Edit 1: X director of the McComb Research Foundation. Y director of the Fiona Wood Foundation (Formerly the McComb Research Foundation).

Edit 2: X Wood was born in Yorkshire, England, 2 February 1958. She attended Ackworth School near Pontefract, West Yorkshire. She was athletic as a child and hoped for a career as an Olympic sprinter, before training at a university and then St Thomas's Hospital Medical School in London, graduating from there in 1981.[1] Y Wood was born in Yorkshire, England, on 2 February 1958, the third of four children. Her father Geoff was a miner and her mother Elise was a physical education teacher. Growing up in relative poverty, Wood’s parents pushed their children to get a better education—with Elise even transferring to a Quaker school to improve the children’s educational opportunities.[13][14] There, Wood attended Ackworth School near Pontefract, West Yorkshire. She was athletic as a child and hoped for a career as an Olympic sprinter. In 1978, she was one of twelve women admitted to the St Thomas’ Hospital Medical School, London, graduating from there with a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery in 1981[1][14][15].

Edit 3: X: Wood worked at a major British hospital before marrying Western Australian born surgeon Tony Kierath and migrating to Perth with their first two children in 1987. She completed her training in plastic surgery between having four more children. Y: Wood worked at London’s Great Ormond Street Hospital and then at Queen Victoria Hospital in Sussex before marrying Western Australian born surgeon Tony Kierath and migrating to Perth with their first two children in 1987. She completed her training in plastic surgery between having four more children. In 1991, Wood became the first female plastic surgeon in West Australia[16]. In 1993, Wood began working with medical scientist Marie Stoner on tissue engineering. They focused on a particularly painful pain point—burn treatments. Through their work, Wood and Stoner were able to greatly decrease skin culturing time and greatly reduce permanent scarring in burns victims.[14]

Edit 4: X: N/A Y: In April 2020, the Fiona Wood Foundation collaborated with the South Metropolitan Health Services, the City of Canning, and RAC WA to form the West Australian Innovation Hub, a COVID-19 innovation initiative. The organisation sought to support the health and wellbeing of Western Australians by promoting innovation during COVID-19 pandemic. Wood serves on the WA Innovation Hub advisory board.[18] As of April 2023, Wood has produced over 355 research output with over 7,000 citations. Her research has an extensive focus on thermal burns, burn injuries, and wound healing.[19] In January 2022, she co-authored a paper discussing the efficacy of 3D bioprinting procedures as an alternative to “Spray-on” skin for burn victim treatments.[20]

Edit 5: X: Wood has become well known for her patented invention of spray-on skin for burn patients, a treatment which is being continually developed. Where previous techniques of skin culturing required 21 days to produce enough cells to cover major burns, Wood has reduced the period to five days. Through research, she found that scarring is greatly reduced if replacement skin could be provided within 10 days. As a burns specialist the Holy Grail for Wood is "scarless woundless healing".[6] Y: Wood has become well known for her patented invention of spray-on skin for burn patients, a treatment which is being continually developed. Where previous techniques of skin culturing required 21 days to produce enough cells to cover major burns, Wood has reduced the period to five days. This massive reduction hinged on the types of skin harvested; Wood focused her efforts on thinner skin which took less time for enzyme solutions to penetrate[6][13]. Through research, she found that scarring is greatly reduced if replacement skin could be provided within 10 days. This is because closing the wound quickly greatly decreases the chance of infection—one of the greatest causes of severe scarring [21]. However, as a burns specialist, the Holy Grail for Wood is "scarless woundless healing".[6]

Edit 6: X: N/A Y: In 2009, Wood’s company Avita Medical received 1.45 million USD from the United States Armed Forces Institute of Regenerative Medicine to expedite one of the company’s key product offerings, the ReCell kit [20].

 * I'll try to work on this later today (in Western Australia's time zone), if no-one else gets there in the meantime. Graham 87 03:24, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Mostly done, except for edit 4, as I couldn't find any *independent* reliable sources that showed the significance of these points and we don't like to have statements that date quickly wherever possible. Instead, I added the recent release of her biography, which I uncovered while doing my own searching for references. I fixed her mother's name (it's Elsie, not Elise) and did some other typographical/linking/formatting edits. Graham 87 13:37, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
