Research outline - CHBRI - Wound Healing Laboratory

On this page:

Research program

Key Wound Healing Laboratory research questions:

  • How do macrophages migrate and adhere in a wound?
  • Can we dampened down inflammation in the wound by reducing the number of macrophages?
  • Will dampening inflammation reduce scarring?

We are uniquely positioned in this clinical environment to answer these questions.
