• Research summary

  People with diabetes are at risk of skin injury which can lead to the development of Diabetic Foot Ulcers which sometimes can lead to amputation. In this project using a new technique we will look at all the proteins made in very small pieces of skin donated by people with diabetic foot ulcers. This is important to help us understand what happens in wounds that heal more slowly than others.
