About Presenter

Materials engineering student contributing to the project in a technical capacity. My previous experience includes working with ceramics, polymers, and nanoparticles, focusing on their synthesis and in vitro testing. Throughout my career, I has participated in both student-led and government-funded projects.

Title of presentation
Next-generation bioactive composite for 3D-printed bone reconstruction
Focus Areas

Next-Gen Therapies: From Lab to Life

Objective: See how biotech, AI and digital health are accelerating the future of medicine.

Introduction: the Problem

This work addresses the need for advanced implant materials that can support effective bone regeneration and integration with host tissue. While traditional ceramics are bioactive but brittle, polymers offer stability and processability without bioactivity. The planned approach is to combine the two to create a hybrid ceramic–polymer composite that combines structural durability with biological functionality. The main objective is to develop a biomimetic 3D-printing granulate that can be used to fabricate personalised implants with controlled porosity and architecture that resembles natural bone. Key activities include formulating the material, optimising its mechanical and biological properties, and adapting it for additive manufacturing. The concept is currently at the material design and functional development stage. The ultimate goal is to create an implant material that replaces missing bone and actively supports regeneration, thereby offering improved performance and patient outcomes.

Collaboration Offer

We are looking for collaborative partners from: research institutions, clinical organizations, industry.

We strongly believe that working together we can make a real difference, we improve patient health and set new standards for biomaterials in regenerative medicine.
