Samuel Carmichael, MD MS FACS, is an assistant professor of surgery in the Section of Acute Care Surgery at Wake Forest University School of Medicine. He completed a general surgery residency at the University of Kentucky in 2018 followed by fellowship in Acute Care Surgery at Wake Forest University School of Medicine in 2020. Since that time, he has conducted research at the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM), investigating human placental stem cell-based therapies for prevention of abdominal adhesions under Dr. Anthony Atala. He has received funding in this effort from the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma and through an intramural KL2 award. Presently, his continuing efforts seek to describe the native surface glycobiology of the abdomen, the epithelial glycocalyx, under conditions of homeostasis and surgical injury to guide development of future reliable prophylactics for prevention of abdominal adhesions.
