Alex Makowski

Education:
B.E. in Biomedical Engineering, Vanderbilt, 2007

Research:

Laser Irradiation to Accelerate/ Modulate Cutaneous Wound Healing.

            The lab has shown that mild dermal irradiation with a laser preconditioning (prior to injury) can improve wound healing characteristics in animal models. I am working to translate this research into tissue conditioning models (laser after wound exists), and also to situations of impaired wound healing, especially diabetic ulcers, to aid the wound healing process.



Personal Bio:

I enjoy practicing kung-fu, watching bad horror movies, running, playing guitar, and computer building.
