Innovation that enables people and communities.
The Center for Advancing Systems Science and Bioengineering Innovation (CASSBI) at George Mason University brings together scientists, engineers, healthcare professionals, and community members to research and create translational innovations aimed at challenges related to disability. Our vision is to explore new ways to enable all people to fully participate in needed and desired life roles and activities.
We are addressing grand challenges at the intersection of health, society, and technology. We see health as a “state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity” [World Health Organization, 1946].
CASSBI is led by Drs. Siddhartha Sikdar, Parag Chitnis, Samuel Acuña, and Jenny Mai Phan.
formerly known as the Center for Adaptive Systems of Brain-Body Interactions (CASBBI).
