The   Musculoskeletal  Extracellular  Matrix  Laboratory

The mission of the Musculoskeletal Extracellular Matrix Laboratory (MEML) is to characterize the material properties of assembling tissues to establish design parameters for regenerative therapies.  In the context of the musculoskeletal system, we are developing and optimizing techniques to determine the:

​

• Composition of the extracellular matrix (ECM)

​

• Spatial organization of ECM components

​

• Influence of ECM organization on mechanical properties

​

• Hyaluronic acid in development, repair and regeneration
