My Research
I am currently a Master student in the Tissue Engineering & Regenerative Medicine Laboratory working under Dr. Robert S. Kellar. My research is looking at using a murine model to observe how recellularizing skin affects the mechanical properties. Recellularized skin could provide a beneficial treatment for third degree burns by having cells create a habitable matrix for wound healing to occur and strengthen the mechanical properties of the skin to create a barrier for the wound.

Tissue Engineering & Regenerative Medicine Laboratory
Robert S. Kellar, Ph.D.
Dr. Kellar is an Associate Professor of Practice in Biological Sciences and the Center for Bioengineering Innovation. He is the Co-Director of the Bioengineering PhD Program, the Co-Director of the Imaging & Histology Core Facility (IHCF), and an adjunct faculty member in Mechanical Engineering. Dr. Kellar’s academic laboratory is called the Tissue Engineering & Regenerative Medicine (TERM) Laboratory. His lab focuses on biomaterials, biocompatibility, cell & tissue culture, stem cell biology, and wound healing.
