Summary

Our laboratory focuses on the structure, function, and medical applications of the biomatrix surrounding cells, with special expertise in the glycosaminoglycan hyaluronan.

We use both bioanalytical and biophysical approaches to identify biomarkers and bioactive fragments derived from the extracellular matrix, and to develop medical diagnostic assays. We apply our knowledge to discover and develop biotherapeutics and biomaterials.
