Computational Scaffold Optimisation for Tissue Engineering

由于组织工程的巨大潜力，自1990年以来，已吸引了超过45亿美元的研发投资和26亿美元的市场资本。重要的是要巩固澳大利亚在这样一个竞争激烈的领域的地位。该项目旨在开发一种基于支架的组织工程新技术，这将有助于澳大利亚在相关领域处于领先地位，并提高其在未来生物材料、组织产品、生物医学软件和仪器全球市场的竞争力。对澳大利亚来说，一个巨大的社会经济利益将是我们老龄人口临床成功率的显著提高。

Due to exceptional potential, tissue engineering has attracted over US$4.5 billion research and development investment and another US$2.6 billion market capital since 1990. It is important to cement Australia's position in such a highly competitive field. This project aims to develop a novel technology for scaffold-based tissue engineering, which would help Australia lead in the relevant area and increase its competitiveness in the future global market of biomaterials, tissue products, biomedical software and instruments. An enormous socio-economic benefit to Australia would be a significant improvement in the clinical success rate for our ageing population.
