Dr Martin, Senior Lecturer Pharmaceutics at the University, said: "It is a pleasure to be chairing this conference, which will look into a real mixture of advances in wound management such as the use of silk and plant materials.

"The conference is aimed at scientists, pharmacists, academics, industry specialists and regulators and there will also be speakers with expertise in front line wound management."
