Our research program can be divided programmatically into three focus areas in the field of comparative orthopedics and regenerative medicine: study of pathological responses in osteoarthritis, elucidation of the role of the gut microbiome in orthopedic conditions, and the development of cellular and immunomodulatory approaches to treat musculoskeletal disease. Our laboratory’s work spans bench to bedside, integrating basic molecular-cellular biology techniques and pre-clinical animal models of orthopedic conditions to inform clinical interventions in veterinary and human patients. The overall goal is to pursue a basic study of musculoskeletal homeostasis and disease to develop therapeutic strategies addressing key orthopedic challenges including osteoarthritis and multidrug-resistant infection.
