Strategic objectives

• Development, analysis, and preclinical validation of novel prosthetic materials for hernia repair and next-generation fixation methods.
• Study of skin healing and preclinical evaluation of the effect of various treatments on the evolution of skin lesions.
• Design and validation of therapeutic and preventive strategies for optimizing the use of antimicrobials in the treatment of prosthetic and skin infections.
• Knowledge generation and clinical translation within our research areas through the development of public-private projects and contracts.
• Establishment of synergies with national and international groups in the mechanisms of soft tissue injury and repair to promote collaboration and the exchange of knowledge and experience.

Research lines

• Abdominal wall defect repair using prosthetic materials, with or without bacterial infection.
• Skin healing in models of normal and compromised tissue repair, and application of treatments to improve wound closure.
