Plastic Surgery

The Division of Pediatric Plastic Surgery conducts research to understand craniofacial development, enhance wound healing, and optimize clinical outcomes. The Lan lab investigates the mechanisms and pathogenesis of facial clefting to develop strategies for treating and preventing craniofacial anomalies. Our translational research efforts aim to modulate pathologic scar formation with pharmacologic intervention. The clinical research focuses on improving surgical intervention outcomes for the most common craniofacial anomalies.
