Funded Activity Summary

Engineering the next generation of scaffolds. Engineering the next generation of scaffolds. This project aims to develop high efficiency quantum dots based on carbon nanomaterials, integrated with scaffolds and viable tissue cells, which can be used to develop smart implants with monitoring capabilities to reduce patient trauma and expenses. In certain cases, more than 50% of medical implants fail. Improving effective intervention is urgently needed, particularly monitoring of implants and early diagnosis to prevent rejections and adverse reactions. Current methods are inefficient, expensive, and induce toxicity. A non-toxic and non-invasive method to monitor the progress of tissue regeneration and wound healing is expected to place Australia at the forefront of developing implants.
