Biomedical Engineering Undergraduate Honors Theses
Chronic skin wounds pose a significant threat to public health, affecting as many as 5.5 million people in the United States every year and costing the healthcare system $10 billion annually1,2. These wounds are associated with prolonged inflammation, poor vascularization, increased infection risk, and high mortality rates3,4. There is significant interest in developing and testing a variety of biologics to promote wound healing. However, quantitative evaluations of healing are typically limited to measurements of wound size, and there is a critical need to develop quantitative biomarkers sensitive to different aspects of the healing process.
