- This multidisciplinary collaborative project utilised pair distribution function analysis to investigate the systematic structural differences between synthetic and biogenic hydroxyapatites. The work, carried out at the UK’s X-ray synchrotron facility, to date has led to three further publications, ten invited talks, and led directly to an EPSRC DTP Award investigating structural and chemical changes in osteoarthritic tissue; the student subsequently secured a postdoctoral position. It was used, in part, to support a successful MRC grant application (MR/T000406/1). It also informed industrial practices associated with innovative orthopaedic medical devices manufactured by Zimmer-Biomet and led to new international-industrial collaborations (e.g. https://www.nistadiagnostics.com/).
