Cartilage + Synovium Biology
Mechanisms of cartilage and synovium degeneration and repair in osteoarthritis and post-traumatic disease, linking tissue biology with translational outcomes.
Key methods:

What I work on
- Early tissue and cellular changes that precede gross degeneration
- Quantitative phenotyping across histology and imaging
- Translational models that connect biology to clinically relevant outcomes
Key questions
- What early cartilage and synovium changes predict later degeneration?
- How do cartilage and synovium interactions shape inflammation and repair?
- Which pathways are most actionable for translational intervention?
