Cathy began in the lab in the fall of 2004 after working as a Research Technician for 2 years in the Tumor Microcirculation laboratory at Duke University. Since starting in McKay, she has been working on the Rotator Cuff Tendon to Bone Insertion Site Healing grant which focuses mainly on the effects of immobilization and remobilization on tendon healing properties in a rat model.
