Gullbrand Laboratory

Ongoing Research Projects

The Gullbrand Lab is focused on translational research along the spectrum from “bench” to “bedside,” with the goal of advancing care for spinal degenerative disorders. To do this, we seek to understand the pathomechanisms of spinal degeneration by studying crosstalk between the disc and its adjacent spinal structures, such as the endplates and facet joints. We also work towards developing and translating new tissue engineering and regenerative medicine-based strategies for intervertebral disc regeneration and repair. You can read more about our ongoing work in these areas here:
