Researchers at the Wrocław University of Science and Technology are working on a technology for producing multi-functional composite material for bone tissue reconstruction. The project is financed by the National Center for Research and Development as part of the Techmatstrateg 2 competition.

The idea of the project is to create a bone implant that will be biologically active. It is to help patients with bone defects caused by e.g. osteoporosis, cancer or injury. The material is to be biodegradable and bioresorbable – it will decompose in the human or animal body in such a way that no toxic compounds are formed. It will not cause inflammation and will be absorbed by the body.

The researchers from the Wrocław University of Science and Technology participate in an interdisciplinary project supervised by the Institute of Ceramics and Building Materials from Warsaw. The consortium also includes the University of Gdańsk, the Institute of Biotechnology and Molecular Medicine and their business partner – SensDx.
