The lab of Dr. Rinkevich explores the stem cells, embryonic lineages and molecular basis of tissue repair and regeneration as foundation for therapeutic use. Research direction includes discovery of fibroblast lineages in the transition from scarless healing to scar forming tissue responses. His latest work describing the fascia connective tissue, and its mobilization in injury repair in multiple organ systems is reinventing the way we look at tissue repair and regeneration, opening a new biological context to treat and resolve fibrotic diseases.
