Burn Wounds

UC Irvine is one of the few burn centers in the nation, and the only one in Orange County to be recognized by both the American College of Surgeons and the American Burn Association.

Recent advances in research have shown the potential of stem cells in improving the rate and quality of wound healing, and regenerating the skin and its appendages. Stem cell-based therapeutic strategies offer new prospects in regenerative medicine for burns and wound care.

The Alpha Stem Cell Clinic at UC Irvine has successfully conducted stem cell clinical trial for burns, and will continue to work with other stakeholders to bring more clinical trials to our community.
