Clinical Focus- Hand and Upper Extremity Surgery
- Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
- Pediatric Hand Problems
Research InterestMy role in research is to apply novel advances in tissue engineering and microsurgery to the clinical problems of hand trauma, peripheral nerve injuries, and congenital hand problems. I am interested in developing new tissues and techniques that will allow optimal reconstruction of form and function to those patients requiring reconstructive surgery.
