Periodic Reporting for period 1 - InjectCHA (Local delivery of PTH(1-34) from an injectable collagen-hydroxyapatite scaffold for non-invasive treatment of bisphosphonate associated atypical femoral fractures)
Période du rapport: 2016-05-01 au 2018-04-30
The work completed as a Marie Skłowdowska Curie fellow has, to date, resulted in 3 conference talks, 2 poster presentations at conferences and 4 invited talks to date; 2 papers in preparation.

After the end of the project, work in my lab will continue on this device, which we hope will demonstrate the ability to locally deliver bone cell manipulating therapeutics within a minimally invasive regenerative biomaterial. Ultimately, the aim of this medical device is to promote bone repair in metabolically challenged defects in osteoporotic patients. This treatment strategy is less invasive, more effective, and lower in cost with major socioeconomic benefits to patients’ quality of life. In addition, the health care system will also benefit in terms of patient load, cost, and reduced reimbursements by insurers.
