Description
The Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (IIT-K) has collaborated with Canadian biotechnology company Conlis Global Inc. to license an innovative new technology that promotes bone healing and regeneration.
IIT Kanpur, a memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed by Professor Tarun Gupta, Dean of Resources and Development at IIT Kanpur, and Dr Sumrita Bhat, CEO of Conlis Global Inc. at IIT Kanpur in the presence of Professor S. Ganesh, Director of IIT Kanpur, Professor Ankush Sharma, Professor In-charge, Start-up Incubation and Innovation Centre (SIIC) at IIT Kanpur, Professor Ashok Kumar, Department of Biological Sciences and Bioengineering at IIT.
Professor Ashok Kumar and his team from IIT Kanpur's Department of Biological Sciences & Bioengineering developed the technology, which is titled 'Nano Hydroxyapatite-Based Porous Polymer Composite Scaffolds for Bioactive Molecule Delivery in Musculoskeletal Regeneration,'.
Professor Ashok Kumar said, “The technology facilitates bone regeneration in a biocompatible manner by acting as a carrier for bone-active biomolecules, delivering them directly to the site of an implant.”
He stated that the material was a promising approach to reconstructing and repairing bone defects while addressing the limitations and complications associated with current market technologies.
Speaking at the event, IIT Kanpur Director Professor Ganesh stated that the licensing of this novel technology developed in-house for promoting bone healing and regeneration to Conlis Global marks another significant milestone in IIT Kanpur's R&D endeavour.
He highlighted that “innovative technology is a prime example of how a real difference can be made, adding that the institution looks forward to seeing how this technology will help people, not just in India but worldwide."
Conlis Global CEO Dr. Sumrita Bhat, while highlighting the potential impact of the new technology, said "the company was thrilled to partner with IIT Kanpur to bring the innovative solution to the market. She added that the technology represents a significant step forward in treating bone and joint disorders."
Professor Tarun Gupta, Dean of Resources and Development at IIT Kanpur, stated that the signing of the MOU with Conlis Global is an important milestone in the institution's efforts to bridge the gap between research and development, taking a product from lab to commercial stage and into the market.
Some Characteristics Of The New Technology
The Nano Hydroxyapatite-based Porous Composite Scaffolds are biodegradable and have osteoinductive (bone healing process) and osteopromotive (new bone growth material) properties that aid in bone regeneration.
It is highly biocompatible, allowing for good cell material interaction with osteoblast cells (cells responsible for bone mineralization during bone formation and bone remodeling), as well as high mechanical strength and interaction between the polymer network and the solvent.
Functionalized scaffolds can be used as fillers in large bone defects while preserving connectivity, structural defects, oxygen, and blood circulation. It promotes tissue formation, mineralisation, and rapid defect healing.
