At Johns Hopkins, Darwin R. Reyes serves as lecturer in the MS in Biotechnology program.

As a principal investigator at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Reyes’ work focuses on a cutting-edge technology he developed in his lab that allows for the integration of manipulation and measurement tools within microfluidic/microphysiological systems. These tools enable Heart-on-a-Chip and cancer cell-based assays and analysis to advance regenerative medicine and therapeutics.

Past member of the Commissioning Panel of the Lab on a Chip journal and the MicroTAS Conference Executive Technical Program Committee, he was a councilor of the AES Board of Directors. Reyes is currently an Advisory Board member for the Lab on a Chip journal, the chair of the International Microphysiological Society Standards Interest Group, co-founder, and co-chair of the Organ/Tissue on a Chip Engineering Standardization Working Group, and co-founder and chair of the Microfluidics Association.

Dr. Reyes was selected as by the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering in 2025 as an Emerging Leader. He was also awarded the PML/NIST Outstanding Achievement in Measurement Services and Standards Award for his contributions to the development of ISO standards through his work with Multi-Factor Authentication.

He holds an MS in Biomedical Engineering from Johns Hopkins University, a PhD in Chemistry from the Universidad de Puerto Rico, and a postdoctoral degree from Imperial College London.
