Research Areas

Study of mechanisms, preventions and therapies of bone and cartilage regenerative medicine, osteoarthritis (OA), osteoporosis (OP), and osteonecrosis (ON), including:

1. Develop drug for OA treatment and promote to industrial and/or clinical application.
2. Develop biomaterials in application of regenerative medicine for bone and cartilage.
3. Develop carriers for growth factors or drugs with bone substitute and promote to industrial and/or clinical application.
4. Study of stem cell applications in regenerative medicine and drug activity evaluation.
5. Study the genetic molecular mechanisms for drugs in osteogenic cells (osteoblasts and stem cells) and chondrocytes.
6. Drug development for treatment of bone and articular joint diseases.
7. Study of stem cell treatments in bone and articular joint diseases.
8. Study of physical therapy in prevention or treatment of muscle, nerve, bone and joint disease.
