About

Introduction

My research focuses on studying chondrocyte subpopulations in disease and cartilage repair. Specifically, I am interested in the zone of calcified cartilage, the thin interfacial layer connecting the non-calcified cartilage and subchondral bone. I am also interested in biomaterials to support and stimulate musculoskeletal tissue repair.

I am also part of the Bone Tissue Engineering Lab in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.

Field(s) of expertise

Tissue engineering, cartilage and osteochondral model, biomaterials, 3D bioprinting, bioreactors
