Boris Hinz: Myofibroblasts, mechanics and macrophages in tissue repair and fibrosis

Boris' research focuses on tissue repair and regeneration. See also http://hinzlab.com/ 

After his talk, there is the opportunity for a virtual one-to-one meeting with Boris.

Please send me an email if you are interested in talking to him. I will then put together a schedule.

Some recent Papers of Boris are:
