Bronwyn Dearman, a Medical Scientist at the Adult Burns Unit, Royal Adelaide Hospital has been instrumental in establishing the first Skin Laboratory for SA providing both a clinical service and the development of the Biodegradable Temporising Matrix (BTM) (a product now in fledgling global use in burn communities). To complement this first stage and assist in abolishing the need for a skin graft, the development of the Composite Cultured Skin substitute (CCS) encompasses her current research interests.
