Research Interests:
The research directions in this laboratory involve the growth and development and the effects of physical, environmental and disease states on the connective tissues.  Primary emphasis is directed toward bone and the various types of cartilage such as growth plates utilizing histochemistry, electron microscopy and cytochemistry techniques.  These studies frequently involve collaborations with biochemical and cell biology research faculty in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery.
