Dr. Warren Grayson is a Professor and the Vice-Chair for Faculty Affairs in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. Prior to joining the faculty at Johns Hopkins, he did his post-doctoral training at Columbia University and PhD at Florida State University in Biomedical Engineering. He obtained his B.Sc. in Chemical & Process Engineering at The University of the West Indies, Trinidad.
His research interests focus on the stem cell- and biomaterial-based regeneration of craniofacial bone and skeletal muscle. He is a pioneer in the field of 3D-printing porous, biodegradable scaffolds, and bioreactor design for personalized, craniofacial bone regeneration. His work on engineering anatomically shaped bone grafts received coverage in the New York Times, BBC, and Science Translational Medicine among others, and has spawned a start-up company. His lab has published over 100 peer-reviewed papers and book chapters and he has given over 100 talks nationally and internationally.
He has been recognized by the Maryland Academy of Sciences with the Allan C. Davis Medal for the Outstanding Young Engineer. He has also received the Career Development Award from the Orthopaedic Research Society, the Career Enhancement Award from the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research, the Young Investigator Award from the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine International Society, and the prestigious Early Faculty CAREER Award from the National Science Foundation. He was elected as a fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biomedical Engineering and recognized by the National Academy of Medicine as an Emerging Leaders in Health and Medicine. In 2021 he was named a Daniel Nathans Scientific Innovator by the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.
