Project realization
01.10.2013. - 31.08.2015.

Aim

Attract human resources by creating additional work places in the expression of 6.27 PLE and by creating an interdisciplinary scientific group for the development of new, innovative technologies with high added value for the creation of nanostructured bone implants composing materials with antibacterial and anti-staphylose properties. Such materials would ensure the fixation and reconstruction of damaged bone tissues, at the same time preventing infection risk and creating preventive and curative effect on bone tissues affected by osteoporosis

Description

The research theme of the project corresponds to such state priority scientific directions as innovative materials and technologies and public health

It is planned to achieve the following results: create a new scientific group and new jobs for scientific staff, prepare and submit at least four original scientific articles to be published in magazines included in SCOPUS or Web of Science databases, take part in at least two international conferences with reports of research results, develop two new innovative technologies for the acquisition of innovative technology nanostructured bone implant composite materials, and after the implementation of the project to provide jobs at Riga Technical University for at least three members of scientific staff.
On 22 May 2015 Riga Stradiņš University Medicine Doctoral Council granted Māris Grzibovskis a doctoral degree in medical sciences of the Republic of Latvia for the defence of the doctoral thesis “Quantitative evaluation of signal molecules in intercurrent septal tissues of different age groups”

 

Activities of the project

  • Create a new scientific group and new jobs for scientific staff
  • Prepare at least four original scientific articles to be published in SCOPUS or Web of Science databases included magazines
  • Participate in at least two scientific conferences with reports about research results
  • Develop two new innovative technologies for the acquisition of nanostructured bone implant composite materials
  • After the implementation of the project to provide jobs at Riga Technical University for at least three members of scientific staff

The implementer of the Project is Riga Technical University faculty of Material Science and Applied Chemistry, Institute of General Chemical Engineering

Project cooperation partner Riga Stradiņš University

The administrator of the project is Riga Technical university Project Management Department Project Implementation and Monitoring Department
