Sumner A. Barenberg, CoGuest Editor for this issue of the MRS Bulletin, is vice président and chief technology officer of Tenneco/PCA, Skokie, fllinois. Sumner's research interests center on surface science, the effects of the environrnent on the interphase and interface, and the stability of materials in the biological microenvironment. Barenberg chaired the National Research CountiTs Committee on Biomaterials, in support of the National Academy of Sciences' and National Academy of Engineering's materials science and engineering initiative.

Edward P. Mueller, Co-Guest Editor of this issue of the MRS Bulletin, deputy director of the Division of Mechanics and Materials Science in the Center for Devices and Radiological Health, Food and Drug Administration, is responsible for development of research and testing programs in biomaterials, biosensors, and fluid/ structural mechanics to support the régulation of médical devices. He received his BSEE degree from Newark Collège of Engineering and his MSEE from George Washington University. Mueller has researched dia-

phragm electromyography and body plethysmography, and served as a consultant to the Pulmonary Function Laboratory at Walter Reed Army Médical Center, where he designed and constructed a body plethysmograph and pulmonary mechanics measurement System. He also helped design and develop a digital command and control subsystem used in Air Force satellites and worked on various satellite command and telemetry subsystems and Large Scale Integrated Circuit technology for aerospace applications.

James M. Anderson is a professor of pathology, macromolecular science, and biomédical engineering at Case Western Reserve University. His primary research interests are blood/material and tissue/material interactions, as well as implant retrieval and évaluation. His interests include the study of cell adhésion and activation on biomédical polymers with the release of cytokines, growth factors, and inflammatory mediators which control subséquent interactions at the tissue/material interface. Anderson is a past président of the Society for
