Maud Gorbet is working as an Associate Professor in University of Waterloo and Received her PhD - University of Toronto.
Research Interest
My research focuses on problems of biocompatibility with biomaterials and biomedical devices. While biomedical devices have significantly improved quality of life and increased life expectancy of millions of people, their use is not without complications. Complications involving biological systems such as infection (vascular grafts, contact lenses), thrombosis (blood clot formation on cardiovascular devices such as mechanical heart valve) and fibrosis (orthopaedic implants, glaucoma shunts) continue to occur. Although the overall rate of complications remains low, the consequences may have fatal outcomes and the cost to treat them is significant.
