• MSTP (MD/PhD) student within the Division of Biology and Biological Sciences (DBBS)
• Research Question: How can immune responses be modulated to improve angiogenesis and regeneration across acellular scaffolds used to repair large tissue injuries?

• Senior Scientist
• Histological preparation of tissues for lightand electron microscopy.
• Dan has over 30 years’ experience in histology and microscopic analysis of nerve.

She earned her medical degree from Queens University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, and completed a plastic surgery residency at the University of Toronto. She went on to complete fellowships in neurosurgical research at the University of Toronto and Hand Surgery at the Raymond Curtis Hand Center in Baltimore.

She is a principal investigator within the Peripheral Nerve Surgical Research Laboratories.

Research topic: whether neuro-enhancing therapies have additive or synergistic effects on clinically-relevant nerve injury and repair scenarios.

Deng is a graduate student in the medical scientist training program (MSTP) within the Division of Biology and Biological Sciences (DBBS). He is researching how different cells that repopulate acellular scaffolds used to repair nerve injuries impact regeneration. He is working under the supervision and mentorship of Susan Mackinnon and Matthew Wood. 

• International Post-doctoral Fellow
• Research Question: How can electrical stimulation protocols be improved to translate therapies to the clinical to treatnerve injuries.

• Scientific Director, Plastic Surgery Research Laboratories 
• Assistant Professor of Surgery, Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery 

• Received his graduate degrees in Biomedical Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis. 
• Post-doctorate at the Hospital for Sick Children and the University of Toronto under the co-mentorship of Drs. Gregory Borschel, Molly Shoichet, and Tessa Gordon.
