| Objective on the basis of need | To develop and optimize a Hadjod-infused bioink for 3D bioprinting to treat osteoarthritic lesions, promoting cartilage regeneration and reducing inflammation. |
| Executive summary of the proposed project (In 250 words) | This project utilizes Cissus quadrangularis (Hadjod), known for its muscle and bone-strengthening properties, in a 3D-bioprinting formulation for localized treatment of osteoarthritis. The bioink will enable the creation of personalized scaffolds for precise treatment, reducing systemic side effects and promoting cartilage healing. |
| Technology Readiness Level (If not a new project but an advancement of existing know how) | TRL 5 - Technology validated in a relevant environment. |
| Outomes or Deliverables | Personalized scaffolds for osteoarthritis treatment. Reduction in inflammation and progression of osteoarthritis. Enhanced cartilage regeneration. |
| Project aligned with which most relevant UN SDGs | Goal 3 - Good Health & Well-Being Goal 9 - Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure |
| Duration (In years) | 2 years |
| Expected Impact | Improved mobility and quality of life for osteoarthritis patients. Advancement in personalized medical solutions. |
| Implementation model (self- implemented/ outsourced partnership) | Academic collaboration and laboratory-based development. |
| Total Budget (Recurring +Non-Recurring Expenses) | INR 28.80 lakhs |
