Dr. Liechty has a strong interest in healing. He is currently the 2019-2020 Vice President of the Wound Healing Society and will be President-Elect of the Society in 2020-2021. Dr. Liechty is currently the 2019-2020 Vice President of the Wound Healing Society.

Dr. Liechty’s research team has pioneered the role of dysregulated microRNAs in the diabetic wound healing impairment, and the mechanisms of the correction of this healing impairment with stem cell and gene therapy. The Liechty research team is developing novel treatment paradigms using small molecule therapeutics including the microRNA conjugated nanoparticles, as well as stem cells and gene therapy strategies to promote healing and tissue regeneration in multiple tissues by modulating the inflammatory response, angiogenesis, the composition of the extracellular matrix, macrophage polarization, and progenitor cell content.
