Research Interests

A major current research interest is in adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) tissue engineering. The aims of my study are: (1) to investigate chondrogenesis using MSCs derived from hIPFP tissue; and, (2) to characterize the temporal changes in gene expression and gene profiles utilizing microarray technique after chondrogenic induction in micromass (pellet) and 3D natural biopolymer scaffolds including chitosan and hyaluronic acid scaffolds. I attended two conferences: international at Baltimore, USA and national at Brisbane, Australia in 2013 to present myPhD work; the title is “Microarray analysis for gene expression profiling of human infrapatellar fat pad-derived mesenchymal stem cells undergoing chondrogenesis”. Recently in 2014, a paper; the title is “Differentiation of stem cells derived from human infrapatellar fat pad for cartilage engineering: Characterization of cells undergoing chondrogenesis” had accepted and published in Tissue engineering Part A journal.
