Our Centers

Participating centers are University of Michigan at Ann Arbor; University of California, San Francisco; Stanford University, Palo Alto California; University of Miami Miller School of Medicine; University of Pittsburgh; Indiana University, Indianapolis; and University of Arizona. The University of Michigan also serves as the data coordinating center for the study. Biomarker analysis will be conducted by the Indiana University and the University of Miami.

The six clinical research 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 two 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.
