I have worked in the Grodzinsky Lab in Tech Square for over a year now. My project focuses on a tissue engineering strategy for cartilage repair. I learned about OpenWetWare from 20.109, and I've joined because 20.109 uses a wiki page everyday.

Please briefly describe any previous laboratory experience
I started working in the Grodzinsky Lab during IAP 2014. I continued to work there Spring 2014, Summer 2014, Fall 2015 and now Spring 2015. I have worked on many sub-projects under my overall project which is a tissue engineering strategy for cartilage repair. The project aims to prevent post-traumatic osteoarthritis in patients who have suffered traumatic joint injuries. I have studied means to improve interfacial integration between native and the neo-tissue formed during cartilage repair. I have looked at enzyme pretreatments and growth factor additions to improve integration. I've learned histology preparation & image processing, sterile tissue culture techniques, mechanical force testing with a Dynastat machine, stem cell plating/expansion, DNA, DMMB and Scintillation Assays.
