A Nanoengineered Solution to Drug Delivery in Bone

Grant number: DP120101680 | Funding period: 2013 - 2014

Completed

Abstract

This project presents an exciting new approach of applying nanotechnology to bone research. By combining our expertise in nanoengineering of new materials, mathematical modelling and bone biology, this project will result in a well-characterised model for drug delivery into bone and lead to a new therapeutic approach for treating bone diseases.
