TED Fellow Aaron Morris's research focuses on creating an early-warning system for autoimmune disorders, organ transplant rejection and cancer. In 2022, he will open his lab within the department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Michigan with the mission of advancing the ideas in this talk. Before beginning this work as a postdoctoral fellow at Michigan, he earned his PhD from Yale University in 2017. At Yale, Morris used genetic engineering and controlled drug delivery to develop better materials for medical devices.
