Scripps Research Joint Appointments
Research Focus
I am a Professor of Molecular Medicine at The Scripps Research Institute in Arthritis Research and Director of Musculoskeletal Research at Scripps Health. I have broad multidisciplinary experience spanning orthopaedic surgery, bioengineering, cartilage and stem cell biology, and translational and clinical outcomes. My major interests include musculoskeletal biomechanics. I lead a team of bioengineers, material scientists, computer scientists, and orthopaedic surgeons to tackle unmet medical needs for musculoskeletal reconstruction.
