Joined Education for Tissue Engineering: a multidisciplinary approach to regenerate joints

Cel

Joint deficiencies and diseases are a common cause for disability, often with extreme pain, reduction of joint mobility and loss of function, affecting many EU citizens and resulting in tremendous costs. Very few existing surgically based protocols to treat osteochondral defects have yielded satisfactory clinical and functional results.

JOIN(ed)T is composed of a consortium of 9 leading European institutes all with complementary expertise and resources on Tissue Engineering and Total Joint Repair. 3 interdisciplinary/-related research areas are defined: scaffold surface and architecture; biology and biotechnology of stem and progenitor cells; tissue development. The training project has a multidisciplinary approach, aiming to develop new knowledge on joint repair strategies and to contribute to the development of a treatment for degenerative bone and cartilage diseases, like osteo-arthritis. 9 early stage research fellows will be recruited and will be trained in the mentioned research areas thereby contributing to the development of a new generation of multidisciplinary researchers, fully able to work within the field of TE and prepared with necessary and state-of-the-art tools to become leaders in the field of regenerative medicine for joint repair.

The proposed training includes: various joint activities mandatory for all fellows (e.g. introduction courses, master classes, TATE workshop, ESB conference); individual training modules; complementary training (e.g. Quality, Bioethics, Scientific English communication); visits to industrial network partners. All fellows are expected to obtain their PhD degrees after completion of the project. Innovative aspects of this project include the use of bioreactors to optimize cell culturing; the use and application of nano and micro-scale tools, to produce scaffolds, co-culturing systems, proteomics and genomics applied to adult stem cells to understand their differentiation mechanisms.
