Jose Moran-mirabal

Professor, Chemistry & Chemical Biology

Jose Moran-Mirabal is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at McMaster University, Founding Scientific Director of the Centre for Advanced Light Microscopy, and the Canada Research Chair in Micro and Nanostructured Materials. Jose’s research combines strengths in micro- and nanofabrication, surface chemistry, and high-resolution fluorescence microscopy to design and study materials at the micrometer to nanometer scale. Current research projects in his laboratory include the development of modular surface modification approaches for the functionalization of nanocellulose; the development of simple and cost-effective bench-top approaches for the production of micro- and nanostructured surfaces and the application of high resolution fluorescence microscopy to study biomolecular interactions.
