Dr. Marco Pellon is a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon by the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery. He has been dedicated to the study of cellular and molecular biology since 2008, and is the creator of the Salamandra Project, for Human Regeneration.
Speaker Biography
Dr. Pellon is a profound scholar of metabolic behavior and intercellular communication in adipose tissue and its application in Regenerative Medicine, having become the link between bench research and clinical practice, introducing new concepts and new approaches in this area. His relentless pursuit of epimorphic regeneration of lesions, wounds and burns, with recovery of function, aesthetics and identity of patients, led him to found a line of research in human self-regeneration called the Salamandra Project
Credentials and Affiliations
Dr. Pellon is board certified by the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP) and is currently the director of the Society’s Regenerative Medicine Chapter. He is an affiliated member of the Federación Iberolatinoamericana de Cirurgia Plástica (FILACP), where he served as Director of the Burns Chapter for the 2022/2024 biennium. He is also a member of the International Federation for Adipose Therapeutics and Science (IFATS), where he presented the first citation (2011) of the role of exosomes in wound regeneration. He is also a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
Expertise and Recognition
Invited lecture at conferences and courses in several countries around the world, to present his work, discoveries and new concepts in the area of regeneration through cell therapy, and presentation of the Salamandra Project.
He developed his own techniques for manipulating and processing fat for application in complex lesions, breaking paradigms and obtaining results that are recognized as unprecedented in his clinical practice.
Commitment to Excellence
Dr. Pellon dedicates much of his time to studying and teaching the behavior of the cellular niche and advanced concepts such as the human bioelectric field and the behavior of subcellular and subatomic particles in intercellular communication. His research aims to achieve the goal of inducing the self-regeneration of a limb or organ by restoring the transdifferentiation capacity of human cells that was blocked after the embryonic phase. This technology will have a major impact on the areas of regenerative medicine, microsurgery, and organ transplantation.
