Another Perspective: For Chronic Wound Sufferers, the Forecast is Perhaps not so Grim
Rose Ann DiMaria-Ghalili, PhD, an associate professor in the College of Nursing and Health Professions; Peter A. Lewin, PhD, the Richard B. Beard Distinguished University Professor in the School of Biomedical Engineering, Science and Health Systems; and Michael S. Weingarten, MD, a professor in the College of Medicine, authored an Aug. 4 opinion piece for The Philadelphia Inquirer about the wound healing technology they are developing at Drexel, and the importance in safeguarding against public cynicism about these efforts.
New Hope for Healing Chronic Wounds
Michael S. Weingarten, MD, a professor in the College of Medicine and medical director of the Comprehensive Wound Healing Program, and Rose Ann DiMaria-Ghalili, PhD, an associate professor in the College of Nursing and Health Professions, were interviewed in a Jan. 18 WTXF-TV (FOX-29) segment about an ultrasound device they are developing to speed the process of healing chronic wounds. The project is also led by researchers in the School of Biomedical Engineering, Science and Health Systems.
Healing Wounds With Ultrasound
Drexel researchers have received a $3 million NIH grant to test a new treatment for the millions of patients who suffer from slow-healing, chronic wounds.
