Amaris Castanon completed a Bachelor of Science at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) in Cellular and Molecular Biochemistry and graduated with Magna Cum Laude high honors. She then completed a Master of Science with High Honors in Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine at The University of Sheffield in the UK, while working at the Kroto Research Institute on a bioengineering project involving regenerative medicine approaches for peripheral nerve injury repair. Amaris has a strong international background having also completed studies abroad at Graz University of Technology in Austria, where she was enrolled in graduate bioengineering courses and discovered her strong passion for regenerative medicine. She has conducted an extensive amount of international research at institutions like University of Pennsylvania (UPENN), University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), Universidad Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM), Graz University of Technology (TU Graz), Fraunhofer Institute of Applied Optics and Precision and Engineering in Jena, University of Barcelona, and Kroto Research Institute. Her diverse background has allowed her to obtain significant experience in many research fields including those of stem cell culture, biomaterials, and biochemistry –all fields vital to the interfaced environment that 3D bioprinting faces today. Today, Amaris is a Field Application Specialist and an appointed Faculty Professor of Biological Sciences. She is committed to revolutionize medicine through bioconvergence and education.
