# overview
Primary research focus is on the role of canine mesenchymal stem cells in bone and cartilage tissue engineering and their use in bone regeneration. Characterization of human and canine osteogenic transcriptional profiles.  Collaborative research includes the use of shape memory polymer scaffolds as self-fitting scaffolds for bone defect healing in animal models and bison management and conservation.
