This is Eva the dog, our first patient. We saved her leg from amputation by using our bone regeneration technologies. The work required a large multidisciplinary team with expertise in biomaterials, bioengineering, cell engineering and veterinary medicine.
The importance of the work was recognised by Sir Bobby Charlton who travelled to Glasgow and meet Eva. We are working with his charity – the Sir Bobby Charlton Foundation - to translate this regenerative technology to developing countries badly affected by landmines.
