View full abstract and other project information on NIH RePORTER Go To NIH RePORTER Excerpt: My professional aspiration is to develop an independent research career exploring innovative implants and therapeutics for musculoskeletal tissue repair and regeneration. During my graduate studies at Rutgers University, I designed and fabricated a novel fiber-reinforced meniscus scaffold, evaluated it in a long-term large animal model, and tested its implantation and load-bearing efficacy in human cadaveric knees. With this productive graduate career involving macro-scale biomechanics and tissu... |
