Funded Activity Summary
Material structure and properties of mineralised tissue: An integrated micro and nano level investigation. Bone material properties have a direct influence on disorders of the skeleton, such as osteoporotic bone fragility fractures and osteoarthritis. It has been estimated that the direct and indirect cost of all fragility fractures and arthritis is over $20 billion per annum. The impact of this will be far-reaching with the social benefits ranging from earlier and more accurate diagnoses, to the development of preventative strategies to delay the onset of musculoskeletal disorders. These developments will translate into exciting commercial opportunities and overall economic growth and sustainability.Funded Activity Details
