I trained in tissue engineering, orthopaedics, controlled drug delivery, mechanobiology and regenerative medicine to build a program focused on:
1) Treating airway disorders via translational tissue engineering and targeted preventative drug delivery approaches;
2) Investigating the basic cellular, molecular, and microbiological mechanisms as well as the genetic aspects of ear, nose, and throat damage and healing;
3) Developing organ-on-chip and animal models of cartilage, vocal folds, and craniofacial tissues growth, disease, and repair.
