Composite biomaterials for cartilage repair [ 2012 - 2014 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Nasim Annabi (Principal investigator)

Brief description There is an urgent need for engineered tissue repair and replacement components for cartilage implantation in damaged joints due to a shortage of donor tissue. This project will generate smart composite biomaterials with enhanced mechanical strength and physical properties that are desirable for cartilage repair. The fabricated scaffolds will mimic the microstructure of native cartilage and are next-generation biomaterials designed to facilitate cartilage regeneration.
