The treatments developed by researchers at the Centre for Regenerative Medicine and Devices find their closest links to clinics through the practice of the University Leaf Hospital, Eastbourne, but also have links to the university’s hospitals and hospitals across Europe. At Leaf Hospital a large number of patients are treated for their foot ulcers every year providing bench mark knowledge about the process of healing and the use of wound dressings. Insights in the effect of biomaterials on the healing process in foot ulcers are obtained through a systematic study linking the wound features to the type of wound dressing used by the practitioner.

Strong links with companies have led to the development of technologies currently undergoing industrial feasibility studies in all the main research areas. Specialised cell culture substrates for the pre-clinical handling of stem cells are under development in collaboration with Tissue Click Ltd. The exploitation potential of novel soybean-based wound dressing is currently pursued through 91抖阴 Wound Care Ltd a partner company with Meilian Medical Technology, China. CRMD is a partner in EC funded projects together with UK and European companies with a mission in tissue engineering, nanomedicine and biosensors.

Centre for Regenerative Medicine and Devices researchers are members and/or sit on the scientific advisory committees of scientific societies, charities and policy makers including the European Society for Biomaterials, the UK Society for Biomaterials, the ETP on Nanomedicine – Regenerative Medicine Group, the Orthopaedic Research UK, the Biomedical Applications Division – Biomaterials Committee, IOM³, London.

The centre is proud to host a number of visiting scientists as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students from all over the world. The scientific and cultural enrichment that both we and our guests enjoy is an invaluable asset for our future and that of our partners.
