Samantha Payne is an Assistant Professor at the Ontario Veterinary College, University of Guelph, specializing in bioelectric control of cellular behavior, positional identity, and regeneration. Her research focuses on understanding the molecular pathways that govern regeneration in mammals, especially how nerves can influence healing and regeneration processes. She investigates the cellular responses to injury and the factors that drive the regeneration process, aiming to uncover the core neural-mediated drivers of regeneration. Dr. Payne's lab aims to identify the environmental cues that influence cell behavior during wound healing and to develop new strategies for regenerative medicine based on her findings. She has published numerous articles in reputable journals, contributing significantly to the understanding of cellular mechanisms in regeneration and injury response. Her work includes exploring the intersection of cancer, cell identity reprogramming, and tissue response mechanisms, particularly in the context of scarring and regeneration. Through her research, Dr. Payne seeks to advance the field of veterinary medicine and health, enhancing practical applications that benefit both animal and human health.
