This past month, Jun Park (UTMB MS2) traveled to the University of Wisconsin-Madison to conduct primary historic research within the Mohs Micrographic Surgery Collection. During his visit, he examined Dr. Frederic Mohs' early laboratory notebooks and archival materials documenting the development of Mohs Micrographic Surgery. Over 200 pages of notes and images were collected and are currently being organized to support project development. These materials provide valuable insight into Dr. Mohs' early work, including tissue fixation methods and the evolution of en face processing.
This trip was fully funded by the endowed fund related to the Mohs collection. His project mentor is Richard F. Wagner Jr., MD, UTMB Professor Dermatology.
