- Research techniques:We use advanced genetic and functional techniques to unravel the underlying mechanisms of connective tissue and growth disorders. These techniques are primarily focused on creation and functional characterisation of mouse and human iPSC models (iPSC-chondrocytes, iPSC-vascular smooth muscle cells) of these disorders.
