Prof. Bencherif receives KAU Grant

In collaboration with Prof. Adnan Memic et al. at King Abdulaziz University, Prof. Bencherif recently received the King Abdulaziz City of Science and Technology Award for a project entitled “Biomaterials for Wound Healing and Diabetic Ulcer Treatment”.

The main objective of this international research partnership is to engineer novel, bioactive dermal cryogel-based scaffolds with integrated advanced features to emulate more closely the natural tissue microenvironment, and ultimately promote wound healing in diabetic patients.
