The focus of the Laboratory is on understanding the cell biology of calcified tissues using a variety of approaches integrating morphology, biochemistry, cell/tissue culturing, and molecular biology. Research interests include improving our understanding of the development, physiology, and pathology of calcified tissues in order to develop new strategies for the prevention of disease and for repair and regeneration of hard tissues.
We have been applying information derived from recent studies to create "intelligent" biomaterials capable of guiding and accelerating tissue healing and improving the integration of these materials within host tissues.
Technology developed for nanotexturing metals and covalent attachment of bioactive molecules at their surfaces is now being extended to the production of unique biosensors.
