Details of Thomas C. Skalak, Ph.D.
|
Thomas C. Skalak, Ph.D., Professor & Chair of Biomedical Engineering, has been active in cardiovascular and biomedical engineering research and training for over 15 years at the University of Virginia and is currently President of the Biomedical Engineering Society. His research efforts are directed in two major areas: biomechanics of microvascular structure, function, and adaptation, and engineering of wound prevention and repair. There is a high degree of synergy between these efforts and with other research and education activities at the University. Dr. Skalak is also the Director of the Center for Engineering of Wound Prevention and Repair, funded by a private foundation. This center aims to link clinical problems in wound repair with state-of-the-art scientific tools and engineering technologies to understand and modify the cellular events involved in this process. Dr. Skalak's mentorship provides access to these resources and to this expertise, which brings a quantitative and technological aspect to the trainees' research as required by the individual projects.
