José Moran-Mirabal, associate professor, chemistry and chemical biology, holds the Canada Research Chair in Micro- and Nanostructured Materials (Tier 2).  Moran-Mirabal is developing new, more efficient methods for patterning and structuring thin films used in everything from electronics to biosensors. His research will expand our knowledge of membrane-surface interactions and open paths for the development of novel assays for the diagnosis of important diseases, and will have major impacts on environmental monitoring, clinical practice, and biological research.
