Areas of Special Interest
Eric's research interests focus on understanding the cellular response and subsequent adaptation to mechanical and molecular cues and leveraging these principles towards orthopaedic tissue engineering. When he's not in lab, Eric can be found singing in the shower, playing chamber music, or further honing his already-devastating jump shot.Nuclear Mechanotransduction, Mechanobiology, Mesenchymal Stem Cells
