Research Interests
Her research interests are in the pathophysiology of joint disease and repair.
Her particular areas of active research interest include the use of autologous cells, biological factors and biosynthetic scaffolds to repair musculoskeletal damage, the response of cartilage to load (with particular emphasis on the response of the serine protease HtrA1) and the role of the wnt signalling pathway inhibitor, sclerostin, in joint damage and repair. She is also interested in stem cell tracking and in developing novel methods for detecting tracked cells through advanced imaging .
