Research
Regeneration of musculoskeletal tissues, including enhancement of fracture healing; cartilage resurfacing techniques; tendon healing and regeneration, and development of long bone fracture repair methods. The Comparative Orthopaedic Research Laboratory is a multi-investigator group that focuses on bone, tendon, cartilage, and joint injury, inflammation and repair.
Responsibilities
Dean, School of Veterinary Medicine
Vilas Distinguished Achievement Professor
Co-Director, Comparative Orthopaedic Research Laboratory
Clinical Interests
Large animal surgery, specializing in orthopedics.
Graduate Training
I co-direct the Comparative Orthopaedic Research Laboratory where we focus on the regeneration of musculoskeletal tissues, including tendon, cartilage and bone. This work is comparative in nature and meant to benefit animals and humans. I periodically have training opportunities for M.S. and Ph.D. students depending on current funding.
