Dr. Ruth Tevlin is a Plastic Surgeon Scientist specializing in Craniofacial Surgery, with a strong research focus on tissue regeneration, bone repair, and advanced surgical techniques. Her work integrates cutting-edge molecular biology with clinical practice, aiming to enhance outcomes for patients with complex craniofacial birth differences and deformities due to trauma and disease. Dr. Tevlin’s research investigates the role of stem cells and biomaterials in promoting tissue regeneration and improving regeneration and reconstruction of craniofacial structures. She has led studies on novel strategies for bone regeneration and is dedicated to advancing precision care in Craniofacial Surgery. By bridging the gap between basic science and clinical application, Dr. Tevlin is working to develop more effective translational treatment strategies that not only improve surgical outcomes but also accelerate recovery for patients.
