Dear Colleague.

“Measurements in wound healing – the conduit between the laboratory and
the clinic”

The annual meeting of the ETRS is a “rialto” where basic scientists meet
clinicians to exchange successes and difficulties both in the laboratory and the
clinic. This is a constant cycle to promote wound healing.
 
In the last few years there have been lessons learnt and discoveries made which
include the difficulties of getting successful bench developments into practice, the
increasing clinical burden imposed by wounds and advances in tissue engineering
concepts, nanotechnologies and so on.
 
How to harness these energies to the benefit our patient population?
 
The ETRS 2007 in Southampton will offer a platform to basic scientists/clinician
scientists as well as health technologists who engage in the difficult translation of
science into practice. There will be plenary lectures and scientific papers (oral and posters)

where new, exciting discoveries will be communicated for energetic discussion and debate.

The Young Investigator Awards (YIA) sessions will be a highlight of our meeting.

We expect our colleagues from Industry to be there in strength giving us the benefit of their

innovations as well as developments of existing devices.

Obviously a meeting of this complexity requires a large amount of organisation.

As a result this website will be in a constant state of continued development.

Please revisit on a regular basis to find out more about our exciting plans.
