My research is aimed toward understanding the mechanisms regulating cartilage hypertrophy and degenerative cartilage diseases. For this I employ a variety of molecular biology, biochemical and biophysical techniques in combination with computational modeling to understand signaling pathways important in the development, maintenance and loss of cartilage homeostasis.
