Bone regenerative medicine

Bone regeneration is a critical challenge in the treatment of fractures, bone loss due to tumor resection, and alveolar bone deficiencies. Approximately 2 2 million bone graft procedures are performed annually worldwide. Despite significant progress in bone tissue engineering, there is an unmet need for patient-specific longlasting bone restoration Dr. Adler-Abramovich’s research in the Laboratory of Bioinspired Materials is focused on mimicking selfassembly processes that occur in nature, including biomineralization and the organization of short https://lihi13.wixsite.com/lihi peptides and amino acids into ordered nanostructures. We are a materials science laboratory with emphasis on organic chemistry and medical-biological applications The group aims to develop customized supramolecular scaffolds that will promote personalized therapy for bone regenerative medicine, thus significantly advancing the fields of tissue engineering and materials science while offering a novel solution to a major healthcare issue.
