Research interests:
- My research integrates a range of approaches to investigate the mechanisms by which skeletal innervation and angiogenesis regulate bone development, remodelling and repair. Our main research interests are to establish the role of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the skeletal vascular network during bone modelling and remodeling, both in vitro and in vivo. My group is also involved in the study of the molecular interactions between bone and energy homeostases. Our project explores the role of AMPK, in the control of bone mass and its regulation by leptin. Finally we are actively involved in research in musculoskeletal regenerative medicine and we develop the use of autologous mesenchymal stem cells isolated from bone marrow for distraction osteogenesis.
