Steven Wolf

Steven Wolf is Professor and Vice Chair of Finance in the Department of Surgery at UTMB Health. His research focuses on burn trauma management, wound healing optimization, and outcomes in thermally injured patients. Current NIH-funded projects investigate anabolic steroid therapies for muscle recovery and microbiome analysis of burn wounds.

Research domains include:

• Metabolic interventions for severe burns
• Psychosocial outcomes in genital burns
• Heterotopic ossification pathophysiology
• Comorbidity impacts on burn mortality

His publications emphasize translational approaches to burn rehabilitation, with clinical studies spanning estrogen therapy in postmenopausal patients and genomic analysis of wound microbiome. Collaborative projects include DOD-funded plasma resuscitation trials and NSF-supported telemedicine applications for burn care.
