NIH/NIAMS (Subcontract) $74,582 /Year
*Aim 1 examining the role of inflammation in rotator cuff degeneration and repair.
Goals: Rotator cuff disease is a significant clinical problem affecting millions of individuals each year. Rotator cuff tears require repair of tendon to bone, yet successful healing is rarely achieved. Our aim is to develop new treatment approaches for enhanced tendon-to-bone healing to guide clinical care of rotator cuff pathologies.
