Immune Mechanisms Project

Research Question: What role does the immune system playin wound healing?
Significance Aims
  • Chronic wounds are more common in patients with autoimmune diseases
  • Some wounds are stagnated in the inflammatory phase
  • Understanding the immune response in wound healing may help identify new treatments for chronic wounds
  • Establish mRNA and protein expression profiles in chronic wounds
  • Generate a set of defined markers which are predictive of wound outcome
  • Identify altered pathways for potential treatments in chronic wounds
