Functional nano-cement scaffolds for the treatment of osteoporotic bone defects [ 2018 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Chun Xu (Principal investigator)

Brief description Osteoporosis affects 1.2 million Australians and will cost $33.6 billion by 2022. This study aims to develop a novel nano-cement platform for custom-designed bone repair in osteoporosis, by using purpose-designed nanomaterials and advanced 3D printing technique. The research findings will lead to the development of a new bone repair strategy, expand knowledge on both biomaterials engineering and osteoporosis treatment, and improve the quality of life of Australians.
