Projects
Inflammation and Disc Herniation:
Our goal is to understand how macrophages contribute to disease progression, and how we can then target these macrophages during treatment.
Disc-on-a-Chip
Our lab has devised an organ-on-a-chip platform to investigate disc biology and identify effective therapies for disc degeneration.
Target Therapy
Our aim is to develop an effective target therapy to deliver potent anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory nanoparticles to a local disc herniation site to calm nerve irritation.
Pain Patch
The goal of this project is to develop a wireless microneedle pain patch for back pain patients.
