Chronic Wound Healing and Woundbed-Biofilm Interactions in Silico

Chronic wound healing is very seriously hampered by a profound lack of basic understanding of the influence of bacteria and bacterial biofilms on the process. Treatment could greatly benefit from a longitudinal 3D assessment of spatial and biochemical properties of woundbed and fluid using molecular techniques. Inexpensive biosensor monitoring of a range of wound parameters and tissue cellular interactions would be beneficial, specially the profiling and early detection of multi-drug resistant organisms (MDROs).
