Dr. Hamilton is an Associate Professor in the Department of Anatomy & Cell Biology at Western. Research in his laboratory is focused on the molecular biology underlying wound repair and regeneration in connective tissues including bone, skin and the periodontium. His research goals include assessing the molecular factors involved in degeneration and regeneration of skin, bone and gingival connective tissues, enhancing wound repair around/with bio (active) materials, and design of new topographical and chemical features to enhance integration of biomaterials.
