The Taylor Lab

As a team, our research goal is to investigate the reparative and regenerative processes of musculoskeletal tissues, primarily tendons and the connected tissue interfaces and use this information for therapeutic discovery. We are particularly interested in the development of cell-free tailored interventions that restore the musculoskeletal tissue structure and function.
