Engineering living photosynthetic algal-based wound dressing for diabetic foot ulcers
Supervisor: Dr. Lindsay Fitzpatrick
This project aims to create an innovative, sustainable wound care solution using living microalgae and algae-derived materials. These microalgae will harness photosynthesis to supply oxygen and will be engineered to produce immunomodulatory compounds, facilitating the resolution of chronic inflammation and promoting wound closure.
