BBT researchers obtain funding for the development of innovative and intelligent biomaterials with regenerative and antimicrobial properties
Dec 20, 2024
Recently, the Agencia Estatal de Investigación (AEI) has published the final resolution for the granting of funding for the PID 2023 call. Among the funded projects, we find "DYNAMIC: Multifunctional dynamic biomaterials stimuli-responsive: addressing cellular responses and antibacterial properties for bone tissue engineering", led by Dr. Carles Mas Moruno and Dr. María Godoy Gallardo.
One of the main current challenges in medicine is the development of biomaterials capable of integrating properly with the body's tissues, while preventing bacterial infections. It is therefore essential that these materials not only help prevent infections, but also allow cell growth and optimal regeneration of the surrounding tissues.
The DYNAMIC project focuses on developing innovative biomaterials to address two major challenges in bone regeneration: stimulating cellular responses and providing advanced antibacterial properties. To achieve this, the project proposes creating intelligent biomaterials able to react in the presence of an infection. These materials are designed to release antibacterial peptides—small, highly effective molecules—at the right time and place, ensuring a precise and efficient response.
This approach represents a significant step forward in the field of bioengineering, offering solutions that enhance the safety and effectiveness of medical implants.
