Marc Jeschke
Overview
Dr. Marc Jeschke is a Professor in the Department of Surgery and the Department of Biochemistry and Biomedical Sciences at McMaster University and also holds a professorship at the University of Toronto. Dr. Jeschke’s research focuses on uncovering the challenges that older adult burn patients face and understanding why they often experience poorer outcomes. His work examines how severe burn injuries accelerate biological aging processes by impacting tissue plasticity, immune function, and metabolic resilience. Through studying these age-related declines and the cellular and molecular changes that contribute to them, Dr. Jeschke aims to identify therapeutic targets to enhance recovery and counter the accelerated aging observed in trauma survivors.
