DESCRIPTION OF RESEARCH:
After completing two clinical years in the Brown University Department of Surgery at Rhode Island Hospital, Dr. Thomay joined the Division of Surgical Research under the mentorship of Jorge Albina, M.D. Current projects include determining the role of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in sterile inflammation and identifying the phenotypic characteristics of the wound macrophage. Dr. Thomay is also investigating the role of Interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R) on the fibrotic response of healing wounds. When finished with his two years in basic science, Dr. Thomay wishes to continue pursuing a career in academic surgery. |
