    Research Vision
  • The aim of this lab is to develop technologies that improve longevity and structural function of orthopedic biomaterials
     

  • Our research involves understanding the functionality of healthy cartilage, the processes of tissue degradation, and the development of novel materials that can provide relief to patients suffering from degenerative joint disease
     

  • We seek to bring together clinicians, engineers, and scientists to solve clinically relevant problems in orthopedics

 

Education Vision

  • To provide educational opportunities from the post-doctoral level through the high school level
     
  • To provide mentorship and outreach through research
     
  • To develop and educational center that fosters interdisciplinary research
