Smart composite scaffolds for bone repair
Millions of people suffer bone loss each year through cancer excisions, traumatic accidents and congenital birth defectsThis project will develop advanced bioactive composite scaffolds to heal bone defects using a technology terms melt electrowriting. You will use a special kind of 3D printing to create scaffolds that stimulate bone cells (osteoblasts) to create new bone and will optimise the formulation, size, shape and culture conditions for the scaffolds.

Regenerating bone following osteosarcoma tumour resection in a post-chemotherapy treated bone defect
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary bone cancer in children and adolescents. Standard treatment involves surgical resection of the tumour combined with systemic chemotherapy. While most patients undergo limb-sparing surgery to avoid amputation, this often results in significant morbidity and lifelong complications. These complications stem from the creation of large bone defects, poor healing outcomes, the need for revision surgeries, and long-term prosthetic failureThere is a critical clinical need for regenerative strategies that restore bone integrity and function following …
