Research Interests
Our lab is interested in the incredible process by which humans heal wounds. Our ability to heal wounds is essential to our survival, yet this process often goes awry with resulting scar formation or failure to heal. Our lab is trying to uncover the molecular mechanisms that guide healing. The students and fellows in our lab are working to find the regulatory controls distinguish healing from true and perfect tissue regeneration. Our long term goal is to improve healing outcomes in patients who experience excessive scar formation or who suffer from non-healing wounds. Our lab has a friendly and open environment. We emphasize clear communication, respect for one another, integrity, and teamwork.
