Sensors for Monitoring Wound Healing
The project seeks to develop and characterise a new class of sensor system that can enable the in situ monitoring of wound healing. The aim is to provide the clinician with information on a range of biophysical parameters on the healing processes associated with chronic wounds or ulcerated tissue such that more meaningful interventions can be made to enhance the recovery process. This is a multicentre-multi discipline project involving collaboration with clinicians and materials scientists. The aim is to provide the successful candidate with an excellent grounding on the latest materials science and nanotechnology techniques needed for the production of miniaturised/implantable sensors
