Lecture Summary: David Gibbs research follows two main themes: Firstly he is using clay crystals to develop a vehicle providing sustained delivery of growth factors at a site of bone or soft tissue injury via a percutaneous injection, this accelerating fracture union and soft tissue repair. The second theme is the development of 3-D printed scaffolds to allow them to be used as a synthetic bone graft in treatment of broken bones and hip replacements requiring revision surgery with bone grafting. His TEAtime keynote lecture will focus on his research into the development of 3D printed scaffolds that can be used as synthetic bone graft in treatment of broken bones and hip replacements. He will explore the current clinical problems and highlight how 3D printing may provide solutions to these issues.
