Mauricio Zamorano is an assistant professor in the Chemical Engineering Department at the Universidad de La Frontera, Chile. He has recently been appointed Director of the Biotechnology Engineering Undergraduate Program in 2024 at the same place. Mauricio Zamorano completed his Ph.D. degree in Chemical Engineering, with extensive laboratory and teaching experience, at the Imperial College London. Mauricio Zamorano’s main research interest is to study the bioprocessing of stem cells in 3D environments, the design of medical devices and clinical scale bioreactors. In particular, the production of bone, cartilage and dentinal tissue in biodegradable scaffolds, with the aid of media perfusion, biophysical cues and the use of physiological levels of cytokines. The ultimate goal of his research, is to produce functional bio-mimicking bio-materials for cellular therapy and regenerative medicine. In addition, his specialties include tissue engineering, biomedicine, biotechnology, biomaterials, and proteomics.
