Funded Activity Summary

Burns injuries are among the most physically and psychologically debilitating injuries. Patients who suffer from severe, extensive burn injuries can have a shortage of healthy, undamaged donor sites and so skin substitutes are used as alternatives to provide wound healing. However, the newly produced skin does not appear or function normally. The aim of this project is to develop a skin equivalent which will provide rapid regeneration of normal skin and improve a patient’s quality of life.
