Strategic objectives
- Development, analysis and preclinical validation of new prosthetic materials for hernia repair and state-of-the-art fixation methods.
- Study of skin healing and preclinical assessment of the effect of different treatments on the evolution of skin lesions.
- Design and validation of therapeutic and preventive strategies for the optimisation of the use of antimicrobials in the treatment of prosthetic and skin infections.
- Generation of knowledge and clinical translation, within our lines of research, through the development of public-private projects-contracts.
- Establishment of synergies with national and international groups in the mechanisms of soft tissue injury-repair, to promote collaboration and the exchange of knowledge and experience.
Research lines
-
Injury-repair of abdominal wall defects with prosthetic materials, in the presence or absence of bacterial infection.
-
Skin healing in models of normal and compromised tissue repair, and application of treatments to improve wound closure.
