Traci A. Wilgus studies how skin heals after injury, with a particular focus on scarring and fibrosis (excess scar tissue formation) and the role of immune cells like mast cells and macrophages in this process. Her work spans laboratory animal models, human tissue studies, and clinical trials, and covers related conditions such as keloids (raised, overgrown scars) and complications from implants like breast implants. This research is relevant to students interested in wound repair biology, dermatology, and translational approaches to reducing or improving scarring.

Publication output has fluctuated over the past decade, with a peak in 2020, a gap in 2023, and renewed activity in 2024-2026, suggesting an uneven but ongoing publication pace rather than steady year-over-year growth.
