Hsu Lab Research

The research team led by bone biologist, Erin Hsu, and orthopaedic surgeon, Wellington Hsu, focuses on developing novel biomaterials for bone regeneration. The approaches and technologies they utilize include stem cell-based therapies, nanotechnology-based synthetic matrices, and osteoinductive 3D-printable natural and synthetic materials.With a particular pre-clinical focus on spine, an overarching goal of the Hsu laboratory is to develop translatable technologies that promote bone regeneration and spinal fusion more efficiently and safely than current clinically available products.In this endeavor, the Hsu group collaborates with a number of materials scientists and engineers.
