When you’re a researcher at CHIRI the work can really get under your skin!

Just ask CHIRI’s Postdoctoral Fellow Dr Joanne Gardner (School of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences).

It’s been great having Joanne working with us as part of Associate Professor Pritinder Kaur’s team, whose research is focused on improving the regeneration abilities of skin stem cells.  Joanne had previously completed her PhD here at CHIRI.

The research team is working to develop better ways of growing skin in the laboratory for transplanting onto patients with skin-related injuries including burns, or to replace skin lost in the removal of skin cancer.
