Title: Molecular and Cell Therapy Platforms for Applications in Regenerative Medicine and Nanomedicine

Maryam Tabrizian is James McGill Full Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering and the Faculty of Dental Medicine and Oral Health Sciences at McGill University. She holds a Canada Research Chair Tier I in Regenerative Medicine and Nanomedicine. She is the recipient of many prestigious awards and fellowships, including FRQS-Chercheur National, Guggenheim Foundation, International Biomaterials Science & Engineering, ADEA Leadership Institute, Royal Society of Canada-Academy of Sciences, Canadian Academy of Health Sciences, and Canadian Academy of Engineering. She is one of the few researchers to be elected a fellow of three Canadian academies.  M. Tabrizian’s research program consists of four main themes: 1. Development of biomimetic materials to promote angiogenesis and osteogenesis, 2. Nanoplexes with targeting and tracking/imaging capabilities for tissue and cell imaging, 3. Real-time monitoring of molecular and cellular events at biointerfaces, and 4. Lab-on-a-chip devices for cell and bacterial detection, bioparticle synthesis and sorting. M. Tabrizian has over 275 peer-reviewed publications with nearly 20000 citations and an h-index of 70. She has been the editor-in-chief of Materials since 2011 and the founding editor-in-chief of Exploration of Biomat-X, a free peer-reviewed journal, launched in 2022 for the accessibility of science in global health.
