STATEMENT OF RESEARCH FOCUS:

To understand the signaling and differentiation of placental stem cells to augment and facilitate the repair of damaged skin, i.e., both traumatic injury and age-related photo injured skin changes.

Develop novel solutions to reduce undesirable tissue adhesion to Med-Por subcutaneous tissue augmentation material thus enabling smaller pockets for insertion with reduced incidence of implant complications.

Study minimally invasive techniques for facial rejuvenation including the correction of photodamaged skin using intense pulsed light technology and facial and cervical contouring with external ultrsonic lipoplasty.
