Human Soft Tissue Research Laboratory

The Human Soft Tissue Research Laboratory was established in 2004 and is now housed in the state-of-the-art New England Musculoskeletal Institute. The laboratories include Biomechanics, Human Cell and Tissue Biology, and Clinical Trials and Outcomes in Orthopaedics.

Mission Statement: The Human Soft Tissue Research Laboratory strives to achieve scientific excellence with an emphasis on translational research to enhance patient well being with a commitment to broaden education in the orthopaedic community.

This involves utilizing human tissue and examining cellular responses in order to investigate and test novel biomaterials that are biologically compatible and clinically relevant.

The three components of our lab are:

• Biomechanics
• Human Cell and Tissue Biology
• Clinical Trials and Outcomes in Orthopaedics
