WHS Session G: Feed the Wounds Moderator (WHS) Matthew Hardman PhD Laura Swoboda DNP, APNP, FNP-C, FNP-BC, CWOCN-AP, WOCNF, FAANP Presenter (WHS) Valerie Horsley PhD Howard Prior Dorothy Supp PhD Wednesday, April 28 4:30–5:30 PM Close faculty details Faculty Matthew Hardman PhD Wound Institute Director University of Hull Professor Hardman is Director of the £48M Wound Innovation Institute at the University of Hull, UK. He brings over 30 years’ experience in skin and wound research (h-index 50) and his work has been supported by funders including Research England, the Medical Research Council, EU, InnovateUK, National Institute for Health Research and industry. His group has contributed significant insight into the mechanisms that underpin wound repair, including discovery of the link between hair cycle and healing, demonstration that wound microbiome profile is linked to diabetic foot ulcer healing outcome and characterizing the role of estrogen signaling in wound repair. Former members of his team now hold Faculty positions across the UK, including at the Universities of Edinburgh, Bradford, Manchester and Hull.

After completing a Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation postdoctoral fellowship in Elaine Fuchs’ laboratory at Rockefeller University, Valerie started her independent laboratory at Yale University in the Department of Molecular Cellular and Developmental Biology. Horsley’s lab uses the mouse as a genetic model system to study how adult stem cells within epithelial tissues maintain tissue homeostasis, can contribute to wound healing, and can be a factor in cancer formation. She is now the Maxine F. Singer Associate Professor of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology at Yale, has received a number of awards including the Pew Scholar Award, Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers, and the Rosalind Franklin Young Investigator Award.
