Description

The National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) seeks to stimulate research that will increase the understanding of the genomic mechanisms associated with development and repair of chronic wounds (wounds that have not proceeded through a reparative process in three months), and to develop and test genomic-based interventions aimed at preventing chronic wounds and/or expediting the healing process. It is anticipated that the findings from this research will expand the body of knowledge needed to identify individuals at the highest risk for developing chronic wounds and to inform the search for customized therapeutics and interventions tailored to an individuals genomic profile.
