Edgar Krötzsch is a biochemist with an MSc and PhD in basic biomedical research, with his studies being carried out at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, in the Faculty of Chemistry and the Instituto de Investigaciones Biomédicas. Today, he is head of the Laboratory of Connective Tissue in the Centro Nacional de Investigación y Atención de Quemados at the Instituto Nacional de Rehabilitación “Luis Guillermo Ibarra Ibarra”, Mexico City, Mexico. During his 30 years of experience studying extracellular matrix turnover and inflammation during wound repair, Dr. Krötzsch has focused on three important aspects; 1) the pathophysiology of tissue repair and fibrosis, 2) the assessment of different therapeutics to improve wound healing, and 3) collaboration with other scientists in different fields of knowledge, but under his expertise regarding the the role of extracellular matrix turnover and its regulation by inflammation. Supported by several colleagues and students, Dr. Krötzsch is still learning about the most advanced experimental techniques in order to prove hypotheses or describe observational trials that can lead to the generation of knowledge, and improve therapeutical strategies for patients or create new guidelines for clinicians.
