About

Dr Cavalcante Silva joined Dr Timothy Koh’s laboratory as a postdoctoral research associate in early 2020 to study the role of inflammation during wound healing and to extend the research into human studies. Her research over the initial months as a post-doc has focused on interactions of macrophages with other wound cells during physiological and impaired healing.
