Incredible Things That Were Invented by Women

IN THE EARLY 1990S, DR. FIONA WOOD REVOLUTIONIZED MEDICAL TREATMENT FOR BURN VICTIMS WHEN SHE CREATED SPRAY-ON SKIN.

In 1993, Dr. Wood began working with medical scientist Marie Stoner on a method to grow skin tissue directly on patients instead of in a culture flask.

The duo launched ReCell, “a spray-on solution of skin cells” two years later. In 2002, ReCell gained international attention after Dr. Wood used it to treat severely burned victims of the 2002 terrorist attack in Bali, Indonesia.
