Christopher Moraes

Associate Professor

School of Biomedical Engineering

Faculty of Medicine

Chris is a biomedical engineer who is ordinarily focused on microscale tissue engineering, human disease modelling on-a-chip, and tissue mechanobiology.  Turns out that these medical approaches could play an important role in sustainable materials development for a broad variety of environmental applications.  In this space, the Moraes lab is actively exploring fungal-based biocomposite materials, distributed and decentralized biomanufacturing strategies, and fully-circular sustainable healthcare product development.
