Research Overview
There are three main themes to the work of my research group (i) the structure and function of the minor collagens of cartilage, in particular types III, IX, X and XI, how they change with age and in disease, as well as their importance in cartilage repair (ii) elucidation of the cell signalling pathways associated with mechanical and cytokine mediated cartilage degeneration and (iii) strategies for enhancing cartilage repair.
