Ryan Driskell, PhD — assistant professor, School of Molecular Biosciences, College of Veterinary Medicine at WSU Pullman — will be visiting WSU Spokane for a jointly sponsored seminar of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Molecular Medicine and the Department of Translational Medicine and Physiology. His seminar entitled, “Fibroblast Biology in Skin Development, Wound Repair, and Regeneration” will be in person in the Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Sciences Building, room 101 and through Zoom on Wednesday, Feb. 22, noon–1 p.m.
Skin is a complex organ that forms scars during the healing process of wounds. Fibroblasts, the key cells responsible for the formation of skin structure during development also play a crucial role in wound healing. By understanding how to control the function of fibroblasts, we may be able to improve the regenerative healing process in wounds and have potential implications for anti-aging treatments.
Dr. Driskell is the head of the Fibroblast and Skin Regeneration Laboratory at the School of Molecular Biosciences in Washington State University. The Driskell Laboratory utilizes the transgenic mouse technologies in conjunction with molecular and histological techniques to deduce an understanding to induce skin regeneration.
We look forward to you joining us in person (PBS 101) or through Zoom!
