Research Interests
The goal of Lin Lab is to apply the latest biological knowledge and state-of-art technology in orthopaedic research and translate the research findings into effective treatments for joint diseases. Focusing on translational research, there are three integrated projects in Lin Lab: investigating the association between aging and OA; establishing an in vitro microphysiological OA model for OA pathogenesis study and drug development; testing the stem cell-based therapy for the repair of cartilage injury.
