\"francoisFrancois Berthiaume is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. Dr. Berthiaume received a BS degree in Chemical Engineering from Laval University, Quebec City, Canada, and a PhD in Chemical Engineering from The Pennsylvania State University. After post doctoral studies at the Center for Engineering in Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital \/ Harvard Medical School, he was promoted to faculty rank in the same institution. In 2009, he was recruited to the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Rutgers University. His research has been funded by numerous awards from private, state, and federal agencies, including the Whitaker Foundation, the Deshpande Center for Technological Innovation, the New Jersey Commission on Spinal Cord Research, the Department of Defense, and the National Institutes of Health. He has published over 150 peer-reviewed papers.<\/p>\n

Research interests:
\n<\/strong>Dr. Berthiaume’s research interests are in the general areas of tissue engineering and metabolic engineering, with a particular focus on technologies to promote wound healing.\u00a0\u00a0In the area of skin wound healing, Dr. Berthiaume has extensive experience in animal models of burn injury as well as pressure sores, and in the development of various modalities to improve the wound healing process of these injuries. Recently, we have developed, using fusion protein technology, recombinant proteins that exhibit increased stability and efficacy in the chronic wound environment.<\/p>\n
