We are introducing the new 'Inside the Lab' series featuring the innovative research projects Duke Department of Orthopaedic Surgery students, faculty, and staff are actively pursuing this year.
Today, in the McNulty lab, graduate student Vianna Martinez is leading a project focused on identifying critical age-related mechanoresponsive pathways and modulating these pathways to prevent age-related osteoarthritis development. Vianna was recently awarded a Carl Storm Underrepresented Minority Fellowship to present this work at the Cartilage Gordon Conference.
