The project titled “MagZEObone: Smart Magnetic Biomaterials Based on Zeolites and ZIFs in Service of Humanity - Multifunctional Bone Healing and Regeneration” has received funding in the Sonata 19 competition. The aim of this project is to develop innovative magnetic biomaterials based on zeolites and zeolite imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) as a multifunctional bone healing and regeneration tool. These biomaterials will respond to static magnetic fields to enhance bone tissue regeneration. We aim to develop material solution to the problems of modern biomedicine. Combining the chemistry, biology, engineering and medicine will allow our team to look at the picture from a bigger perspective: synthesizing the novel materials by means of chemical methods, modifying its properties with biopolymers and chosen drugs for a sustained release, optimizing the process parameters of each part of the project, biological characterization, and in the end medical application. Therefore, we will obtain specialized chemical and biological knowledge, that could be useful to solve the real-life problems.
Jakub Matusiak (PI) and Wojciech Franus are involved in the project's implementation. The project partner is Agata Przekora-Kuśmierz from the Medical University of Lublin.
