Strategic objectives
- Design of new prosthetic materials aimed to reduce the bacterial load in abdominal wall lesion repair models, in the presence of an infection.
- Evaluation of new prosthetic material attachment methods.
- Evaluation of the intraperitoneal behaviour of the lastest generation prosthetic designs.
Research lines
-
Injury-repair of abdominal wall defects with prosthetic materials, in the presence or absence of bacterial infection.
-
Skin healing in models of normal and compromised tissue repair, and application of treatments to improve wound closure.
-
Development, analysis and preclinical validation of new prosthetic materials for hernia repair and state-of-the-art fixation methods.
-
Study of skin healing and preclinical assessment of the effect of different treatments on the evolution of skin lesions.
-
Design and validation of therapeutic and preventive strategies for the optimisation of the use of antimicrobials in the treatment of prosthetic and skin infections.
-
Generation of knowledge and clinical translation, within our lines of research, through the development of public-private projects-contracts.
-
Establishment of synergies with national and international groups in the mechanisms of soft tissue injury-repair, to promote collaboration and the exchange of knowledge and experience.
