Luminate
Lighting the way towards in situ osteochondral regeneration through microextrusion and filamented light bioprinting
LUMINATE will bring regenerative medicine directly in the patient to heal the knee bone and cartilage atfer traumatic injuries. Our solution will synergize innovations in novel bioprinting technologies and biomaterials to introduce a more effective and efficient one-stage regenerative procedure
A traumatic injury to the knee can mean more than just immediate pain, as it can lead to long-term discomfort, limited movement, and a higher chance of developing arthritis. Unfortunately, current treatments are often expensive, hard to access, and may only postpone the need for a knee prosthesis.
The LUMINATE solution is based on four main pillars
New bioprinting technology
Developing a new bioprinting technology to print directly inside the patient body
Creating novel biomaterials
Creating novel biomaterials tailored for the bone and cartilage and bone tissues, and mixing them with patient-derived cells for a personalized treatment
Exploiting AI
Exploiting Artificial Intelligence and advanced computational models to support the project technical development and provide surgeons with improved tools
Accelerating Clinical Translation
Accelerate the pathway to clinical translation, by taking into consideration regulatory aspects throughout the whole project development
