    About This Project

    Some tropical geckos lose their skin as well as their tails as a defense mechanism - yet despite living in the rain forest where even a small cut on a human can lead to severe infection, they heal fine.

    How exactly do these geckos resist infection? Is it something their skin secretes, and can we replicate these compounds to help people?

    Let's find out!
