Musculoskeletal Models

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.
