Research Programs

Directors: Suzanne Maher, PhD, Scott Rodeo, MD

The goal of the Orthopedic Soft Tissue Research Program is to determine the biological, biochemical, bimolecular and biomechanical mechanisms responsible for development, damage, degeneration and healing of the musculoskeletal tissues, cartilage, meniscus, ligaments and tendons, and to use this information to develop new cell and tissue based strategies to prevent, repair, regenerate or replace the injured tissues.
