I am a molecular biologist determining the function of extracellular matrix proteins critical for development, function and repair of important tissues such as arteries, lung, kidney, eye and bone.
I am a biomechanical engineer researching the effects of mechanical loads on the human body, both at physiological and injurious loading levels. This research leads to both fundamental data on tissue properties and the physiological response, and also to
I am a geneticist determining the molecular mechanisms that underlie gonad (testis and ovary) development and dysgenesis in patients with disorders of sexual development.
My background is in the study of human molecular genetic disease, and my interest has evolved to the analysis of embryonic development using the mouse as a model system. My particular interest is in the molecular mechanisms governing limb and craniofacial
