Message from the Director of Research

Welcome to the Research Program of the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the University of Wisconsin. As part of the University of Wisconsin, our Division has access to tremendous research opportunities throughout the campus. The research philosophy of our Division is to develop a breadth of translational research projects that combine our own strengths with ongoing studies of clinical relevance across the campus.

Within this framework, residents who commit a year to laboratory research are encouraged to investigate their individual interests rather than being assigned an ongoing project. Typically, residents pursue research questions that can be answered by employing our imaging tools to study experimental models that have clinical relevance. Currently, we have one integrated resident (PGY-4) within the Division who is conducting research on a T-32 NIH grant.

These three program areas are integrated through lab meetings , and a cohesive and collaborative research environment. Residents thereby obtain extensive training and exposure to both basic and applied research with the added benefit of having the autonomy of a true academic research experience. Please feel free to contact me or our residents with questions.
