This research demonstrates how combining business management and epidemiology can improve hospital infection prevention. Through behavioral interventions, organizational audits, and patient engagement, three initiatives increased hand hygiene compliance by 15%. The work highlights the importance of interdisciplinary thinking, organizational culture, and accountability in creating safer healthcare environments.

This research investigates how bacterial biofilms alter the mechanical properties of infected skin to improve microneedle-based drug delivery. By measuring tissue stiffness, structural integrity, and puncture resistance, it provides the evidence needed to design microneedles that can effectively penetrate biofilms, deliver antibiotics directly, and improve treatment of chronic wound infections.

This research develops antibacterial nanostructured surfaces inspired by natural materials such as cicada wings. The engineered surfaces physically rupture bacteria using nanoscale needle-like structures, avoiding traditional antibiotics and reducing the likelihood of antibiotic resistance. The technology could improve infection control in medical devices, implants, and hospital environments.

Despite major advances in medicine, wound care has changed little in a century. This research explores how natural electrical signals in injured skin guide healing. By developing devices that mimic these signals, scientists aim to accelerate recovery and improve treatment for chronic wounds through bioelectric control of cellular behaviour.
