Award for research on 3D printed calcium phosphate scaffolds enhanced with natural medicinal compounds to improve synthetic bone grafts for dental and orthopedic use.
Description
The project focuses on using natural medicinal compounds to enhance bioactivity of synthetic bone grafts, specifically calcium phosphate scaffolds. The research aims to develop GF-free synthetic bone grafts that promote osteogenesis and angiogenesis. The project involves in vitro and in vivo studies, including understanding dose, release kinetics, and mechanisms of bone cell-material interactions. The long-term goal is to create patient-matched, clinically relevant scaffolds for dental and orthopedic applications.
