The Wound Healing Foundation established the Thomas K. Hunt (Endowed) Lecture in 2013 to honor the legacy of Dr. Hunt and to inspire and educate wound healing researchers on related research innovations. The award is not limited to those who are directly involved in wound healing research, that is, consideration will be given to researchers who demonstrate the ability to bridge scientific gaps and cross boundaries through the use of basic physiology to understand healing processes in multiple organ systems.
Additional characteristics of the WHF Thomas K. Hunt Lecture awardees may include but are not limited to:
Major contributions to scientific inquiry that is likely to advance the field of wound healing
Technological innovations or mechanistic insight that can quantify or improve wound healing or its research
Academic achievement through mentoring across disciplines
Potential impact on wound research directions or therapies
Future awardees of the Thomas K. Hunt Lectureship will be selected annually by the Wound Healing Foundation. The award will fund the travel, lodging, meeting registration and an honorarium. As of December 1, 2016, this lecture was 43% endowed. To help complete the endowment of this program, please donate or go to our donate page to make a donation today.
