Michael Morykwas, PhD, will be delivering the Wound Healing Foundation-TK Hunt Keynote Lecture at the 2025 DLS Conference with WHF in Washington, D.C, on Thursday, April 10 at 9:40 AM. Dr. Morykwas’ lecture is entitled “Effects of Controlled Sub-atmospheric Pressure on Tissues.” This topic is of particular interest to Dr. Morykwas, who is one of the key innovators of the wound V.A.C.® (Vacuum Assisted Closure), along with Dr. Louis Argenta. His research on wound vacuum technology paved the way for negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) as a wound care standard. Dr. Morykwas continues innovating and is actively researching vacuum technology applications in traumatic brain and spine injuries as well as its healing effects on damaged heart tissue.

Dr. Morykwas is the co-founder and the President and Chief Science Officer of Renovo Concepts, Inc.  He is also Professor Emeritus of Surgery - Plastic and Reconstructive at the Wake Forest University School of Medicine, with cross appointments in Radiology - Biomedical Engineering, The School for Biomedical Engineering and Sciences (joint with Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University), the Wake Forest Institute of Regenerative Medicine, and the Center for Biomolecular Imaging. His 35 years as a pioneer of wound research earned him the Wake Forest Medallion of Merit for exemplary service to the university in 2015. 

• The WHF-Thomas K Hunt Lecture was developed in collaboration with Dr. Hunt to bring innovative scientists and clinicians from a variety of fields and inspire the wound healing community to learn and develop treatments in new directions. Dr. Hunt encouraged the Foundation to select honorary lecturers who also mentor the next generation of researchers. One-on-one engagement at the Hunt Luncheon between Foundation award recipients and the Hunt Lecturer is a memorable time.
