Biography: 

My research program is focused on novel approaches for improving musculoskeletal health and spans from developing diagnostic imaging strategies, surgical innovation and implant design, as well as a focus on osteoimmunology. Our main areas of research are presently: 

  1. Pioneering a user-friendly anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury prevention application of particular relevance to female athletes. The application will be a useful screening tool for athletes at risk of injury and could be adopted by medical professionals but also by coaches, parents and athletes themselves with the goal of widespread, accessible, ACL injury prevention. 

  1. Harnessing the body’s own immune response to injury to promote tissue healing. This strategy could be used to promote better repair tissue in patients at high risk of fracture complications or even to prepare patients prior to undergoing surgical interventions that require bone healing.
