Michael Hendry

Dr. Michael Hendry is an Assistant Professor at Queen's University's Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Surgery, and an Attending Surgeon in Plastic Surgery at Kingston Health Sciences Centre. He earned his MD from the University of Toronto and completed a fellowship at Harvard Medical School.

• Specializes in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
• Clinical focus: complex hand, wrist, and peripheral nerve surgery
• Research focus: peripheral nerve regeneration, molecular biology, and nerve transfer techniques

His research explores:

• Basic science of peripheral nerve transfers
• Molecular mechanisms in nerve regeneration
• Development of transgenic mouse models for nerve injury
• Creation of unified clinical metrics for nerve recovery assessment

Key trends in his publications include pharmacological interventions (e.g., Herceptin's role in nerve repair), comparative histomorphometry techniques, and surgical innovations like cross-face nerve grafting. The Hendry Lab includes members such as Martina Heinelt (clinical metrics development) and Stefania Spano (transgenic mouse models). Collaborations with Drs. Gregory Borschel and Tessa Gordon highlight interdisciplinary research efforts.
