Bioactive glass – in search of synthetic alternatives

Natalia Wójcik in the laboratory
Natalia Wójcik, PhD, from the  Institute of Nanotechnology and Materials Engineering, is seeking alternative materials, more precisely modified bioactive vitreous materials for the production of composites used in bone implants. This research can contribute to development of more advanced implants in the future, which will regenerate bone defects and will not interfere with the biochemical balance of the body.

The materials currently used for bone implants production are composed of bioactive glass.  It is commonly used silicate-based glass, which is added even to some toothpastes. Thanks to them, implants have properties that force the bone to regenerate exactly in the place where they are located. Silicon oxide constitutes 50% of the composition of this glass, the rest being admixtures of phosphorus, calcium and sodium oxide.

The scientists from the Gdańsk University of Technology and the Medical University of Gdańsk are working to obtain new compounds blocking the activity of enzymes which play a key role in the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus replication process. In the near future, this is supposed to permit the development of an effective, safe and cheap Polish drug preventing the severe course of COVID-19.

The objective of the research of the team headed by Prof. Sebastian Demkowicz, Associate Professor of the Gdańsk Tech, from the Department of Organic Chemistry of the Faculty of Chemistry of the Gdańsk University of Technology, is to obtain new effective SARS-CoV-2 Mpro pro

Call in the first edition of the Cuprum Supporting Research Team Building in Emerging Areas program (1.04-13.05.22)

Cuprum
The Program is aimed at increasing and enriching the scientific potential of Gdańsk Tech as a result of creating new research teams led by Gdańsk Tech scientists conducting research in the field of architecture and urban planning or in the field of social sciences, with the participation of foreign scientists. Within the Program it is possible to obtain a university grant for financing the costs of establishing and functioning of a new research team in Gdańsk Tech in the initial period of its activity.
Budget
  • The project budget planned in the application cannot exceed PLN 300 000 gross.
  • The project implementation period can be from 3 to 12 months.

What cost categories can be planned in the project?
Costs may include, among others:
