Mentor Areas
The overall goal of my research is to combine studies on fundamental mechanisms of skeletal cell function with translational medicine approaches to treat skeletal diseases. My group uses a combination of molecular, biochemical, imaging techniques, and animal models to investigate the molecular mechanisms by which hormones and growth factors regulate bone metabolism and skeletal development under normal and pathological conditions. In the past decade, I have made some groundbreaking discoveries that greatly advance our understanding of molecular regulation of bone metabolism, stem cell biology, and skeletal development and provided promising therapeutic tools for skeletal disorders.
