About
Biography
My research is focused on developing treatments to make nerve regrowth more efficient and faster. I am also exploring strategies for rewiring nerves with the goal of preventing muscle atrophy, restoring motion and relieving pain. I have authored more than 100 peer-reviewed journal articles in addition to other publications. I also lead a federally funded translational scientific research investigation of advanced limb reconstruction.
