Research Collaborations
Collaborative research in diabetic foot, wound healing and limb salvage.
EDFC Academy partners with clinicians, institutions and trainees on diabetic foot, wound healing and limb-salvage research in India. Collaborations include clinical studies, audits and case series that advance diabetic foot and wound care, drawing on the clinics' substantial caseload.
What do research collaborations involve?
Research collaborations bring together EDFC's clinical experience and external partners to study diabetic foot disease, wound healing and limb salvage. Projects range from clinical audits and case series to collaborative studies.
Research is overseen by Dr. Ashutosh Shah (M.S., M.Ch.) and the EDFC team, with the clinics' caseload in Surat and Vizianagaram providing a valuable basis for real-world study.
Collaboration suits clinicians, postgraduate trainees and institutions looking to contribute to the evidence base in diabetic foot care.
