New Directions
The time spent
on sabbatical at the NIH, was focused on learning cell and molecular
biology techniques and animal models of human disease and skeletal
reconstruction. As a result, we have significantly broadened the
scope of our research program and major new biological components to
this research program have been developed. Specifically, we have
extended our biomechanics research from tissue and matrix-levels to
cellular and molecular levels. We have also extended our in-vitro
tissue mechanics work to in-vivo studies, which involve the use
of transgenic mice as clinically relevant models of disease. Lastly,
we have expanded our biomaterials program to the cell and molecular
levels and have developed an integrated materials science/cell and
molecular biology approach toward biomaterials design and analysis. . |
