Her research focuses on orthopaedic/musculoskeletal tissue engineering and regenerative medicine strategies mainly oriented to tendon and ligament.
These strategies aim to promote tissue regeneration and include studies on (stem) cell biology of the tendon in homeostatic and pathological conditions, modulation of inflammation mechanisms and the resource to magnetic actuated technologies as non-invasive platforms to remotely instruct cells.
