Congratulations to MS3 Bianca Uzoma (SOM 2022) for the acceptance of her UTMB Dermatology Research Honors Project, “Photoactivated Rose Bengal in the Presence of Melanin: Cutaneous Wound Healing Outcomes in Skin of Color.” The project will serve to elucidate wound healing disparities seen in different patient populations as well as provide a biochemical understanding of cutaneous wound healing and available new-generation therapies. Her ad hoc thesis committee members are the Chair Drs. Bret Howrey (Family Medicine), and dermatology faculty Michael Wilkerson (faculty advisor), Richard Wagner, and Kathleen Kroger.
The University of Texas Medical Branch Dermatology Interest Group (UTMB DIG) is a resource for medical students interested in Dermatology as well as for dermatologists and residents.
