Dr. Roh and his students at the Lab attended the Plastic Surgery Research Council Annual Meeting in Hollywood, CA!
Dr. Roh was invited to moderate the “Wound Healing / Burn” session as well as a “Best Papers” session.
The Roh Lab students were selected to give presentations during a “Best Papers” session, ranking within the top 15% of all abstracts submitted.
Sydni Britton presented her research findings for her project: “Single-Cell Rna-Seq Identifies Sensecent Fibroblasts Driving Chondrogenic Ecm Abnormalities In Keloid Scars.”
Kylie Tang presented her work on her project: “Systemic Senolytic Treatment with Dasatinib + Quercetin Exhibits Age-Dependent Effects on Acute Cutaneous Wound Healing.”
Additionally, Kylie’s poster presentation for “Frailty Predicts Adverse Reconstructive Outcomes Following Full-Thickness Skin Grafting In Older Adults: A National Cohort Study” was selected as 1 of 8 finalists for poster presentations at this conference (top ~5% of poster presentations).
Dr. Roh was invited to the NIA by Dr. Luigi Ferrucci, Scientific Director of the NIA and a foundational figure in geroscience, to share the labs work on cellular senescence, wound healing, and stress responses and resilience to injury and surgical stress in aging.
