Australia
Associate Professor Khoon Lim is currently an Australian Research Council Future Fellow and the Co-Director of the Sydney Biomanufacturing Incubator at the University of Sydney, Australia. His research focuses on using light-activated macromolecular chemistry to design dynamic biomaterials for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. These include musculoskeletal regeneration, cardiovascular health, chronic wounds and in vitro tissue models (cancer and aging).
He has generated >100 journal publications and raised a total of >$11 Million research grant funding ($6.6 Million as CIA). He is the Past-President of the Australasian Society for Biomaterials & Tissue Engineering, Board of Directors of the International Society for Biofabrication and Committee Member of Standards Australia (HE-012 Surgical Implants). He has won >20 competitive national/international awards, included in the World’s Top 2% Scientist List by Stanford University for 2022 – 2024.
He currently serves on the Editorial Board of Biofabrication, Advanced NanoBiomed Research, Tissue Engineering Part B, RSC Biomaterials Science, Macromolecular Bioscience and Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Medicine. His research has also led to commercialisation of biomaterials licensed to a US-based company and commercial contracts with industry partners.
