He has dedicated over three decades to exploring the 'how's' of life — specifically, how genes and molecules regulate the physiological processes of our body in both health and disease. This exploration has led to the publication of over 50 research articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals, the editing of a scientific book, and mentorship roles guiding Honors, Masters, and PhD students.
Dr. Morais' journey through the intricacies of life and science has led him to a pivotal realization: while our physiology may be governed by genes and molecules, the essence of our existence — the way we live and experience life — transcends science and biological boundaries. He has insightfully observed that emotions and values such as love, compassion, sacrifice, inner peace, empathy, charity, and morality, as well as negative impulses like anger, hatred, greed, deception, and betrayal, transcend the confines of science. This epiphany sparked his quest for the 'why's' of life, directing him to seek answers for existential questions through various religious texts, ultimately finding answers in the Bible.
In his exploration of the Bible, Dr. Morais discovered compelling answers to existential questions that eluded scientific explanation. The scriptures unveiled a profound truth to him: the coexistence of our perishable physical bodies with our enduring, non-perishable souls. This revelation is poignantly captured in the biblical question: "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" (Mark 8:36-37). Through his journey, Dr. Morais has reached a harmonious conclusion: Science is for his perishable body, and Christ is for his immortal soul. He writes to share biblical truths for the soul and medical knowledge for the body.view less
