Jaime joined the McKay Orthopaedic Research Laboratory in January 2021 and currently is investigating new strategies to perform isolation and preserve collagen fibrils (roles of collagen XI and V) obtained from the mouse model before and after injury. He also studies the mechanical and morphological properties of collagen fibrils using AFM. When he is not in the Lab, Jaime enjoys playing soccer, cooking, and spending time with his family.
