Biography
My current post as an academic has enabled me to identify projects and opportunities in the field of diabetic foot research. This has been carried out over the past number of years where I have been able to supervise PhD students in this area. Novel complex scientific research has been carried out into detailed laboratory analysis of wound fluid of diabetic foot ulcers. The findings of this work have generated much interest. There have been some interesting dissemination of findings of our studies.
