Biography
Roslyn (Rivkah) Isseroff, M.D., is a Distinguished Professor of Dermatology at UC Davis Health and Chief of the Dermatology Service Veterans Affairs (VA) Northern California Healthcare System, where she also heads the Wound Healing clinic. Her research interests focus on tissue repair and regeneration and how to translate these findings to new approaches to improve healing in patients who have chronic, non-healing wounds.
In her time at UC Davis Health, Isseroff has been a member or chair of multiple university-related committees as well as several professional societies such as the Society of Investigative Dermatology, American Dermatology Association, American Society for Cell Biology and National Institutes of Health (NIH) study section. She is also currently an associate editor for the Journal of Investigative Dermatology.
Isseroff's honors and awards include the NIH Research Career Development Award, the UC Davis Dean's Award for Mentoring, grants from the NIH, California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM), the Shriners Hospitals for Children and the Veterans Affairs (VA) and a number of patents.
Roslyn (Rivkah) Isseroff’s research interests include keratinocyte differentiation, migration and wound healing, signal transduction, bioengineered tissue replacement and toxicology of the skin. Current research projects focus on the analysis of cell responses to an applied electric field, bioengineered skin replacements and enhancers of wound healing.
Isseroff also directs a multi-specialty wound healing clinic within the VA Northern California Health Care System’s Sacramento Medical Center, which houses a clinical research unit actively carrying out both investigator and industry-initiated clinical trials for novel approaches to improve wound healing.
