Wound Healing
Main content start
Description
We are investigating the use of collagen hydrogels as wound dressings to expedite wound healing. Collagen hydrogels have been shown to maintain a moist environment, provide a three-dimensional scaffold for cell migration, and decrease demands on the body by providing critical cells and cell attractants required for wound healing. Previously, our lab has shown that hydrogels can not only be used to expedite wound healing but also be a vehicle for topical antibiotic release to treat and eradicate Pseudomonas Aurginosa biofilms in chronic wounds. We are currently expanding on this work in in vitro and in vivo models.
