Welcome to the

We are an interdisciplinary team dedicated to uncovering new insights into musculoskeletal tissue oxygenation and the pivotal role of erythrocyte function & development in musculoskeletal health, injury, and disease. Leveraging this knowledge, we aim to regenerate bone, to restore cartilage and to advance biomaterials


We invite you to explore our opportunities and consider joining our team!
