Within SkinTERM, 12 early-stage researchers work on their PhD thesis in eight organizations, both companies and academic institutions.

The project seeks to transform the traditional process of skin repair into true regeneration by training highly skilled, multidisciplinary scientists capable of advancing this research field. It aims to approach wound healing from a novel perspective, focusing on regeneration instead of mere repair.

The biomaterials are made to temporarily aid the patient’s healing process.
