Dr Tim Moore, Phd

Biography

Dr. Moore completed a Bachelor of Applied Science (Chemistry) degree at Swinburne University of Technology, followed by an honours degree and PhD degree. Dr. Moore’s PhD dissertation was in the field of biodegradable polyurethanes; the title was ‘Design and Synthesis of Biodegradable Thermoplastic Polyurethanes for Tissue Engineering’. Dr. Moore has been involved with PolyNovo since its inception and is a co-inventor of some of the variants of NovoSorb™. He has been working on the development of biodegradable polymers for medical devices for over ten years. His main area of expertise is in polyurethanes and the development of biomaterials for use in medical devices. He developed a novel range of biodegradable chain extenders which is included in several of PolyNovo’s patent applications. Dr. Moore is involved in project management and product development in PolyNovo’s leading applications. Dr. Moore is also responsible for the maintenance of PolyNovo’s extensive Intellectual Property Portfolio. He is co-author on a number of peer-reviewed papers and patent applications. He was a co-recipient of the CSIRO Molecular Science Divisional Strategic Action Plan Award for Innovation (2004) and of the CSIRO medal in Research Achievement category (2005).
