I study skeletal biology from the perspective of stem cell biology. Our research explores the developmental processes involved in skeletal formation, the interactions between various tissue types, and the roles of stem cells in the formation, maintenance, and healing of skeletal structures. Clinically, our work applies to common and debilitating health issues, such as osteoarthritis (e.g., knee and hip problems) and osteoporosis (e.g., fragile bones and bone fractures).
