About The Zomer Lab
Meet our team
Dr. Helena Zomer, DVM, MS, PhD
The main focus of my research has been on regenerative medicine approaches to improve skin wound healing and regeneration. My training as a veterinary doctor and molecular and cell biologist gives me a singular set of skills and a unique research perspective ranging from foundational science to clinical applications. As a veterinarian scientist, I follow the One Heath concept —the multidisciplinary collaborative efforts to attain optimal health for people, animals, and our environment—so my research program aims to benefit both humans and animals.
