What if you could heal a wound without a scar, or increase quality-of-life for a burns patient facing scars for life?
That’s exactly what Entrepreneurial PhD Scholar Michaela George is researching, in collaboration with UQ AIBN Industry Partner Dr Jason Brown from the Herston Biofabrications Institute (HBI).
Dr Brown, who leads the HBI Burns, Skin and Wounds Clinical Program, said innovation such as this could have a number of positive effects for burns and wound patients.
“In burns surgery, one of our biggest problems is scar formation,” Dr Brown said.
