The UNC/NCSU Joint Department of BME has announced their 2020 Department Achievement Awards and we are proud to announce that REdesign postdoctoral research associate Dr. Camilo Mora-Navarro has received the Postdoctoral Fellows Award for Outstanding Research Achievement!

The department had this to say about Dr. Mora-Navarro:

“Dr. Mora-Navarro (Freytes Lab) has pushed the field of manufacturing extracellular matrix scaffolds for regenerative medicine to the next level, published 4 refereed papers in 2020, filed a patent application, and excelled at training undergraduate researchers–one of whom has achieved co-authorship on a publication.”

Dr. Mora-Navarro was nominated for this award and selected by a panel of professors from both NC State and UNC. The awards were announced via email and on the BME website. He will receive a commemorative plaque along with this recognition.

We couldn’t agree more with the decision! Congrats, Dr. Mora-Navarro!
