Project description
Growing bones with a synthetic bone graft
Large bone defects are not easy to treat. Defects in the upper limb, which may be caused by trauma, tumour or infection, are particularly difficult. Funded by the European Innovation Council (EIC), the GreenBone project will develop a new acellular synthetic bone graft. By mimicking the chemical composition and 3D pore structure of natural human bone, GreenBone will provide an optimum microenvironment capable of driving inductive bone performance and de novo bone mineralisation response at the ectopic site. With the EIC Accelerator Grant, the project will introduce the first technologically advanced spinal implant. It combines the needed mechanical strength with enhanced regenerative capacity.
Objective
Regeneration of large bone defects is an unmet medical need with a high socio-economic burden, affecting millions of people worldwide. To overcome the limitations of existing solutions for bone replacement, we developed GreenBone, our pioneering acellular synthetic bone graft obtained from proprietary biomorphic transformation process of Rattan wood. By mimicking the chemical composition and 3D pore structure of natural human bone, we are able to provide an optimum microenvironment capable of driving inductive bone performance and de-novo bone mineralisation response at the ectopic site.
With the EIC accelerator grant first, we aim to disrupt the bone graft market by introducing the first technologically advanced spinal implant that combines the needed mechanical strength with enhanced regenerative capacity. We aim to bring our product to the spinal market segment in 2025, reaching 10% market share in 2030 and growing our company team to more than 40 skilled professionals.
