Professor and Director for Graduate Studies
Stony Brook University School of Dental Medicine
Prof. Marcia Simon has a distinguished career in skin biology. After obtaining her PhD in Biochemistry from Brandeis University, she trained with Prof. Howard Green at MIT and Harvard Medical School, where she participated in one of the world's first uses of autologous bioengineered skin graft trials for the treatment of extensive burn injuries. At Stony Brook, Dr. Simon served as Graduate Program Director in Oral Biology and Pathology, Chair of the Graduate Council, member of the executive board of the Suffolk County Volunteer Firefighters Burn Center Fund, and Director of the Living Skin Bank, where she directed research in skin tissue engineering, wound healing, and burn injuries. She made seminal contributions in understanding the impact of retinoids and their metabolism in epidermal keratinocytes as a means of regulating epidermal function and tissue homeostasis. Her research has been supported with over $10 million in industry awards (Unilever, Pfizer, Transkaryotic Therapies, Advanced BioHealing) and grants from the US Army, (USAMRAA, USDOA), the National Institute of Health (NIH), the National Science Foundation (NSF), and the New York State Department of Health.
