Barbara A. Delmore, PhD

Since I became a board-certified wound care nurse in 2008, my program of research has been focused on chronic wounds. As the Senior Nurse Scientist (Departments of Nursing) and a Clinical Assistant Professor (NYU Grossman School of Medicine), I am in an integral situation to take the lead in a chronic wound program of research. From my experience in caring for all age populations with various conditions, I understand the critical need to study risk factors that can influence wound prevention strategies and therapeutic interventions. My previous research has identified risk factors for heel pressure injuries and acute skin failure in hospitalized patients. I have authored and contributed to numerous publications and podium presentations on the topic of wounds. I have been sought as a key opinion leader serving on several advisory boards. I am a board of director for the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP) and a member of the Editorial Advisory Board for the journal Advances in Skin and Wound Care. I was awarded the Master status in 2016 by the American Professional Wound Care Organization (APWCA). In October 2020, I was inducted as a Fellow into the American Academy of Nursing.
