HEAL4WARD has been recruiting 11 Doctoral Candidates (DCs) within a Marie Sk\u0142odowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Network focused on advanced care and rapid diagnosis for wound infections. The programme trains early-stage researchers to develop next-generation solutions combining nanomaterials, antimicrobial strategies, 3D printing, advanced sensing (including SERS) and AI-based prediction models for personalised infection management.
