Helena D Zomer,
Research Assistant Professor
About Helena D Zomer
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.

Research Profile
The main focus of my research has been on regenerative medicine approaches to improve skin wound healing and regeneration. My training as both veterinary doctor and molecular, developmental, and cell biologist gives me a singular set of skills and a unique research perspective. 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 human and animal health. My expertise includes cell and molecular biology techniques – such as cell cultures, immunohistochemistry, western blotting, qPCR, flow cytometry and cell sorting, various animal models (mouse, rat, rabbits) and histopathology. In addition, I have experience with transgenic mouse models (conditional knockouts and lineage tracing).
