The Blond McIndoe Research Foundation is an independent medical
research centre specialising in innovative research into skin wound
repair. The Foundation seeks to play an essential role in translating
practical research into results that advance patient care generally
with particular emphasis on the treatment of burns.
The Blond McIndoe Research Foundation has been at the forefront of
wound repair research for over 40 years. Our special relationship with
surgeons in the Burns Unit at Queen Victoria Hospital in West Sussex
and other clinical centres allows direct translation of research to
the clinic. In recent years a GMP suite has been established at the
Centre which allows us to culture skin cells for application onto burns
patients with large surface area full thickness burns.
In addition to this clinical research the Blond McIndoe Research Foundation
has a long history of innovative scientific research. Our primary objective
is to improve clinical care, particularly, but not exclusively, in burns
patients. Research at the centre primarily focuses on the processes
involved in wound repair and the development of novel techniques and
materials to improve wound healing. By furthering our understanding
of these processes we can improve the quality of treatment which patients
receive. Ultimately such improvements will reduce the degree of scarring
in burns patients and reduce the number of those who die as a result
of their injuries.
The Foundation relies entirely on charitable giving
to continue its life-changing work. Contribute
