Abstracts from a joint meeting between Medstar Georgetown Diabetic Limb Salvage and the Wound Healing Foundation conference, 10–12th April 2025, Washington DC, USA

The Medstar Georgetown Diabetic Limb Salvage and the Wound Healing Foundation, both nonprofit organizations, recently held their 2025 meeting on the diabetic foot and healing chronic wounds in Washington D.C., USA. These groups chose the International Wound Journal to feature their submitted abstracts to highlight the excellent research ongoing in this important clinical area. If you wish to contact any of the authors to discuss their research, please contact us and we can connect you.

The top ten abstract authors, denoted below, were given podium presentations during the meeting in honor of Greg Schultz, PhD. At the time of his passing, Dr. Schultz was the Award Chair and a Board of Director of the Wound Healing Foundation and a Course Director for the joint meeting. Dr. Schultz was a consistent champion for quality clinical and bench science focused on improving wound healing. Presenting the best science in Dr Schultz's honor at the conference seemed like a natural extension to his legacy.

Editorial Note: We recognize the valued contribution of Professor Greg Schultz and his connection with the IWJ. We are pleased to be able to continue honoring his legacy in wound healing.
