Rica Tanaka, MD Board Member: 2017-Present Associate Professor Juntendo University School of Medicine Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Tokyo, Japan Contact Rica View Bio Rica Tanaka MD.,PhD is an associate professor at Juntendo University School of medicine specialized in wound healing, limb salvage, lower limb reconstruction, and regenerative therapy. Rica grew up in Los Angeles, California and moved to Japan for medical school. Since she was always interested in tissue regeneration or reconstruction, after finishing medical school, Rica decided to become a plastic and reconstructive surgeon and studied stem cell and regenerative medicine as a researcher. After becoming a plastic and reconstructive surgeon and facing patients receiving amputations with non-healing wounds, her work focused on saving these patients undergoing limited treatments for non-healing wounds. At the same time, she began to study diabetic vascular stem cells to investigate the cause of the disease entity. After receiving PhD in regenerative medicine, her first experience in clinical trial treating non-healing diabetic wounds with peripheral vascular stem cells had thought her the limitations of autologous stem cell therapy for diabetic patients (invasive technique and dysfunction of autologous stem cells). In order to overcome the limitations of present stem cell therapy for disease bearing patients, she established a world first stem cell therapy which can be done with only minimal amount of blood draw possessing cells with high tissue regenerative capacity restoring patient stem cell dysfunction. Presently, her clinical work is devoted to running the wound healing/limb salvage clinic at Juntendo University Hospital while establishing the new stem cell therapy for all non-healing wound patients hoping to have this treatment approved for reimbursement within the next 5 years. Also, she is deeply involved in promoting and improving the field of wound healing in the Japan by undertaking the position of councilor for the Japanese society of wound healing society, Japanese society of plastic and reconstructive surgery, Japanese society of limb and foot salvage, Japanese society of Regenerative medicine. And director of Japanese society of foot care. As becoming a part of the WHF member and she will be sharing the field of wound healing in Japan to the world and visa versa. Since my long-standing interest is to establishing simple, minimal invasive, and cost effective stem cell therapy for non-healing wounds, I plan to investigate the proper use of stem cell therapy for non-healing wounds and provide appropriate information regarding stem cells therapy to wound patients and related societies during the term as a WHF member.

Past Presidents

1999-2002	Kel Cohen View Bio Dr. Cohen received a BS degree from Columbia University in 1959 and MD degree from The University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill in 1963. He interned at The Mary Hitchcock Dartmouth Hospital in Hanover New Hampshire and then returned to UNC for training in General Surgery which he completed in 1968. There he was set on fire by the late Erle E Peacock Jr. who remains as one of the great fathers of wound healing. He then trained in Plastic Surgery at the Johns Hopkins Hospital from 1968-1970. From 1970-1972 he was a special fellow at the National Institutes of Health where George Martin, PhD mentored him as he sought to develop the skills to do research in the then infant field of wound healing. In 1972 he founded the Clinical Plastic Surgery program and develop a wound healing research laboratory at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Va. With his staff, they developed the first clinical wound-healing center in the USA. Dr Cohen was funded by the NIH throughout his entire academic career. He was a professor of Surgery and Chairman of Plastic Surgery for 3 decades. During this time, his team produced well over 100 articles on wound healing, edited a comprehensive text on the subject, wrote numerous book chapters and an award winning wound healing movie. He established Tissue Technologies Holding LLC in 2002 with federal funding for making and licensing FDA approved protease sequestering dressing. He served as Medical Director of Greystone Pharmaceuticals and performed contract research for that company until 2009 when Greystone ceased activity. In the late 1980s, Dr Cohen presented his wound healing colleagues with the idea for an American Wound Healing Foundation. The idea �caught on� and after several meetings, the WHS (Wound Healing Foundation) was born in 1989. During the organizational phase he asked his young associate Bob Diegelmann to help in the organizational process and with Bob, they ran the WHS from their office for the first 5 years of its existence. The WHF (Wound Healing Foundation) followed a few years later in 1999. Most of Dr. Cohen's time is now devoted to his consulting company Bio-Ideas Inc. , helping the organizational challenges of American medical students at the ELAM medical school in Cuba, developing �The Wound Healing Coalition� and finally having the time to read and play. Most important to him is time with his wife, Gayle, and their wonderful kids and grandchildren. He is grateful for the support and advice all his family has given him over the years.
