Our Centers

Participating centers are University of Michigan, University of California - San Francisco, University of Pittsburgh and University of Arizona. There are three satellite sites University of Southern California, Beth Isarel Deaconess Medical Center and Northwell Health. The University of Michigan also serves as the data coordinating center for the study and the Biomarker Analysis Unit (BAU).

The 4 clinical research sites and additional satellites sites will recruit participants who are undergoing foot ulcer treatment or follow-up care. Each biomarker will be tested in its own study within the larger network. Researchers will collect various measurements, biological samples, and other data over 5 years. In addition, the DFC will build a roadmap and framework that will provide an opportunity for researchers to follow up interesting leads or pursue new studies.
