MS Cornell University PhD Cornell University Research Summary:The research in my laboratory focuses on tissue engineering, with an emphasis on articular cartilage regeneration. There are three main ongoing research projects: characterization of local endogenous stem cells that may be recruited for cartilage regeneration, multi-stage growth factor delivery for endogenous stem cell recruitment and cartilage wound healing, and multi-scale characterization of native and regenerated cartilage collagen networks and their interface connectivity. The overall goal of my research program is to induce an in situ cartilage healing response in cartilage injuries that typically do not heal in the clinical population. Honors and Awards:
