Harnessing Spatial Transcriptomics & AI-Driven Digital Pathology to Elucidate Immune & Regenerative Mechanisms in Diabetic Ulcers

• Mapped cell populations and transcriptional programs driving inflammation, fibrosis, and poor healing in diabetic foot ulcers using single-cell and spatial transcriptomics
• Integrated molecular data with AI-driven digital pathology to identify patients at high risk for impaired wound repair
• Uncovered immune-stromal interactions through combined molecular and computational analysis, accelerating biomarker discovery and guiding precision interventions
