Professor Eduardo Villarreal Ramírez is a biologist specializing in understanding biomineralization processes. He has been rigorously trained in biomaterials sciences and the biophysics of proteins. He earned a PhD in the Biochemical Sciences program at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) with honors in 2010. During his postdoctoral training at the Hospital for Special Surgery, affiliated with Weill Medical College of Cornell University, he studied the structure and function of intrinsically disordered proteins associated with biominerals. Later, he continued his research at the Faculty of Dentistry, UNAM, exploring the replication of biomineralization processes to develop new biomaterials for bioengineering applications.
