  1. Current research activities

    2. Research involves the establishment of adult stem cells for use in cartilage tissue repair process. We are exploring the factors that will commit stems cells to produce cartilage, and biomaterial delivery systems. In addition we are conducting proteomic and gene expression profiling studies on cartilage development.
