Professor Fiona Wood’s ReCell story is a powerful example of how clinical insight, scientific discovery and entrepreneurial determination can come together to create global impact. In this Oration, Fiona will share the journey behind the development and commercialisation of spray-on skin technology — from recognising an unmet need in burn care, through research and translation, to delivering an Australian innovation that has reached patients around the world.
