Project Introduction
We are FlexiCarti, a research and denelopment teamconsisiting of
students from across the country. We aspire to provide the people of
the future with a drug that can eliminate osteoarthritis by demon-
strating the therapeutic feasibility of OGN for OA(osteoarthritis).

We are now just in the Phase l, our final aim is to a drug that
can raise the OGN in the
human body, but it do not have a fixed name yet.OGN is ex-
