European Training Network to develop Improved Bioresorbable Materials for Orthopaedic and Vascular Implant Applications

Project description

Novel implant materials

There is a growing need for soft and hard tissue medical implants to treat orthopaedic and vascular conditions. Resorbable materials that can gradually degrade following implantation offer a very attractive option as they avoid compatibility issues and also limit the need for repeat surgeries. To address this demand, the EU-funded BioImplant ITN project will train young researchers in technical, interdisciplinary and transferrable skills. The vision is to offer them the ability to carry out research and develop new hybrid materials with improved mechanical properties and controllable degradation behaviour. Partners envision a high commercial interest in these innovative materials for medical implant applications.
