Wound and tissue restoration
Overview
The research activity ranges from basic studies on pathogenesis, the molecular mechanisms underpinning these, through to targeted molecular, biochemical and cellular manipulation of cells and tissue to enable repair and regeneration. This has led to the generation of new devices and therapies, as well as prognostic and diagnostic tools to monitor tissue damage and repair.
TRR researchers pursue interdisciplinary research, believing that innovative solutions are found at the interface between disciplines. Researchers have highly productive linkages with mathematical modellers, bio-informaticians, bio-engineers, biomaterials scientists, health economics experts, nurses and clinical specialists, and with biotechnology companies and health care service providers. These linkages have spanned the globe and involve industry partners, universities, hospitals and international research institutes.
