Heather M. Powell's research focuses on engineering skin substitutes and understanding wound healing, particularly for burn injury treatment. Her work spans laboratory development of lab-grown skin tissue (using cells like keratinocytes) and scaffolds, as well as clinical evaluation of scarring, skin grafting techniques, and devices for harvesting skin cells for treatment. This is applied biomedical research aimed at improving recovery and reducing scarring for burn and wound patients.
