SUMMARY:Biology Lecture Series: From Waste to Wisdom: Biomarker Discovery in Discarded Wound Dressings for Personalized Healing

 healing wounds faster and more effectively was hidden in what we throw 
 away? Every day\, discarded wound dressings contain a wealth of biological 
 information—clues that can reveal how the body is responding to injury 
 and what it needs to recover.\n\nIn this talk\, From Waste to Wisdom: 
 Biomarker Discovery in Discarded Wound Dressings for Personalized Healing\, 
 you’ll learn how researchers are turning medical waste into a valuable 
 resource for precision medicine. By studying the biomarkers found in wound 
 dressings\, scientists can uncover insights into inflammation\, infection\, 
 and tissue repair—insights that may one day help clinicians tailor 
 treatments to each individual patient. You’ll discover the science behind 
 this innovative approach\, why it matters for the future of personalized 
 medicine\, and how it bridges laboratory research with real-world patient 
 care. This isn’t just about recycling materials—it’s about 
 transforming overlooked byproducts into tools that could improve healing\, 
 reduce complications\, and reshape the way we think about wound 
 care.\n\nAbout the Presenter\n\nDr. Ivan Jozic\, Ph.D.\, is an Associate 
 Professor in the Dr. Phillip Frost Department of Dermatology and Cutaneous 
 Surgery at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and a proud 
 graduate of Nova Southeastern University. He earned his doctorate in Cell 
 Biology from Florida International University\, followed by postdoctoral 
 training in the Wound Healing and Regenerative Medicine Program at the 
 University of Miami before joining the faculty in 2019. Dr. Jozic has been 
 continuously funded since his postdoctoral years and is the recipient of 
 numerous prestigious honors\, including the 3M Postdoctoral Fellowship from 
 the Wound Healing Foundation\, the Young Investigator and Junior Faculty 
 Awards from the Wound Healing Society\, the H. Paul Ehrlich Rising Star 
 Award from the Wound Healing Foundation\, the Novartis Research Scholar 
 Award from the American Skin Association\, and the Junior Faculty 
 Development Award from the American Diabetes Association. He holds faculty 
 membership in the Molecular and Cellular Pharmacology Program in Biomedical 
 Sciences (PIBS)\, serves on the Admissions Committee\, and represents the 
 Department of Dermatology on the Faculty Council. Dr. Jozic is an active 
 member of several professional societies\, including the Wound Healing 
 Society\, Wound Healing Foundation\, and the Society for Investigative 
 Dermatology\, and he contributes broadly to the field as a reviewer for 
 funding agencies and leading journals. His laboratory is dedicated to 
 understanding the role of lipid rafts in cutaneous physiology and disease\, 
 with particular emphasis on chronic wounds\, inflammatory skin disorders\, 
 alopecia\, and skin aging. Current projects span biomarker discovery\, 
 wound healing mechanisms\, the paradoxical roles of caveolae in 
 inflammation\, the regulation of hair follicle stem cells\, and the 
 contribution of lipid rafts to cellular senescence. By integrating 
 collaborations across medicine\, chemistry\, and bioengineering\, his team 
 is advancing biomarker-driven\, personalized therapeutic strategies for 
 dermatological conditions and wound repair.
