Research Interests
Bone graft alternatives; Spine fusion studies; Clinical spine practices; Practice of spine surgery
Research Summary
The focus of my research is exploring the potential role and mechanism of osteobiologics to facilitate bone formation. This is needed for fusion, which is a common surgical procedure. Our efforts are primarily at the preclinical, biomechanical, and molecular levels.
My laboratory also performs multiple studies critically evaluating multiple aspects of current clinical practice.
