wound healing. She uses a wide range of specialised tech- niques in her research. These include in vitro and ex vivo skin models, cell culture, tissue engineering, a variety of assays, microarrays, cryosectioning, histology, immunohis- tochemistry, various molecular biology, biochemistry and omic techniques, and specialised computer software for analysis. Her laboratory privileges at the Miller School of Medicine, Miami and Queen Mary University, London allow access to these techniques. She currently has 1624 Google Scholar citations (1087 of these since 2016) with an h-Index of 16. Six of her papers have over 100 citations with one cited over 300 times and two, over 200 times. Several of her papers published over the last five years have been in journals with impact factors of over three (3), with one having an impact factor of 7.2. Findings from her studies have been significant and relevant to human health. For example, her work on the develop- ment of a novel method of hair follicle micrografting is now widely used by dermatologists and plastic and reconstruc- tive surgeons in clinical practice. She identified biomarkers and genes that contribute to the non-healing of chronic wounds and biomarkers that may be useful for prognosis and diagnosis. Her work has also identified novel methods in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. Her stem cell work has identified these cells as potential candidates for cell- based therapy and has contributed to the fields of tissue engineering, wound healing and the clinical disciplines of dermatology, plastic and reconstructive surgery. Despite this focus on research, Dr Ojeh finds time for University service. Remarkably, she serves on 17 different committees. She always gives detailed reports to Faculty Board for the Curriculum and Staff Student Liaison Committees that she chairs and is quick to address issues raised at these meetings.
