Personal profile
Research Interests
We are involved in a variety of bimomechanical research projects in order to compare and optimize the biomechanics of fracture fixation. I am also collaborating with Sam Stupp at IBNAM looking at ways to enhance bone regeneration in a traumatic defect animal model using nanotechnology.
