Research
osteoarthritis, cartilage repair and regeneration, alpha-1-antitrypsin, pro-resolving mediators, inflammation resolution
Interests
My research focus is on harnessing the properties of endogenous pro-resolving molecules, defining their biology and cartilage reparative signatures to inform innovative therapeutic approaches for the treatment of osteoarthritis and joint pathologies.As such, I am interested in the development of in vitro models of chondrogenesis that can accurately predict the cartilage regenerative potential of drug candidates in vivo.
