We will develop critical foundational components of a novel approach for the regeneration of amputated limbs by transducing a specific population of autologous skeletal stem cells to induce a blastema-like state, followed by implantation at the amputation site to initiate regeneration of the missing limb.

The candidate may also participate in other projects investigating the cellular and molecular mechanisms of orthopaedic implant osseointegration, including an ongoing project funded by the Department of Defense, with Dr. Xu Yang serving as PI.The postdoctoral fellow will report directly to Dr. Xu Yang for guidance on experimental design and research direction and will attend weekly laboratory meetings with Dr. Bostrom and Dr.
