The Griffin Institute was incredibly busy last week with surgical training courses held every day. The building was buzzing with energy, and the atmosphere was fantastic. A huge thank you to our incredible training team for their hard work in making the week a success.

World Diabetes Day: 🧬 We have recently developed a novel 3D human disease model that mimics the pathophysiology of diabetic wounds. This allows researchers to study diabetic wound healing in a clinically relevant environment, accelerating the discovery of new treatments.

The Griffin Institute is very proud of our Gynaecological Research Fellow, Freweini Tesfai, on the publication of her paper on 'Methods of Surgical Quality Assurance in Cervical and Endometrial Cancer Trials: a systematic review and Meta-analysis'

Our Microsurgery Training Courses are now being sponsored by the renowned surgical supply company, Mercian Surgical. Thank you for giving our trainees the opportunity to learn microsurgery skills using state-of-the-art equipment.
