We are also exploring birth defects-why they occur and how to effectively treat them. In the 21st century, our areas of focused research include new microsurgical methods to more safely transplant a wider variety of tissue new and improved wound treatment and the development of artificial bone and skin. Working together, we are meeting our common challenges and finding solutions for shared problems Our faculty, post-doctoral fellows and medical students are closely involved with many varied basic science disciplines and surgical specialties. The research program at University Plastic Surgeons Center for Reconstructive Surgery has a distinguished reputation throughout the country. One example is how Nobel Laureate Joseph Murray, M.D., performed the first kidney transplant and-through his plastic surgery expertise-opened up the filed of transplantation surgery. This is certainly true for plastic and reconstructive surgery as it interacts with and influences other surgical fields. Investigative research into the mysteries of how the body functions leads to greater understanding of the interdependency of all medical disciplines, and thus contributes to all surgical progress. The integration of basic science with clinical research has led the way for most of the important advances in reconstructive surgery.
