The main focus of my research has been on regenerative medicine approaches to improve skin wound healing and regeneration, especially in the context of aging. My training as a veterinary doctor and molecular and cell biologist gives me a singular set of skills and a unique research perspective ranging from foundational science to clinical applications. As a veterinarian scientist, I follow the One Health concept —the multidisciplinary collaborative efforts to attain optimal health for people, animals, and our environment—so my research program aims to benefit both humans and animals.
