| Objective on the basis of need | To develop 3D-printed scaffolds using mineralized Himalayan sheep wool for bone regeneration and localized chemotherapy. |
| Executive summary of the proposed project (In 250 words) | The project aims to create composite scaffolds from Himalayan sheep wool, combined with hydroxyapatite for enhanced bone regeneration. These scaffolds will also deliver localized chemotherapy for osteosarcoma, minimizing systemic toxicity and improving patient outcomes. |
| 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 | Improved osteosarcoma treatment with localized drug delivery. Enhanced bone regeneration through innovative scaffolds. |
| 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 | Reduced side effects and improved quality of life for osteosarcoma patients. |
| Implementation model (self- implemented/ outsourced partnership) | Collaboration with research institutes and hospitals. |
| Total Budget (Recurring +Non-Recurring Expenses) | INR 28.80 lakhs |
