  Effect of microstructure in the mechanical response of cost-effective biomimetic constructs for rapid wound healing
University of Leicester Department of Engineering
  Dr A Tsamis, Prof J Pan
Application Deadline: 21 January 2019
A chronic wound is a wound that has failed to proceed through an orderly and timely process to produce anatomic and functional integrity or a wound that has proceeded through the repair process without establishing a sustained anatomic and functional result.

  Parallels between wound healing and cancer – role of epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT)
University of Bradford Faculty of Life Sciences
  Research Group: Centre for Skin Sciences
  Dr M J Thornton, Prof A M Graham
Applications accepted all year round
Wound healing and cancer metastasis share common early signalling pathways that have led to the hypothesis that tumours are “wounds that do not heal”, a phrase first coined by Virchow in the 19th century.

  Patient-reported healing outcomes for venous leg ulcers
University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health
  Prof N Cullum, Dr J Dumville
Applications accepted all year round
Venous leg ulcers are a common, chronic and debilitating condition. For patients these open wounds, caused by venous hypertension, are painful, at risk of infection and limit health-related quality of life.

  Chronic Wounds and Infection - impact on diabetic patients
University of Bradford Faculty of Life Sciences
  Research Group: Centre for Skin Sciences
  Dr M J Thornton, Dr J N Fletcher
Applications accepted all year round
Non-healing chronic wounds present a significant clinical challenge. In Europe, the cost of wound management accounts for 2%–4% of the health care budget and the complications associated with impaired wound healing can have a significant, long-term effect on the morbidity, mortality, and quality of life for patients.
