About event
The role of tissue donation in medical restoration and repair with Hayley Resk, Community Outreach Coordinator for Solvita Portland, a tissue bank for Oregon and WS Washington.
About the lecture
You likely know about the importance of organ donation, but were you aware of the life that comes from donated tissue such as skin, bone, tendon, or nerves? When a tissue donor has passed, the gift of their donation has the power to transform grief into new hope by helping a living person heal from extensive trauma, burns, and injury. Donated tissue can act as bandages, bridges, and scaffolds to help restore and repair the human body without the use of extensive inorganic implants such as metal. The new life tissue brings is only possible through the selfless gift of donors and their families. In this talk, Hayley Resk will illustrate the biological mechanisms behind medical healing with the use of donated tissue, as well giving an overview of the different injuries that tissue can repair.
Science Pubs are a casual lecture series located in fun venues across the region, recommended for ages 10 and over.
