Research
Musculoskeletal, Leukocyte Trafficking, Omega-3, Chemotaxis
Interests
My research group is interested in how omega-3 derived lipid mediators can protect and repair joint tissues. I have a keen interest in the development of human in vitro models to mimic various aspects of the inflammatory response including leukocyte-endothelial interactions, cell chemotaxis, phagocytosis and efferocytosis as well as the development of musculoskeletal models.Publications
