Research summary

This researcher studies how the body's wound-healing and immune processes go wrong after injury, particularly focusing on how immune cells called macrophages and monocytes drive abnormal tissue repair, scarring, and heterotopic ossification (bone forming where it shouldn't, such as in muscle after trauma). Work also touches on nerve signaling's role in tissue regeneration and, in some publications, cancer biology related to a rare tumor type called liposarcoma. This research combines cell biology, immunology, and tissue engineering approaches to understand and potentially treat trauma-related complications.
