Dr. Samantha Payne is an Assistant Professor at the Ontario Veterinary College (OVC), University of Guelph. Her research focuses on bioelectric control of cell behavior, particularly in the context of regeneration and injury. She investigates how neural structures influence tissue repair mechanisms, aiming to uncover core regulatory signals that drive cellular responses to wounding. Her lab's overarching goal is to identify environmental cues promoting regeneration in mammals, an area with great potential for developing new regenerative medicine strategies. Dr. Payne has published extensively on the interplay between bioelectric signals, neural cues, and cell identity reprogramming, contributing to a deeper understanding of regenerative processes in both non-mammalian and mammalian species. Her work addresses challenges related to scarring, neoplasia, and the varying responses of tissues to injury, guiding future research in regenerative therapies.
