Research Interests
My research focuses on the bioavailability of growth factors. This consists of the study of growth factor association and dissociation with the various interstitial components, proteolytic processing, etc. under a variety of physiological conditions. By utilizing this basic science information, we will improve biomimetic tissue engineered materials appropriate for musculoskeletal tissue repair and regeneration.
