Funded Activity Summary
Graded Biomaterial for Articular Cartilage Replacement. Osteoarthritis is a major health and economical burden on the Australian community which can be addressed in part by providing a viable option for effective clinical treatment. 34% of people over the age of 50 suffer from osteoarthritis, predominantly the knee. The development of a biomaterial to enable repair of articular cartilage through minor surgical procedures will release resources at point of care. Current biomaterial options are still in infancy and an Australian based product would benefit the Australian economy as well as Australia's international standing within the biomaterials community.Funded Activity Details
