Our working group addresses various research questions relating to patients with chronic wounds. We are trying to find solutions through cooperation with medical informatics specialists to give patients with long-term wounds early access to adequate diagnostics and care. Together with other wound centres, we are working on establishing a national wound registry. In clinical care, we investigate innovative pharmaceutical and technical treatment options for various types of wounds.

Research projects

  • Development and evaluation of innovative digital methods and AI-supported systems for the sustainable improvement of the diagnosis and treatment of chronic wounds
  • Medical education for wound management – new didactic concepts for health care professionals

  • A100: Soluble CD83-induced pro-resolving macrophages strongly improve and accelerate wound healing processes

    New medications for the treatment of chronic wounds are urgently needed. Our preliminary data show that sCD83 accelerated wound healing processes in a systemic as well as a topical treatment. Cellular analyses revealed the increase of pro-resolving macrophages, known to improve wound healing processes. These striking regenerative capacities make scD83 a promising candidate to treat chronic- and hard-to-heal wounds. Within the current project we aim to elucidate the underlying mechanisms.
