Novel strategy for the treatment of large bone defects using a unique biomaterial with tailored microstructure [ 2016 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Seyediman Roohaniesfahani (Principal investigator)

Brief description There is a rapidly increasing and pressing medical need for the development of synthetic implants that can regenerate large amounts of lost or diseased bone. This project will produce a unique implant with optimal mechanical and biological performance, which represents a viable alternative to bone grafting with broad applications for the repair of large or challenging bone defects. Such an achievement will produce significant healthcare benefits and improved long-term outcomes.
