Margaret A. Liu, MD, DSchc, MDhc, FISV

Details

This talk will cover two aspects of SARS-CoV-2 infection: 1) vaccines for prevention of COVID-19 in development including specific issues for inducing immunity in patients with diagnoses relevant to the chronic wounds, as well as the rationale for different technologies, their possible limitations, and even potential risks; and 2) examination of some aspects of COVID-19 clinical presentations and pathophysiology that may be particularly important for patients whose underlying conditions have led to their chronic wounds.
WHS WOUND SHARK INNOVATION COMPETITION

12:20 PM - 1:20 PM

Vickie Driver, DPM; Mitchell Sanders, PhD

Details

Following a brief introduction of the program, the competition will focus on two areas of wound research.
