Erika Moore
Erika Moore, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor in the Fischell Department of Bioengineering at the University of Maryland. Her lab engineers biomaterial and microphysiological systems to investigate immune–vascular interactions in diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus and uterine fibroids. Dr. Moore’s work integrates biomaterials science, immunology, quantitative analysis, and microenvironmental engineering to develop sex-informed and ancestry-informed models of inflammation, fibrosis, and tissue repair. Her group focuses on macrophage and monocyte biology, extracellular matrix dynamics, and hydrogel-based disease modeling. She collaborates with engineering, clinical, and regulatory partners to advance translational platforms for understanding and treating immune-mediated conditions.
Research Areas:
- Immune–Vascular Interfaces
- Biomaterial Models of Uterine Fibroids
- Sex- and Ancestry-Informed ECM & Fibrosis
- Hormones and Myeloid Cell Function
