M. Lowell Edwards Public History Project

M. Lowell Edwards (1898-1982) was an engineer, inventor and entrepreneur who spent most of his career in Oregon. With Albert Starr, MD, he co-invented the Starr-Edwards artificial heart valve. Their invention saved thousands of lives, and became a defining moment in the history of University of Oregon Medical School (now Oregon Health & Science University).

The M. Lowell Edwards Public History Project was made possible by a grant from the Edwards Lifesciences Fund. We are grateful to Teresa Edwards Allen and the extended family of M. Lowell Edwards for their generosity in sharing documents from the estate of M. Lowell Edwards. We also thank Richard J. Mullins, M.D. for his many contributions to this project.
