Brian Eliceiri, PhD was the co-chair for the Annual WHS meeting held in San Diego 2017, and is currently a Board member for the WHS. He received his B.A. from Washington University in St. Louis, a PhD from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, post-doctoral training at the Scripps Research Institute in San Diego, and is a Professor in the Department of Surgery with a joint appointment in the Department of Dermatology at the University of California San Diego. His research is focused on mechanisms regulating immune homeostasis, with specific interests in the biogenesis of exosomes mediating cell crosstalk in the wound bed. Using advanced approaches for the analysis of single exosomes from wound fluids by flow, genetic strategies to map the source and uptake of exosomes, he has identified biologically important protein and nucleic payloads that promote wound repair in animal models of impaired wound healing.
