About Dr Miguel Martin N. Moreno

Dr. Moreno received a Doctor of Medicine degree from Far Eastern University in Manila. He did his Clinical and Anatomic Pathology Residency at Makati Medical Center. Through a joint training program between the National University of Singapore and Makati Medical Center, he obtained a sub-specialization in Electron Microscopy.

He changed profession in 2001, when he was employed as a Research Scientist at St. Luke's Medical Center's Research & Biotechnology Division. He was awarded Most Outstanding Physician by the Philippine Medical Association in 2011.

He started his career in laboratory biosafety and biosecurity in 2008, and he was designated one of the first 19 certified biosafety professionals by the US Department of State Biosecurity Engagement Program and the University of the Philippines NIH.

Dr. Moreno urged the Philippine Association of Medical Technologists (PAMET) to embrace biosafety and biosecurity at its 50th Annual Convention in his quest to promote biosafety and biosecurity in all labs. PAMET accepted his challenge, and he became the organization's point-person for biosafety, biosecurity, and biorisk management, encompassing 97% of the country's laboratories. The following year, he established the BioRisk Organization of the Philippines 2015, Inc., or BRAP2015.

In 2016, the International Federation of Biosafety Association in Ottawa, Canada, acknowledged his national accomplishments by naming him the 2016 IFBA Biosafety Hero. He has served as Vice-Chair of the IFBA Board of Trustees since 2020 and is a member of the IFBA Certification Body. Doc Martin, as he is known among his coworkers, is presently IFBA Professionally Certified in Biorisk Management and Biosecurity.
