Research:
| Title: | Principle Investigator |
| Description: | We have developed bio-engineered, chitosan-stabilised blood clots that have a demonstrated capacity to regenerate cartilage in animal models. My research program will identify structural patterns in chitosan that elicit angiogenic responses within bone marrow in vivo. |
| Axes of Biomedical Applications: | Musculoskeletal |
| Technological Approaches: | Biomaterials, Imaging, Nanotechnology and microsystems, In vivo models |
| Expertise: | in vivo models, fluorescent labeling, immunohistology, western blot, tissue engineering, gene expression, biochemical assays, articular cartilage, biomaterials, molecular-cell biology |
