Craniofacial Regeneration Laboratory
Principal Investigator: Justine C. Lee, MD, PhD, FACS
Our laboratory is focused on safe, simple, and surgically practical solutions for bone regeneration of the craniofacial skeleton. Our primary interest is to develop a suite of easy-to-use, off-the-shelf, extracellular matrix-inspired materials that utilize the body's own ability to heal bone without the addition of growth factors or harvesting and ex vivo cultivation of adult stem cells. Our laboratory functions primarily as a translational laboratory with expertise in cell biology, biochemistry, signal transduction between materials and progenitor cells, and preclinical in vivo testing of calvarial regeneration.
Join our lab as a postdoctoral fellow or research fellow!
