Our overarching objective is to decipher fundamental mechanisms that drive osteoarthritis and develop novel
molecular therapies for cartilage repair osteoarthritis. We investigate new strategies to regenerate damaged articular
cartilage and other musculoskeletal tissues to restore the original functionality. Based on clinical needs, we are
developing molecular therapies for the treatment of focal cartilage defects in non-osteoarthritic joints, meniscal
lesions and osteoarthritis. We employ patient samples and animal models to interrogate the osteochondral crosstalk
in health and disease with an emphasis on patient-specific factors. Another major area of interest is to utilize (AAV).
