WHS Session F: Cellular Cues Guide Regeneration Moderator (WHS) Brian Eliceiri PhD Daria Narmoneva PhD Presenter (WHS) Josh Currie PhD Samantha Payne PhD Min Zhao MD, PhD Wednesday, April 28 3:15–4:15 PM Close faculty details View Brian Eliceiri's profile on Linkedin Faculty Brian Eliceiri PhD Professor University of California San Diego Brian Eliceiri, PhD was the co-chair for the Annual WHS meeting held in San Diego 2017, and is currently a Board member for the WHS. He received his B.A. from Washington University in St. Louis, a PhD from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, post-doctoral training at the Scripps Research Institute in San Diego, and is a Professor in the Department of Surgery with a joint appointment in the Department of Dermatology at the University of California San Diego. His research is focused on mechanisms regulating immune homeostasis, with specific interests in the biogenesis of exosomes mediating cell crosstalk in the wound bed. Using advanced approaches for the analysis of single exosomes from wound fluids by flow, genetic strategies to map the source and uptake of exosomes, he has identified biologically important protein and nucleic payloads that promote wound repair in animal models of impaired wound healing. Close faculty details View Daria Narmoneva's profile on Linkedin Faculty Daria Narmoneva PhD Associate Professor University of Cincinnati Dr. Narmoneva received magna cum laude MS degree in Experimental Condensed Matter Physics from Moscow Institute in Physics and Technology, Moscow, Russia, in 1993. She completed her PhD in Biomedical Engineering at Duke University in 2000, where she worked in the cartilage mechanics laboratory with Dr. Lori Setton. After graduating from Duke, Dr. Narmoneva went to do postdoctoral training in bioengineering with Dr. Roger Kamm at MIT (2000-2001), and with Dr. Rich Lee at Brigam & Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School (2002-2004), as a postdoctoral fellow of American Heart Association. In 2005, Dr. Narmoneva joined the faculty of Biomedical Engineering Department at the University of Cincinnati, where she is currently an Associate Professor with tenure. Dr. Narmoneva’s research is in the area of vascular tissue engineering and regeneration and wound healing. In particular, the team applies bioengineering, biophysical and molecular/cell biology approaches to understand the effects of diabetes on vascular cells, cell-cell interactions and the role of microenvironment in regulating endothelial cell behavior. The goal of the laboratory is development of novel treatment strategies for regenerative healing of diabetic and chronic wounds and diabetic cardiomyopathy. Dr. Narmoneva’s research program has been supported by the NIH, American Heart Association, Proctor & Gamble, Ohio Technology Commercialization Accelerator. She is an author of more than 60 papers & proceedings. Dr. Narmoneva’s research has been featured on the NSF web page, in the local news, and has received multiple recognitions via research awards from the International Wound Healing Society. Close faculty details Faculty Josh Currie PhD Close faculty details Faculty Samantha Payne PhD Close faculty details Faculty Min Zhao MD, PhD Professor University of California at Davis Min Zhao graduated from a Medical School in China and obtained his doctorate in Trauma Surgery and Pathology. He was trained under Geoff Burnstock at University College London, before establishing his lab with a Wellcome Trust University Award at University of Aberdeen, Scotland, and worked closely with John Forrester and Colin McCaig. Since then, his research has been focused on endogenous electrical signaling in wound healing, and developing possible therapies based on this mechanism. He was selected to present at the House of Commons as one of the top young Scientists of the UK in 2001. He was promoted to full professor and personal chair in Regenerative Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, and honorary Consultant in Department of Ophthalmology at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary in 2004. He moved his lab to University of California Davis in 2007 as professor in Dept. of Dermatology and Dept. of Ophthalmology & Vision Science. He serves on grant review panels of NSF, NIH and DoD, and international agencies. His research has been published in Nature, PNAS, Nature Microbiology and other peer reviewed journals. He serves as a reviewer for Science, Cell, Nature and over 100 other academic journals. Research in his lab focuses on 1) understanding how electrical activities help to heal and regenerate; 2) exploiting electrical mechanism to treat injuries and diseases. His lab pioneered experimental discoveries that wound electric fields provide an overriding guidance mechanism for cell migration, and identified the first sets of genes underlying the response.
