American Association for the Advancement of Science, Materials Research Society, and American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He is an engineer, inventor, and entrepreneur.

Early life

Ameer was born in Panama. He immigrated to the United States with his brother in 1988 where he settled in New York City. Later on, he moved to Texas where he began attending Collin College and the University of Texas at Austin where he majored in chemical engineering. Ameer was an intern at Hoechst Celanese and a summer operator at Shell Oil Company. He earned his Sc.D. in chemical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he studied with biotechnology pioneer Robert Langer. Following the degree, he pursued postdoctoral studies at MIT and the Department of Pathology of Harvard University where he worked with Hidde Ploegh and William Harmon.

Research

In 2018 Ameer's team developed a regenerative bandage which is designed to heal diabetic foot ulcers. The bandage is a liquid that upon contact with the injured tissue turns to a gel.

In 2018, he helped established the Center for Advanced Regenerative Engineering (CARE) and currently serves as its director. Vadim Backman, Nathan C. Gianneschi, Mark Hersam, Chad Mirkin, Milan Mrksich, Teri W. Odom, Susan Quaggin, John A. Rogers, and Clyde Yancy are associated with CARE.
