Funded Activity Summary

I am a cartilage biochemist investigating (1) cartilage remodelling in normal skeletal growth & development and (2) the molecular events that destroy cartilage in arthritic diseases. My research focuses on the molecules that define cartilage structure, and the enzymes that degrade and remodel it. Our analyses include work with molecules in test tubes, genetically modified mice with degradation-resistant cartilage, and synovial fluid samples from arthritis patients.
