Our lab is helping lead a team of researchers from Columbia University Irving Medical Center (CUIMC) and Columbia Engineering under Novel Innovations for Tissue Regeneration in Osteoarthritis (NITRO) to build a living knee replacement from biomaterials and human stem cells, including a patient’s own cells. ARPA-H is a federal funding agency that funds transformative biomedical and health research breakthroughs, rapidly translating research from the lab to applications in the marketplace.
