Organ transplantation is available to only the lucky few, with, for example, less than 3000 of Australia's annual 30,000 patients suffering end-stage renal failure receiving transplants. Tissue engineering of soft, functional tissues using in vitro and/or in vivo methods offers the potential to replace missing or non-functioning tissues, such as liver, pancreas, lung, heart, fat and muscle, with newly created tissue. This project will deliver integrated, functional polymeric scaffolds for organ replacement. Over 12 higher degree candidates and one research associate will be trained in the field of tissue engineering, representing a significant benefit to the Australian scientific community.

只有少数幸运者才能获得器官移植，例如，澳大利亚每年30，000名患有终末期肾衰竭的患者中只有不到3，000人接受移植。使用体外和/或体内方法的软功能组织的组织工程提供了用新产生的组织替换缺失或无功能组织（例如肝脏、胰腺、肺、心脏、脂肪和肌肉）的可能性。该项目将为器官置换提供集成的功能性聚合物支架。超过12名高等学位候选人和一名研究助理将接受组织工程领域的培训，这对澳大利亚科学界来说是一个重大的好处。
