Research Interest: In vivo near-infrared fluorescence bioimaging for drug screening, therapeutic evaluation, disease development, and stem cell-based regeneration medicine.

Omeed Memar, MD, PhD completed a combined degree from the University of Texas. His dissertation was on induction of autoimmune disease and the mechanisms that underlie it. He completed a residency training in dermatology at the University of Illinois at Chicago. He has researched the basic science of autoimmunity, carcinogenesis, and clinical rejuvenation. His practice of medicine has focused on treating patients with the presentations of aging and dysregulation of aging into cancer formation. He resides in Chicago, Illinois.

Research Interest: Anti-aging; autoimmune disease; psoriasis; Mohs surgery; melanoma

Research Interest: My goal is to use stem cell biology as a tool for the treatment of chronic wounds in diabetic patients, hypertrophic scar in burn patients and a variety of other disorders. I am interested to elucidate how bone marrow cells can incorporate and regenerate wounded skin tissues contributing to wound healing process. Considering that bone marrow provides the cellular substrates for many organs and that bone marrow derived progenitor cells are recruited to areas of injury or wounds. I am eager to understand the dynamics of homing and recruitment of these bone marrow cells to the skin and also their potential to engraft and reconstitute skin structures in wounded skin

Research Interest: Chronic mucosal inflammation is the leading cause of several diseases such as Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn’s Disease, and Epithelial Cancer and particularly, IBD induced colorectal cancer. Her research focuses on finding the therapeutic targets to regulate mucosal inflammation without compromising the healthy immune functions.

Research Interest: Tissue Engineering, Wound Healing and Stem Cell Biology
