Research Interests: My lab studies the systemic and local of effects of polytrauma on fracture repair with the clinical goal of improving osseous healing in these patients as polytrauma is an independent risk factor for fracture nonunion. We focus on how severe trauma alters the local fracture immune response initially and the longitudinal effects, focusing on the innate and adaptive immune alterations respectively. We use this information to develop therapeutic targets and immunomodulatory treatments.
