Expert Details
Wound Healing, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology
ID: 721820
New Jersey, USA
Fibrosis is, in part, a corollary of inflammation and wound repair. Expert has been involved in studies of wound healing for almost thirty years, and his work on the role of macrophages in repair has become a central paradigm in the field. As a result of these studies, he has been involved in numerous studies of aberrant repair and fibrosis, and has much experience in this field.
Expert has acted as a project consultant for BioCure Inc., providing both in-depth scientific advice and basic in-lab. experimentation on a contract basis.He consulted for the Kendall Co., providing in-depth education in the field of wound repair and project evaluation.
