Funded Activity Summary

The demand for synthetic biomaterials to repair lost or diseased bone is rapidly growing and placing a major burden on national health budgets. But the synthetic scaffolds currently in use are far from optimal. My aim is to determine the underlying mechanisms by which synthetic biomaterials promote bone regeneration, in order to develop better scaffolds. This would improve health outcomes for recipients of bone graft substitutes as well as reduce individual and national healthcare costs.
