A Regenerative Biomaterial Therapeutic to Treat Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis (OA) affects millions globally, causing pain, stiffness, and disability, with significant economic costs. Current treatments focus on pain management, lacking curative options. We are developing novel biomaterials that mimic cartilage and bone to support regeneration, aiming to reverse OA through minimally invasive arthroscopic therapy. Our project will help define the target product profile, pre-clinical studies for FDA approval, and develop an insurance reimbursement strategy.
