WHS General Session: Inflammation in Tissue Repair and Regeneration

Dr. Martin is a Professor of Cell Biology at the University of Bristol. His research focuses on understanding the genetics and cell biology of wound healing using a variety of model organisms, including fruit flies, zebrafish, and mice. The overall goal of this work is to uncover basic mechanisms of wound healing that will ultimately enable the development of wound healing therapeutics for patients. His laboratory uses cutting-edge techniques to understand what regulates the processes of reepithelialization and wound inflammation, in the hope that this information might be used to generate therapies capable of accelerating healing and reducing fibrosis.
