Biography

Mayumi Ito Suzuki is a Professor in the Ronald O. Perelman Department of Dermatology and the Department of Cell Biology at New York University. With a PhD from Nagoya University School of Medicine, her research focuses on the mechanisms of tissue repair, specifically in skin wound healing and limb regeneration. Her lab investigates how skin tissues regenerate, exploring both melanocyte behavior and the regeneration of hair follicles through unique murine model systems. The lab’s studies utilize advanced techniques such as genetic manipulation and single-cell RNA sequencing to reveal insights into the biology of stem cells and their role in regeneration and aging, contributing significantly to the understanding of imperfect repair mechanisms and the potential for perfect tissue regeneration.
