Dr Joanneke Maitz receives “The Annual Health Research Infrastructure Award 2022” from Sydney Research
From Dr Joanneke Maitz: “The Annual Health Research Infrastructure Award 2022 was awarded for a project that Anthony and I are working on: Rejuvenating patients own skin cells for the treatment of burn injuries. Anthony and I are developing rejuvenated autologous skin cells using partial reprogramming techniques. We are combing the techniques we use in burn injury to isolate autologous human dermal fibroblasts together with a technique derived from pluripotent stem cell reprogramming, bridging the Burns Research Group with the Northcott Neuroscience Group to advance the clinical treatment of burn injuries. The award will allow us to purchase a transfection system to enhance our transfection efficiency. ”
