Anne M. Hocking PhD

Dr. Hocking’s long-term goal is to develop therapies to accelerate and improve wound healing. She is focused on understanding why some wounds fail to heal whereas others heal with excessive scarring. Specifically, Dr. Hocking and her collaborators are elucidating the molecular and cellular responses to injury in acute wounds, diabetic wounds, and burn wounds. They use a variety of approaches including in vitro and in vivo wound models combined with tools from cell biology, functional genomics and metabolomics
