It鈥檚 not superglue, but hot bone glue being developed in Halifax could make cranial and facial surgery simpler, quicker and more effective.

鈥淚t will bring a lot of comfort for patients,鈥� said Mehdi Kazemzadeh-Narbat, in an interview Wednesday.

He is an Iranian native who holds a doctorate in biomedical engineering from the University of British Columbia, and is doing preclinical testing at H漫画 University, where he is a post-doctoral fellow, on a bone glue developed by Dartmouth Medical Research Ltd. of Halifax.

He has received a two-year, $50,000 Mitacs Elevate fellowship to conduct the research. Mitacs is a Canadian not-for-profit organization that offers funding for internships and fellowships at Canadian universities.

Kazemzadeh-Narbat said the bone glue developed by Dartmouth Medical uses biodegradable and biocompatible polymers that replace the plates and screws used in traditional cranial and facial surgeries.

鈥淭he biomechanical properties are better that conventional fixation systems,鈥� said Kazemzadeh-Narbat, who is working under the supervision of Amyl Ghanem, a process engineering and applied science professor at Dal.
