Trevor Moraes is a professor in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Toronto, where he has been active since 2009. He completed his undergraduate training at Queen’s University in 1997 and obtained his MSc in 1999 under Dr. William Plaxton. He earned his PhD in 2004 from the University of Alberta, supervised by Drs. Michael Ellison and J.N. Mark Glover, and pursued post-doctoral studies at the University of British Columbia under Dr. Natalie Strynadka. His research focuses on Membrane Protein Structural Biology, specifically the mechanisms of nutrient uptake in Gram-negative bacteria and their interactions with host systems. His work on surface lipoprotein translocation and the iron acquisition systems of bacterial pathogens such as Neisseria spp. is pivotal for understanding bacterial virulence and developing vaccine strategies. He also investigates transport mechanisms for phosphate and other nutrients through complex membrane systems, contributing to the understanding of bacterial adaptation and survival in varying environmental conditions.
