Statement of Research Interest
Studies in our laboratory use genetic, cellular, and molecular approaches to understand how cells are activated following skeletal injury. We seek to uncover the transcriptional and epigenetic framework of cell fate decisions during the differentiation of progenitor cells into articular cartilage and ligaments. Our long-term goal is to translate these findings to activate stem cells for joint repair and develop regenerative treatments to restore function in patients suffering from osteoarthritis or traumatic joint injury.
