Development of an injectable bioactive glass incorporated calcium phosphate cement with improved handling, physicochemical and biological properties

 

Betreuer: Dr. Liliana Liverani, Prof. Aldo R. Boccaccini

This long-term visit takes place under EU Horizon 2020 Teaming Phase 2 funded project: „Baltic Biomaterials Centre of Excellence – BBCE„. Within the scope of the project, calcium phosphate/bioactive glass bone cements with dual drug/ion delivery capability are being developed. A comprehensive characterisation of the new bioceramic composites will be carried out, including the assessment of osteoconductivity and bioactivity. The project is a collaboration between the Institute of Biomaterials at FAU and the Rudolfs Cimdins Riga Biomaterials Innovations and Development Centre, Riga Technical University, Latvia.
