Biography

Geoff Moggridge is a Professor of Chemical Engineering at Cambridge Cardiovascular University, specializing in the development of innovative heart valve prototypes using self-assembling polymers. His research is focused on creating mechanical heart valves that provide excellent blood compatibility and durability, mimicking the fibrous reinforcement found in natural heart tissues. The aim of his current research is to demonstrate the efficiency and reliability of these prototypes, which are essential for navigating the stringent regulatory approval process. Additionally, he has led pilot lab work that established the feasibility of using new materials in heart valve production. By addressing the challenges posed by traditional mechanical heart valves, such as their limited lifespan and increased risk of blood clots, Professor Moggridge is at the forefront of advancements in cardiovascular medical devices.
