Curing Heart Attacks, Replacing Diseased Organs—Christopher Chen Is Engineering a Healthier Future
Christopher Chen was a teenager when he first started thinking seriously about what makes the human body such an amazing machine. An avid runner and soccer player, Chen injured his knee, sidelining him from sports for a while. His knee eventually got better on its own, but during this time of convalescence, Chen mused about replacement surgery—even the best materials, developed with the most cutting-edge technology, would eventually break down. If he had needed a knee replacement, he’d need another surgery at some point, and maybe even another after that.
