Ongoing Research Projects
Jessica W. Lim, MD
- The Use of Bilfilms in Post-tonsillectomy Analgesia and Wound Healing in Adult Patients - Many collagen-based coating gels are now available for wound covering. These gels form an artificial membrane that reduces pain and infection and promotes rapid healing. They are readily biodegraded and do not have to be removed. Applying these gels to the tonsillectomy site might have similar effects.
- Stromelysin Expression in Aggressive Thyroid Tumors - Stromelysin is a collagen degrading enzyme that can break down connective tissues that normally serve as a barrier to tumor growth. If tumor cells can express stromelysin, they can become much more invasive. A comparison will be made between relatively noninvasive and invasive tumors to see if there is a significant difference in expression.
