Investigating And Determine Compatible Naturally Based...

The objective of this project is to investigate and determine compatible naturally based elements that can potentially replace and be integrated into the bone tissue, for medical purposes. These elements should be similar in characteristic and structure of the bone tissue, so that they can effectively replace the tissue and help stimulate bone growth and cellular growth, in order to maintain bone homeostasis. In order to achieve compatibility, factors such as 3-D polymeric structures within bone scaffolding, cellular composition and many other aspects should be considered within all these plausible elements. After finding potential candidates for replacements of bone tissue, each element will be organized based on their compatibility and traits that make them suited for implementation. Based on the comparison of materials, we found that the bamboo was the most suitable candidate for the implementation based on it’s biocompatibility potential, biodegradability potential and mechanical integrity.

For my co-op placement, I decided to investigate the field of biomedical engineering. As a result, I was paired up with a professor from the University of Ottawa.
