Allow us to reintroduce ourselves. The Arthritis and Arthroplasty Design (AAD) Lab was founded by Dr. Kenneth Urish in 2016 with a mission to improve diagnosis and treatment of arthritis, focusing on joint arthroplasty. Our work is highly translational with an emphasis on conducting basic science projects and clinical studies to improve the diagnosis, management, and treatment of arthritis. To accomplish this, the engineering and translational work in the laboratory focus on using bioreactor design, drug development, molecular diagnostic, biomarker techniques and bacteriophage therapy. Retrospective, prospective, and large health databases and used to quantify clinical outcomes.
