The Laboratory is directed by Drs.
Research programs are underway in three areas.
These studies are exploring the interactions between synovium and cartilage in both an animal model of spontaneous osteoarthritis and in in vitro synovial cartilage co-cultures. We are investigating the construction of cartilage biocomposites using novel cell sources and growth factor delivery systems in an autologous matrix. Currently being done in vitro , these studies are planned for in vivo testing within 1-2 years. All Rights Reserved.
